Mainland's Taiwan affairs spokesman reiterates one-China principle

BEIJING, Oct. 6 -- The Chinese mainland and Taiwan belong to the same China and the mainland's will to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity remains rock-solid, a mainland spokesman said Thursday.

Adhering to the 1992 Consensus that stresses the one-China principle, is unshakable, said An Fengshan, spokesman for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, commenting on Taiwan leader Tsai Ing-wen's latest remarks made in an interview with the Wall Street Journal.

"Our position is steadfast on opposing any 'Taiwan-independence' activities. Any forces and any people do not underestimate the resolution of more than 1.3 billion people on the mainland," An said.
