Yu praised the New Party's unbroken stance upholding the 1992 Consensus, which embodies the one-China principle, since the party's establishment, as well as its peaceful approach to relations. Yok Mu-ming, chairman of the New Party and head of the Taiwan delegation, said the party has firmly upheld the one-China principle and promoted peace. Zhang and Yok agreed that the one-China principle must be upheld going forward, expressed firm opposition to separatist activities and vowed to make efforts toward peaceful relations. Some people advocating "Taiwan independence" have pushed for amending the law, and have proposed changing the island's constitution. "This shows that separatist activities and the group supporting 'independence' pose the most serious threat to the peaceful development of cross-Straits relations," Zhang said.
