President William Lai (賴清德) yesterday said that it would be impossible to achieve cross-strait peace simply by accepting the so-called “1992 consensus” and Beijing’s “one China” principle.

Lai made the remarks at the opening ceremony of the Overseas Community Affairs Council Conference in Taipei after former Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) lawmaker Cheng Li-wun (鄭麗文), who favors closer ties with Beijing, was elected as KMT chairwoman on Saturday.
