　　China News Service, Beijing, February 23 (Reporter Zheng Qiao) Ma Xiaoguang, spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, reiterated in Beijing on the 23rd that adhering to the "1992 Consensus" and opposing "Taiwan independence" are still the basis for exchanges, cooperation and dialogue between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.

　　At the regular press conference of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held on the same day, a Taiwanese reporter asked that some mainland media recently named two representatives of the Chinese Kuomintang public opinion as "secret independence", and pointed out that the Kuomintang diehards should find their way back.

Does it represent the mainland's official attitude towards the Kuomintang?

　　When answering a question, Ma Xiaoguang said that General Secretary Xi Jinping congratulated Zhu Lilun on his election as chairman of the Chinese Kuomintang, pointing out that the two parties have had positive interactions in the past period on the basis of adhering to the "1992 Consensus" and opposing "Taiwan independence", promoting the peaceful development of cross-strait relations and benefiting compatriots on both sides of the strait. , the effect is obvious to all.

Adhering to the "1992 Consensus" and opposing "Taiwan independence" are still the basis for exchanges, cooperation and dialogue between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.

　　When answering relevant questions, Ma Xiaoguang also pointed out that although the two sides of the Taiwan Strait have not been fully unified, China's sovereignty and territory have never been divided, and the fact that the mainland and Taiwan belong to the same China has never changed.

Regarding the long-standing political differences between the two sides of the strait, compatriots on both sides of the strait should, on the basis of the one-China principle, gather wisdom through dialogue and communication, gather common ground and resolve differences, and seek solutions.

　　Ma Xiaoguang emphasized that the DPP authorities colluded with external forces to seek "independence" and provocation is the root cause of the tension and turmoil in cross-strait relations and the destruction of peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.

It is hoped that responsible political parties and people on the island will work with us to oppose and contain "Taiwan independence", eradicate the root cause of "Taiwan independence", promote the peaceful development of cross-strait relations, maintain peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait, consolidate the foundation for peaceful reunification, and safeguard the fundamental interests of the Chinese nation.
