[Reporter Chen Yufu/Taipei Report] President Tsai Ing-wen proposed that the "Republic of China and the People's Republic of China" should not be subordinate to each other on the National Day last year. Former President Ma Ying-jeou called this an "unnecessary provocation" yesterday and even "violated the Constitution of the Republic of China". We should "avoid war" and "seek peace." If President Tsai does not accept the "1992 Consensus," he is obliged to propose a "common political foundation" acceptable to both sides of the strait as an alternative.

MAC spokesman Qiu Chuizheng emphasized today (29) that the Republic of China is a sovereign and independent country, and he has searched through all the provisions of the Constitution of the Republic of China, and cannot find any stipulation that the Republic of China is subordinate to any other country in the world.

Qiu Chuizheng pointed out that President Tsai's proposal that the Republic of China and the People's Republic of China are not subordinate to each other reflects the objective reality of the two sides of the strait. The poll also shows that nearly 80% of the people believe that non-subordination is the objective status quo of the Taiwan Strait, and they reject the CCP's annexation of Taiwan and China. The sovereignty of the Republic of China, Taiwan's public opinion has long firmly rejected the "1992 Consensus on the One China Principle" and "One Country, Two Systems" defined by the CCP authorities.
