Story summary
  • Taiwan's Premier Cho Jung-tai cautioned Kuomintang chairwoman Cheng Li-wun against discussing government authority during her April 7–12 visit to mainland China.
  • The trip has raised concerns in the DPP and among KMT members about outreach to Beijing, with officials arguing that engagement under the "one China" principle or the "1992 consensus" would not benefit Taiwan.
  • Cho said cross-strait talks must adhere to legal standards and no group may negotiate for the government.
