China News Service, February 9th. In response to the Taiwanese leader’s claim in the Spring Festival talks that the key to cross-strait peace lies in the hands of the mainland, Ma Xiaoguang, a spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said in response to a reporter’s question on the 9th that the DPP authorities are trying to hold foreigners’ self-respect Spreading the "two-state theory" to deceive and anaesthetize the people on the island by distorting facts and confuses the public, its nature is once again exposed.

  A reporter asked: During the Spring Festival talks, the leaders of the Taiwan region claimed that the key to cross-strait peace lies in the hands of the mainland. What's your comment?

  Ma Xiaoguang pointed out that from 2008 to 2016 before the DPP authorities came to power, on the common political basis of opposing "Taiwan independence" and adhering to the "92 Consensus", both sides of the strait created a new situation for the peaceful development of cross-strait relations. Share the fruits of a peaceful and stable environment and cooperative development.

The current grim situation in cross-strait relations is entirely caused by the DPP authorities. They refuse to recognize the "92 Consensus" that embodies the one-China principle reached by both sides of the strait, interfere with and obstruct cross-strait exchanges and cooperation, and link up with external forces to continuously seek "independence." Provocations create tension and confrontation in cross-strait relations and seriously damage the vital interests of compatriots on both sides of the strait.

  Ma Xiaoguang said that if the DPP authorities have the slightest sincerity, they should immediately abandon their "Taiwan independence" position, stop seeking "independence" activities, and return to the common political basis of the "92 Consensus."
