Tsai rejects deadline for accepting '92 Consensus'Claims that President Tsai Ing-wen rejected the "1992 Consensus" in an interview with the Washington Post were refuted by the Presidential Office Friday, which stressed that Tsai was only responding to the question at hand. First-ever Official Refusal: Chinese MediaTsai's response was interpreted by Chinese state-media Global Times as the first time she had officially refused to accept the "1992 Consensus." Tsai's seperatist Democratic Progressive Party has never accepted the "1992 Consensus." Only through accepting the "1992 Consensus" and agreeing that both sides of the Taiwan Strait belong to "one China" will the continuation of peaceful cross-strait relations be guaranteed, Ma said. In response, Tsai said, "it isn't likely that the government of Taiwan will accept a deadline for conditions that are against the will of the people."
