Taiwan's ruling party condemns historic meeting

Taiwan’s ruling party today criticised a history-making trip to Beijing by opposition Nationalist Party leaders, saying the visit plays into the hands of the communist mainland in its efforts to divide the Taiwanese people.

“The Nationalists are neglecting the people’s interest for the sake of one party’s interest,” Lai Ching-te, a senior member of the Democratic Progressive Party, said in Taiwan’s capital, Taipei.
