Cross-Straits Stalemate Dangerous: Article
Taiwan has been plagued by one chaos after another since the leader of the Taiwan authorities came to power half a year ago, and the people have been worried about cross-Straits relations in the fear of the pro-independence motives of the leadership, said a signed article released by Xinhua on Monday, December 11.
The Taiwan public are calling the Taiwan authorities to officially endorse the "one-China" principle, give the green light to direct mail, flight and business contacts in order to improve cross-Straits relations, it said.
However, separatists of the Taiwan authorities like Annette Lu Hsiu-lien and Tsai Ying-wen have been flagrantly opposing the will of the public, it said.
Lu said that "accepting the principle of 'one-China' equals surrender ..." Tsai said that "we may not mention the words of ' two countries' but we cannot deny the existence of such a fact."
The article attributed such wrongdoing to the leader of the Taiwan authorities, who has been ambiguous on the "one-China" principle and has merely been playing word games.
The "two countries" remarks by separatist Lee Teng-hui is still controlling Taiwan's mainland policy, the article pointed out.
In fact, the cross-Straits relations have come to a stalemate, owing to the refusal of the leader of the Taiwan authorities to accept the "one-China" principle. And if such stalemate continues to exist, it will be very dangerous, the article said.
Separation of Taiwan from China is against the will of all the Chinese people, as well as the tides of history, the article stressed, noting that the few die-hard separatist elements in leading positions in Taiwan cannot change the overall will of the public.
The chaotic situation in the island gives a clear indicator of the will of the Taiwan public, it said.
Only by admitting the principle of "one-China" can the channels of dialogue and contacts be opened immediately and the confidence of the public be restored and the stalemate be broken, the article concluded.
