Taiwan’s New President Ma Ying-jeou

 

Taiwan’s new president Ma Ying-jeou took the oath of office on May 20, 2008.  In his inauguration address, Ma called for cross-strait negotiation based on the “1992 consensus” and emphasized his campaign pledge to strengthen ties with China.  Per KMT, the “1992 consensus” describes the notion that both sides concede separate interpretation of the “one China” policy.   That means, from China’s point of view , that there is only one China “People’s Republic of China’ (PRC) in the world;  while allow Taiwan to keep using “Republic of China” (ROC) as nation’s name  The fact is that there is no such consensus being reached during the meeting between the representatives from Taiwan and China way back in 1992.  However, KMT and Ma Ying-jeou kept mentioning it in many occasions.  In his speech, Ma urged Beijing to seize the historic opportunity to jointly open a new page of peace and prosperity.  Ma suggested maintaining the status quo in the Taiwan Strait under the framework of the ROC constitution and the principle of “no unification, no independence and no use of force”.  Ma opposed Chen Administration’s move to de factor independence.  His new policy will represent a clear break from the eight-year administration of Chen Shui-bian. The State Department spokesman Sean McMormack said in a statement “We congratulate Ma Ying-jeou on his inauguration.  We look forward to working with Taiwan’s new leaders and maintaining the vibrancy of our economic and people-to-people relationship. We welcome initiatives to reduce tension in the Taiwan Strait”.
