Taiwan Solidarity Union (TSU) Chairman
Huang Kun-huei (¶À©ø½÷) yesterday filed a lawsuit against three government
officials in charge of cross-strait affairs, accusing them of forging official
documents about the controversial so-called ¡§1992 consensus.¡¨
Huang filed the lawsuit at the Taiwan High Prosecutors¡¦ Office against Straits
Exchange -Foundation (SEF) Chairman Chiang Pin-kung (¦¿¤þ©[), SEF Vice Chairman Kao
Koong-lian (°ª¤Õ·G) and Mainland Affairs Council Chairperson Lai Shin-yuan (¿à©¯´D).
The TSU chairman, who said the consensus never existed, accused the three
officials of sending a ¡§forged¡¨ letter on May 26, 2008, to China¡¦s Association
for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits (ARATS) to express Taiwan¡¦s wish to
¡§resume cross-strait negotiations on the basis of the 1992 consensus¡¨ despite
knowing that the consensus did not exist.
Kao¡¦s display of the letter at a press conference on Aug. 24 as evidence of the
consensus was ¡§shocking,¡¨ Huang said, because he did not realize until then that
the ¡§1992 consensus¡¨ had been placed on official documentation in 2008.
ARATS went on to collaborate with the SEF and the MAC by putting the ¡§1992
consensus¡¨ in its reply to make the invented consensus a reality, he said.
The lawsuit was the second complaint Huang has filed in the past two weeks. On
Oct. 27, he filed a lawsuit against President Ma Ying-jeou (°¨^¤E) and former MAC
chairman Su Chi (Ĭ°_), accusing the two of treason for conspiring with China to
create the ¡§1992 consensus.¡¨
