Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Editorial: Tsai should prove sincerity about peace across Taiwan
Straits
Updated: 2016-01-16 20:24. No sooner than the election result was announced,
this editorial was posted by China Daily. Though its editorial policies seems
slightly more liberal than most Chinese language newspapers, the media is often
used as a guide to the government’s or party’s policy of China, just like state
run media. This “official message” is harshly and clearly re-clarified China’s
position to Taiwan, aimed directly to the newly elected leader of Taiwan as
well as to the world communities.
It writes, “Many differences remain between the mainland and Taiwan, … under
no circumstance should the differences be used as excuses to seek Taiwan
independence, which means war.”
Now a ball has been thrown across the strait. It’s the newly-elected
president turn to clarify her position and reaction.
Which side is more open and friendly to the other remains to be seen.
Enjoy reading and thinking what the 1992 Consensus is and means to
Taiwan.
