Beijing urged to acknowledge ROC's existence

Taipei, July 31 (CNA) Premier Wu Den-yih urged Beijing Saturday to acknowledge the existence of the Republic of China to allow for the peaceful development of cross-Taiwan Strait relations.
Wu rejected a proposal put forward a day earlier by China's Ministry of Defense that issues concerning the removal of missiles targeting Taiwan can be discussed under the "one China" precondition.
"We cannot agree to that, " Wu told reporters during a trip to Taichung County.
According to the premier, any such issues should be discussed under the principles of "no unification, no independence, no use of force" and China's acceptance of ROC sovereignty.
Also commenting on the issue, opposition Democratic Progressive Party Chairwoman Tsai Ing-wen said she could not feel any goodwill from Beijing in its latest overture because "the `one China' principle is unacceptable to most people in Taiwan."
Tsai also said that any offer China might make to remove the missiles would be "of little significance, " pointing out that the missiles in question are highly mobile and could simply be redeployed very quickly at any time. (By Sophia Yeh and Y.F. Low) ENDITEM/J
