	Press Release -- Mainland Affairs Council -- July 12, 1999
		At the dawn of the 21st century, relations between the two sides should be clearly defined based on objective political and legal reality, so that the two sides will be able to avoid disputes over the meaning of "one China," thereby opening a new page for interactions between them under an innovative concept.
		Based on the foundation and the channels already established, and through constructive dialogue, institutionalized consultations, and orderly exchanges, we are willing to develop a framework for a peaceful, stable and long-term relationship that will enable both sides of the Strait and the region to benefit on reciprocal terms.
		We would like to call on the mainland authorities to face the cross-strait reality that has existed for many years and pragmatically work with us to usher in a new era of beneficial interaction between the two sides in the 21st century.

		According to MAC analysis, when Beijing’s formula of “one country, two system” for resolving cross-strait issues is clearly spelled out (that Taiwan is a local government, subject to the rule of the Beijing government, and the ROC government no longer exists), 70-74% of the people reject this.

		He reiterated that the suspension was temporary and that it was motivated by the council's overall assessment of journalistic interactions across the Taiwan Strait.

	Press Release -- Mainland Affairs Council -- July 12, 1999
		Since the revision of the constitution in 1991, the president, the vice president, and the people's representatives at all levels of government in the Republic of China have been directly elected by the people, and the legitimate right to govern the state has thus been derived only from the people of the Taiwan area.
		Therefore, it is an indisputable political and historical fact that the ROC and the PRC are separate governments ruling, respectively, the Taiwan area and the mainland area.
		We would like to call on the mainland authorities to face the cross-strait reality that has existed for many years and pragmatically work with us to usher in a new era of beneficial interaction between the two sides in the 21st century.

	AsiaMedia :: TAIWAN: Mainland Affairs Council blasts China over reporting curbs
		The Mainland Affairs Council (MAC) yesterday denounced China for its new restrictions on the spread of information by foreign news agencies, saying the new curbs were an "outrageous" setback against the prevailing global trend of protecting press freedom.
		The council fired the broadside a day after China's official Xinhua news agency issued a new set of strict measures to regulate the release of news and information in China by foreign news agencies and the subscription of such news and information by users in China.
		Noting that China's suppression of press freedoms and expression was mainly aimed at maintaining internal stability, the council said China's ever more stringent control of news coverage and dissemination of information evidently reflected its deep-rooted fears that the free flow of information may have a detrimental impact on China's social order and the communist regime.

		Lin Chong-pin, vice chairman of the cabinet-level Mainland Affairs Council, the highest government agency charting Taiwan's policy toward the mainland, however, pointed out that he does not think the passage of the mainland Chinese naval vessel through the strait has anything to do with Taiwan's presidential election scheduled for March 18.
