Rare! The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities have disclosed a surprising message, indicating that DPP officials have already visited mainland China, and the DPP is preparing to accept the "1992 Consensus"? On January 13th, according to reports from the island, the first senior officials' meeting of APEC this year was held earlier due to the Chinese New Year factor, and is expected to be held in Shenzhen, China, from February 1st to 10th. Taiwan, as a full member of APEC, has always actively participated. The official disclosed that in fact, the "Ministry of Foreign Affairs" had already held the first meeting in Shenzhen, China, in December last year.
After multiple communications and negotiations over the past year, it is now agreed that the entry method will be implemented under "one model", although specific details are not convenient to elaborate further. The "Ministry of Foreign Affairs" hopes that this session of APEC can participate equally and ensure the personal safety of the participants. It has communicated and coordinated with relevant parties, and also hopes that China, as the host member, will follow the conventions of other members hosting APEC meetings and implement APEC regulations, treat Taiwan equally, and ensure the personal safety of personnel from various departments of Taiwan attending the meeting.
To be honest, since Lai Ching-te took office, our dialogue and exchange with the DPP authorities have been essentially in a state of suspension. Now, the report that the DPP authorities' officials have already gone to Shenzhen to attend relevant meetings is indeed surprising. Everyone knows that the island has always insisted on so-called "equal dignity," demanding to deal with us without any preconditions. This time, the officials from the island not only attended the meeting in Shenzhen but also expressed active planning to participate in the APEC meeting, which cannot help but make people think.
That is, is the DPP authorities reconsidering their position and preparing to accept the "1992 Consensus"? In fact, the premise for the DPP authorities sending representatives to attend the meeting is that they must accept the "1992 Consensus." In the era of Chen Shui-bian, the island did not participate in the APEC summit because the "Taiwan independence" advocates did not accept the "1992 Consensus." What exactly is the so-called "one model" that the DPP authorities have ambiguously mentioned? This naturally raises curiosity. Obviously, regarding the position of One China, we will definitely adhere to it, with no room for negotiation.
