Hu reiterates opposition to ``Taiwan independence''
Hu Jintao, general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, on Thursday reiterated the opposition to ``Taiwan independence'' and the recognition of the ``1992 consensus.''
Recent calls urging Washington to ``abandon'' Taiwan to China are not a mainstream view and there is no need for the US to change its long-term policy of having good relations with China and Taiwan, a former senior US official said in Taipei yesterday.
