News Story: No force can stop cross-Strait reunification - mainland official

BEIJING, Oct. 10 (Xinhua) -- Denying the 1992 Consensus and seeking to cut off cross-Strait ties and incite confrontation will only lead to a dead end, a mainland spokesman has told Taiwan's leadership, adding that no force can stop cross-Strait reunification.

An Fengshan, a spokesman for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, made the remarks in response to Taiwan leader Tsai Ing-wen's speech earlier on Monday.

"The 1992 Consensus and the one-China principle it embodies are in accordance with the juridical logic and reality of cross-Strait relations and the cornerstone that ensures the peaceful development of cross-Strait relations," An said, adding that the "goodwill" of the island's leadership lies in whether or not it accepts the 1992 Consensus.
