2015年CRI Xi-Ma Meeting Hailed by Taiwan and Overseas Media, Experts

 

Fang¹ Nien-hua, a news anchor for TVBS Taiwan, says the meeting has delivered an important message to the people across the Taiwan Straits.

"Both President Xi and Mr. Ma Ying-jeou delivered a message at the beginning of their statement that people across the Taiwan Straits share the same history of China, which is an intangible basis when we seek common points while reserving differences." 

The meeting has also received wide international coverage² from many foreign media outlets³.

Akira Takeda, a reporter from Tokyo Broadcasting System Television (TBS), was impressed as he witnessed the historic handshake.

"President Xi and Mr. Ma Ying-jeou talked with each other directly. With smiles on their faces, they shook hands, waved to reporters and then walked off to have the meeting. I felt it was very deep." 

Zheng Yongnian, the director of the East Asian Institute of the National University of Singapore, says a firm adherence⁴ to the 1992 Consensus⁵ based on the one China principle is the premise⁶ on which to promote relations between the two sides across the Taiwan Strait. 

"Both President Xi and Mr. Ma Ying-jeou have been aware of the fact that the 1992 Consensus is the political basis for the peaceful and stable development of the two sides. Therefore, in my opinion, the development on the basis of the 1992 Consensus indicates a clear direction for the next phase." 

Zheng also says that the meeting is a milestone⁷ moment on the road to the great rejuvenation⁸ of the Chinese nation. The two leaders both emphasized the Chinese rejuvenation.

He says the landmark⁹ meeting will undoubtedly¹⁰ instill more confidence in a bright future of cross-Straits relations for compatriots on both sides, and prove to the international community that Chinese people across the Straits are fully¹¹ capable of solving their own issues and jointly¹² contributing to regional and global peace, stability and development.
