Barrier to party exchanges

EXCHANGES between the Communist Party of China and Taiwan’s Democratic Progressive Party will be impossible if the latter still advocates Taiwan independence, a mainland official said yesterday.

Ma Xiaoguang, spokesman for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, had been asked if a recent visit to the mainland by the DPP’s Chao Tien-lin would lead to exchanges.

Ma said Chao visited as a member of a delegation of directors and supervisors of Taiwan’s Straits Exchange Foundation “without any relationship to CPC-DPP exchanges.”

The mainland’s Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits and the SEF have resumed exchanges annually since June 2008, and Chao’s recent visit was for this purpose, Ma said.
