A nation can not exist two representatives of the government of this country. The so-called "one country, two governments", the essence of "two Chinas", "one China, one Taiwan" is toward the division, not unification. We stand by the Communist Party of China and the Chinese Kuomintang bipartisan talks
Jiang Zemin. This is a departure from the reality of the situation of the two parties and the current status of the role, but also in order to avoid Taiwan feel inconvenient. At the same time, we also always attaches importance to the role of the two sides of the other parties, groups and people from all walks of life to achieve the reunification of the motherland. Bipartisan talks with various parties, organizations demonstrate their motion to discuss state; discussing informed in a timely manner, to exchange views; can absorb even participating in the talks on behalf of the other parties, groups representative people.
