At the end of 1987, after the isolation between the two sides of the strait was broken for more than 30 years, personnel exchanges and economic and cultural exchanges between the two sides of the strait developed, and at the same time, various problems arose. In order to solve these problems, Taiwan Province Province had to adjust the "three noes" policy of "no contact, no compromise and no negotiation". On June 5438+0990+065438+1October 2/KLOC-0, an officially authorized non-governmental intermediary institution, the Cross-Strait Exchange Foundation was established to deal with the government's "inconvenience". In order to facilitate contact and discussion with SEF, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the Central Committee and the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council promoted the establishment of the Association for Relations across the Taiwan Strait on June 5, 2006+099165438+February 616, and authorized the adherence to the one-China principle as the basis for exchanges and discussions between the two associations.
1992 10 During the talks from 28th to 30th, NPC and CPPCC discussed how to express their adherence to the one-China principle in the cross-strait transactional talks. The basic attitude of ARATS is that specific issues in cross-strait exchanges are China's internal affairs and should be resolved through consultation on the basis of the one-China principle. In business negotiations, as long as we show our basic attitude of adhering to the one-China principle, we can avoid the political meaning of the one-China, and the expression can be fully negotiated.
1992 1 1 The understanding that "both sides of the Taiwan Straits adhere to the one-China principle" was reached orally by the Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits and the SEF of Taiwan Province Province on how to show their attitude of adhering to the one-China principle in the business talks between the two associations.
During the talks in Hong Kong, ARATS put forward five written opinions, and SEF of Taiwan Province Province also put forward five written opinions according to the conclusion of the National Unification Council. Although Taiwan Province also agrees that the use of notarial certificates between the two sides of the strait is an internal affair of China, and both sides should adhere to the one-China principle and express their desire for national reunification, it is difficult for the two associations to reach an agreement on a written expression plan. At the end of the talks, SEF representatives added three more expressions and reached the final expression: "In the process of seeking national reunification, both sides of the Taiwan Strait adhere to the principle of one China, but they have different understandings of the meaning of one China. However, in view of the increasingly frequent cross-strait non-governmental exchanges, in order to protect the rights and interests of people on both sides of the strait, the issue of document verification should be properly resolved. " It is also suggested that "the one-China principle should be expressed by their respective oral statements". The representative of ARATS said that this is the main achievement of the talks and will give a formal reply after SEF's suggestions and specific expressions are reported.
The term "92 * * * Understanding" was formally put forward by Su Qi, former head of mainland affairs department of Taiwan Province authorities, at the end of April 2000. But this is not a fabrication. 1992, there was indeed an understanding between the two sides of the strait. But its birth is of great historical significance, because it is the first political compromise reached by the two sides after numerous armed conflicts and ideological struggles since 1949; Besides, the topic it involves is the most intractable "One China" issue between the two sides.
