The «1992 Consensus» is a term coined after the 1992 meeting between the representatives of Mainland China and Taiwan, which implies recognition of the unity and principle of «one China». At the same time, each side interprets the concept of «one China» in its own way.The White House explained Biden's words about the use of force to defend Taiwan «The facts of the development of relations between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait have repeatedly proved that only by adhering to the «Consensus of 1992″ and opposing the independence of Taiwan, it is possible to ensure the peaceful and sustainable development of relations between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, benefit compatriots on both sides of the Strait, and guarantee peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait,» Ma Xiaoguang said. damage.» «We hope that the majority of Taiwanese compatriots will realize the importance of the 1992 Consensus, appreciate and uphold it, and oppose and oppose the actions of the pro-Taiwan independence separatist forces,» and return cross-strait relations to the right track «, he pointed out.
China expressed gratitude to Putin for supporting the PRC on the issue of Taiwan. He recalled that on November 7, 2015, a historic meeting was held between Chinese President Xi Jinping and then Taiwan's chief of staff Ma Ying-jeou, at which commitment to the «1992 Consensus» was confirmed. However, in 2016, after the Democratic Progressive Party came to power in Taiwan, Taipei refused to recognize the «1992 Consensus» and intensified separatist activities to achieve independence for the island, «which seriously affected the peaceful development of relations between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.» Previously, Ma Xiaoguang explained that the 1992 Consensus reached by the Mainland-based Taiwan Cross-Strait Association and the Taipei Cross-Taiwan Exchange Foundation, whose representatives verbally acknowledged that «the two sides of the Taiwan Strait belong to one China.» According to him, both sides made clear in their speeches the adherence to the principle of «one China» and the desire to reunite the two coasts. Official relations between the central government of the PRC and its island province were interrupted in 1949 after the defeated forces in the civil war with the Chinese Communist Party The Kuomintang led by Chiang Kai-shek moved to Taiwan. Business and informal contacts between the island and mainland China resumed in the late 1980s. Since the early 1990s, the parties began to contact through non-governmental organizations — the Beijing Association for the Development of Relations between the Two Shores of the Taiwan Strait and the Taipei Cross-Strait Exchange Fund. The situation around Taiwan escalated after the visit of US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to the island in early August. China, which considers the island one of its provinces, condemned the visit, seeing the move as US support for Taiwanese separatism, and held large-scale military exercises.
