	1992 Consensus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		On Taiwan, the 1992 Consensus is supported by the parties that make up the pan-Blue coalition which include the Kuomintang and the People's First Party, and was the basis by which the leaders of those parties travelled to mainland China in 2005 for discussions with the Communist Party of China.
		The pan-Green coalition and the ROC government officials reject the very existence of 1992 Consensus and argue that the name is misleading because no consensus was reached over the issue of one China in meetings between PRC and ROC representatives in 1992.
		The 1992 Consensus was invoked again the following year, when Lien Chan and Song Chu-Yu made separate trips to Mainland China to begin party-to-party dialogue between the CCP and KMT and between the CCP and PFP.

	Koo Chen-fu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The following year Koo and Wang held preliminary talks in Hong Kong that resulted in the so-called "1992 Consensus" and facilitated negotiations of practical matters.
		However, the content and the existence of this "1992 consensus" is still widely disputed.
		In 2001, Koo publicly affirmed that the meeting did not result in a consensus on the issue of "one-China." In April 1993, Koo and Wang met in Singapore to hold the first formal discussions between Taipei and Beijing since 1949.

		Earlier, he alleged that there was no consensus on the question of one China reached between the ARATS and SEF in 1992, and if there was a "consensus", then it was "a consensus without consensus".
		In fact, the intention of the new leader of the Taiwan authorities is crystal clear, and that is attempting to replace the "92 consensus" with the "92 spirit", and using the "laying aside disputes" to evade the important contents of the "92 consensus", i.e., accepting the one China principle.
		The consensus reached between the two institutions has gone down in history, it can't be altered by the hypothesis of a handful of people in Taiwan.

		The 1992 meeting in Hong Kong was conducted between representatives from the semi-official Straits Exchange Foundation in Taiwan and its counterpart, the Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Strait (ARATS).
		According to Zhang however, the "1992 consensus" refers to the agreement between the SEF and ARATS to verbally express each party's interpretation of its adherence to the "one China" principle.
		With regard to Zhang's demand that Taiwan admit to the 1992 consensus, former deputy national defense minister and MAC vice chairman Lin Chong-pin told the Taipei Times yesterday that China's reference to the 1992 consensus came too late.

		The consensus reached between the SEF and ARATS that ‘both sides of the Strait insist on one China’ shall be adhered to.
		After rounds of rhetorical wrestling, the SEF and ARATS reached in November 1992 a consensus that “both parties insist upon the ‘one China’ principle and their interpretations of ‘one China’ may be presented separately and orally.” That facilitated the ensuing consultations across the Strait.
		The consensus that “the definition of one China should be subject to different interpretations” reached by the two sides in 1992 is a consensus circumventing the issue of political identity.

		The "1992 Consensus", on the "one-China" principle and its respective verbal wording of both sides, was reached in a meeting in November 1992 held in Hong Kong by the Association for Relations Across Taiwan Straits (ARATS) of the mainland, headed by Wang Daohan, and the Straits Exchange Foundation (SEF) of Taiwan, led by Koo Chen-fu.
		The consensus is that "both sides of the (Taiwan) Straits adhere to the 'one-China' principle" and orally explain the principle respectively.

	'1992 CONSENSUS' CANNOT BE ACCEPTED SINCE IT DOESN'T EXIST: PRESIDENT
		The president has said before that there was no consensus reached during the 1992 Hong Kong talks, only "a spirit of 1992, " or a willingness to talk despite a lack of agreement, which led to the first high-level cross-strait meeting after a hiatus of nearly five decades the following year.
		Chen noted that during a telephone conversation with Lien prior to his departure to China April 25, he told Lien that the "1992 consensus" simply doesn't exist, and that it was a term coined by Su Chi, a former Mainland Affairs Council chairman, in April 2000.
		Koo Chen-fu, the late SEF chairman, also said in a book that no conclusions were reached after the Hong Kong talks, and that Taiwan delegates only mentioned whether it was possible to have different verbal interpretations to allow the shelving of the dispute over the "one China" principle, but China did not agree to this.

		The "1992 consensus" refers to an alleged agreement between negotiators from ARATS and SEF to hold talks under the mutual agreement of the "one China" principle, but with different interpretations of what that meant.
		While the pan-blue camp has claimed that the consensus should serve as the basis for talks between Taiwan and China, the current administration has consistently said that it does not recognize the "1992 consensus," since it was never formally stated or agreed upon.
		Given previous rumors that Soong would seek to redefine the controversial "1992 consensus" in his meeting with Hu, and that he would bring Hu a message from Chen, the first and second points of the communique were the focus of media attention yesterday.

		Ma recalled that the consensus was reached when he was still "vice-minister" of the "Mainland Affairs Committee" under the Taiwan authorities.

	Asia Times Online - News from greater China; Hong Kong and Taiwan
		In 1992 Taiwan and China arranged a meeting in Hong Kong, then a British colony so therefore neutral ground, in which they thrashed out a basis on which the heads of their semi-official representative organizations - Taipei's Straits Exchange Foundation (SEF) and Beijing's Association for Relations across the Taiwan Strait, (ARATS) - could meet.
		As to demands that he return to the 1992 consensus, Chen argued that in fact there never had been a consensus in 1992, a position that Lee Teng-hui supported, directly contradicting what he himself had said during his term as president.
		The 1992 formula is a balanced equation in which China is accepting the minimum it can get while Taiwan is offering as much as it is able.

		"Our attitude is, so long as the one-China principle and the 1992 consensus are recognized, regardless of person or party or what he has said or done in the past, we are willing to discuss the development of cross-Strait relations to push for peaceful reunification," Chen said.
		The consensus led to landmark talks and detente, but Beijing angrily broke off dialogue in 1999 when Taiwan's then-president, Lee Teng-hui, redefined bilateral relations as "special state to state" ties.

		Chen is a lawyer and is careful to say what he means: using the term '1992 consensus' would imply he accepts a version of the 'One China' principle...
		Since then the '1992 consensus' has been interpreted to mean that the two sides had a differing opinion about the legitimate rulers of China, but both agreed that Taiwan was part of China.

		Su made the remarks after Lee denounced what he described as "a monkey kid who tried to fabricate history." Lee, who named Su his last MAC chief, has long denied that there was any "1992 consensus" while he was president from 1988 to 2000.

		The communique says the two parties will promote the fundamentals of the 1992 consensus to pave the way for a resumption of cross-strait negotiations, which have been stalled since mid-1999, when then Taiwan President Lee Teng-hui defined cross-strait ties as a ''special state-to-state relationship,'' wording that infuriated Beijing.
		The 1992 consensus is said to have been reached during an icebreaking meeting in Hong Kong in which the representatives from both sides orally endorsed the ''one-China principle'' but with ''separate interpretations.''

		Beijing interprets the consensus as a mutual commitment to the idea that there is "one China", of which Taiwan is part, and Chinese officials say Mr Chen must accept the 1992 consensus before formal talks between the two sides can resume.
		Mr Liu was quoted as telling the mainland visitors that Taiwan regarded the consensus formula as too abstract, ambiguous and subjective.
