Visiting delegates from eight Taiwan cities and counties are appreciated for their efforts to uphold the 1992 Consensus promoting cross-Straits communication and boosting the peaceful development of relations with the Chinese mainland, China's top political adviser said in Beijing on Sunday.
The delegates were from New Taipei City and the counties of Hsinchu, Miaoli, Nantou, Hualien, Taitung, Kinmen and Lienchiang.
Yu Zhengsheng, chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference National Committee, made the remark as he met with delegates and extended a welcome.
He applauded their adherence to the one-China principle and efforts to promote cross-Straits cooperation and exchange at lower administrative levels.
He said Taiwan's current administration has refused, since May, to recognize the agreement affirming that both sides of the Straits belong to one China. That refusal has shaken the political foundation of peaceful development of cross-Straits relations and dealt a heavy blow to the momentum of peaceful ties that had been achieved through eight years of effort, Yu said.
The mainland will maintain a positive attitude toward any county or city in Taiwan that is willing to make a contribution to good relations, Yu said.
Ma Xiaoguang, spokesman for the State Council's Taiwan Affairs Office, said on Sunday that measures will be taken in fields including agriculture and tourism to promote communication between the mainland and Taiwan cities and counties.
The delegates from the island expressed their hope for further cross-Straits communication on the basis of the 1992 Consensus to achieve win-win outcomes.
