A Chinese mainland official urged Taiwan to adhere to the one-China principle and accept the 1992 Consensus, in response to a recent interview by overseas media of the island's new leader.
Ma Xiaoguang, spokesman for the State Council's Taiwan Affairs Office, said on Friday that the 1992 Consensus is the political foundation for peaceful cross-Straits ties.
The remarks followed the publication of an interview with Taiwan's leader Tsai Ing-wen in The Washington Post on Thursday.
