Independence party sues New Party for treason

By Joyce Huang
STAFF REPORTER

The Taiwan Independence Party filed a criminal lawsuit against the New Party on a charge of treason yesterday.

Party Chairman William Huang (¶À¥Éª¢) yesterday accused the New Party's delegation, led by senior party members including Hsu Li-nung (³\¾ú¹A), Yok Mu-ming (­§¼}©ú), Wang Chien-shien (¤ý«ØÒj) and its party convener Hsieh Chi-ta (Á±Ҥj) of conducting party-to-party negotiations and reaching a seven-point consensus with high-ranking Chinese officials during a four-day visit in China from July 10 to July 13, without the government's authorization.

"They have committed offenses against the external security of the state and obviously intend to sell out our national interests," Huang was quoted as saying in a written press statement released yesterday.

On July 12, The delegation, joined by Secretary-General Lee Bin-nan (§õ¬±«n), Alex Fai (¶OÂE®õ) and Kao Shin-wu (°ª·sªZ) also met with Chinese Vice Premier Qian Qichen (¿ú¨äµ`), who repeated Beijing's "one-two-three insistences" namely adherence to the "one China" principle, two-side [cross-strait] negotiations and opening of the the three direct [trade, communication and transport] links. Both agreed to establish a dialogue mechanism to further exchange views on cross-strait relations in the future.

Opposing the New Party's close connections with Beijing, party spokesman Tsai Ting-lin (½²¥ÅÀM) yesterday added that the party's legal action against the New Party would help clarify that China and Taiwan are two separate nations.

"If the court decides to take the case and enter a verdict, the so-called `special state-to-state relationship' between China and Taiwan would, therefore, be legalized and consolidate Taiwan's national identity," Tsai said.

He added that, were the case accepted, Taiwanese courts would have to recognize the fact that China is a foreign country and that Taiwan is not a part of China. Otherwise, other political parties and individuals would act like the New Party and sell out Taiwan by conducting private talks with China, he said.
