Local gov't officials hold meeting with BeijingBEIJING -- Eight city and county government leaders of Taiwan held a "breakthrough" meeting with Beijing officials Sunday, urging China to seek ways to "reset and restart" cross-strait ties. He said if cross-strait ties continued to be deadlocked, it will hurt both the government and the people. "Our visit to Beijing is a breakthrough since the new government was launched in May," he added. These eight local government leaders have one thing in common, Zhang said. "They all acknowledge the '1992 Consensus' and support the peaceful development of cross-Taiwan Strait ties and they hope the hard-earned fruit of cross-strait development will be cherished rather than damaged."
