What does the KMT claim?

Recently there has been a lot of debate on the existence or non-existence of the so-called ¡§1992 consensus.¡¨ This states that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) agreed that there is ¡§one China,¡¨ but that they held different interpretations of its meaning. While it is quite obvious what the CCP¡¦s interpretation of ¡§one China¡¨ is, I can find no clear interpretation from the KMT. Is its interpretation ¡§one China, one Taiwan¡¨? Does its ¡§one China¡¨ include Taiwan, Tibet and the various other islands that the CCP currently claims? Without clarification of what the KMT¡¦s interpretation is, the argument of the existence or non-existence of the consensus seems meaningless.
