Mainland adhering to 'one-China' policy in dealings with Taiwan, Li says

Premier Li Keqiang said on Thursday that the Chinese mainland's policy regarding Taiwan has been consistent and clear-cut, adhering to the 1992 Consensus that embodies the "one-China" principle.
"Under this premise, we welcome any political party or group in Taiwan to communicate with us and conduct dialogue on cross-Straits relations and the future of the nation," Li said while meeting the media on Thursday after the closing of the fourth session of the 13th National People's Congress.
The mainland is committed to promoting peaceful development across the Taiwan Straits and national reunification and opposes any form of separatist activities aimed at "Taiwan independence" and foreign interference in cross-Straits affairs, he said.
"We believe that the two sides of the Straits are one and the same family. Over the years, we have introduced a number of policies benefiting Taiwan businesses and compatriots," Li said.
The mainland will continue to enable Taiwan residents to enjoy the development opportunities on mainland and promote integrated development across the Straits, he added.
