On the bulletin boards of China's popular news website
www. Xinhuanet.com, netizens have left more than 70,000 messages that
overwhelmingly applauded the meeting between Hu and Lien.
"That's a historic handshake. It calls forth the first twilight of peace in
the Taiwan Straits. It's truly a blessing for the Chinese nation," says one of
the messages.
Zhu Weidong, a researcher of the Taiwan issue with the
Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said the meeting reflected "new thinking" of
the two parties and conformed with the wishes of the absolute majority of people
on both sides. "It has injected new vitality in cross-Straits relations" and
will surely guide the atmosphere and direction of the future development of
cross- Straits relations, Zhu added.
"The will of the people shall not be violated," said Zhu. "The train of
reconciliation in cross-Straits relations has started. The Taiwan authorities
should see clearly the situation and conform with the trend."
The KMT party ruled China before 1949. It fled to the island province of
Taiwan after losing a civil war to the CPC. It's now the largest opposition
party in Taiwan.
