Compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Straits understand what Mr. Lee represents and are fully aware of the serious damage he has inflicted on the cross-strait relations.

Anyone who makes an enemy of his own people and compatriots, will certainly reap a bitter harvest.

Relevant departments of the two parties will continue with their communications and launch other exchange activities at a proper time in the future.

The separatist activities didn't win people's hearts. The result of the election has shown that the majority of public opinion in Taiwan is for peace and for developing relations with China.

The three links can never be referred to as being between country and country.

Recently all that Chen has done was aimed at provoking the continent.

The rules will be publicized this month.

We hope the Taiwan authorities deal with the visit in a pragmatic way and facilitate it.
