Beijing: Hu-Chen meeting should be held on 'own soil'
A Chinese central government spokesman said on Wednesday that any possible meeting between President Hu Jintao and Taiwan leader Chen Shui-bian should be held on "our own soil."
Li reiterated Beijing's clear-cut and consistent position in relation to the dialogue issue with Taiwanese authorities. "As long as the one-China principle and the common understanding reached by the two parties in 1992 are recognized, whoever the person and whichever the party is, regardless of what they have said or done before, we are willing to discuss with them the issues in relation to the development of cross-Strait relation," Li said. New Party delegation "This year is the 60th anniversary of the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. The New Party will organize a delegation to visit the mainland from July 6 to 13 to mark the occasion," said Li. The delegation will visit the cities of Guangzhou, Nanjing, Dalian and Beijing. In Guangzhou, the delegation will pay tribute to the Huanghuagang 72 Martyrs' Tombs, where 72 people killed in an abortive uprising to overthrow the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) were honored. In Nanjing, the delegation will pay tribute to the Mausoleum of Dr. Sun
Yat-sen, forerunner of China's democratic revolution, and visit the Memorial
Hall of the Victims in the Nanjing Massacre conducted by Japanese invading
troops in World War II. In Beijing, the delegation will visit the Memorial Hall
of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and have discussions with
mainland scholars in a symposium. The Taiwan authorities suspended the two news organizations' right to send correspondents to Taiwan to cover local news in late March, with no justifiable reasons. Such practice has come under criticism from media organizations on both sides of the Taiwan Straits, some of which even called it an action of "turning back the clock in cross-Straits exchanges." Labor service cooperation At the press conference, Tang Wei, deputy director of the Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Department of the Ministry of Commerce, suggested that fishery groups across the Taiwan Straits hold talks on improving and regulating fishery labor service cooperation. "Thanks to the efforts of various sides, the time has been generally ripe for
resuming cross-Straits fishery labor service cooperation," he
said.
