(XinhuaLan Hongguang) BEIJING, May 4 (Xinhua) -- Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee Nike Air Max 90 Sale Outlet , called for both sides of the Taiwan Strait to build a community of shared destiny and settle political differences through equal consultations.
Xi made the remarks during a meeting with visiting Kuomintang (KMT) Chairman Eric Chu in Beijing on Monday.
The meeting took place in the Great Hall of the People and is the first between Xi and Chu, bringing broad attention and expectations.
The two sides of the Strait should stick to the path of peaceful development under the 1992 Consensus and oppose "Taiwan independence", Xi said.
Both sides of the Taiwan Strait, as well as the CPC and KMT, should be confident and increase mutual trust to maintain peaceful development of cross-Strait relations and work together to build a community of shared destiny, Xi said, offering five proposals to accomplish the goal.
Chu agreed the two sides of the Strait are both Chinese and belong to a community of shared destiny.
Chu expressed the hope that both sides can work together Nike Air Max 1 Sale Outlet , on the basis of the 1992 Consensus, for regional peace, environmental protection and economic integration, so that the progress of cross-Strait relations will benefit more ordinary people including young people and small businesses.
Yang Yizhou, vice president of the All-China Federation of Taiwan Compatriots, told Xinhua that the meeting came at a critical time when the cross-Strait ties need to be furthered.
ONE CHINA PRINCIPLE
Adhering to the 1992 Consensus and opposing "Taiwan independence" are the political foundation for cross-Strait relations, Xi said Nike Air Max Sale Outlet , describing the 1992 Consensus as a prerequisite for the CPC to engage with Taiwan authorities and political parties.
He called for both sides to be on high alert against statements such as "one country on each side" and "one China, one Taiwan", which will not bring peace or development.
The CPC and KMT should oppose any statements and actions that harm this political foundation and never let them compromise hard-earned peace and development, he said, suggesting the two parties further explore mechanisms to maintain cross-Strait peace.
