00:00Former Legislative Speaker Wang Jinping has met with veteran Chinese official Song Tao in China.
00:07Wang called for the joint pursuit of peace but stopped short of mentioning the Hallmark
00:111992 consensus. That controversial policy has been a central part of Taiwan's main opposition
00:18Kuomintang's relationship with Beijing. It's an agreement that there is only one China,
00:23and Taiwan is part of it, but each side can interpret what that means for itself.
00:29In the meeting, Song Tao said Taiwan independence is incompatible with peace across the strait.
00:35Wang acknowledged shared Chinese roots but hoped unresolved disputes
00:39can be put aside to work towards what he called a common cause.
