The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council solemnly reiterated that dialogue and exchanges can be carried out as long as the DPP abandons its position of "Taiwan independence"

The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a regular press conference this morning. Chen Binhua, spokesman of the Taiwan Affairs Office, presided over the press conference.

Taiwan's China Times: What does the mainland want to say to Lai Qingde about his "May 20 inauguration"? What does the mainland want to hear? Lai Qingde has expressed many times recently that he is willing to carry out cross-strait dialogue in the way of "the ruling party to the ruling party". Is it possible to achieve this?

Chen Binhua: I have just answered similar questions about the inauguration speech of the new leaders in Taiwan. I would like to emphasize once again that as long as any political party in Taiwan recognizes the one China principle, there will be no obstacles to exchanges with us. As long as the DPP abandons its position of "Taiwan independence", dialogue and exchanges can proceed. (Editor/Wang Siyu)
