Department of International Affairs - Democratic Progressive Party
In light of DPP Tainan
Mayor Lai Ching-te (William Lai) comments made in Shanghai, DPP Spokesperson Mr. Huang
Ti-Ying issued a statement in which the party agreed that Lai simply stated
public sentiment and that such viewpoints are mainstream in democratic Taiwan.
While
the DPP advocates substantive engagement with the Chinese to enhance dialogue
and communication, such commitments can only benefit with mutual respect and
understanding.
"We
hope the Chinese can dissolve our differences that arose from past histories. At the same time, the DPP will continue to engage and enthusiastically seek continued bilateral exchanges," Mr. Huang said.
