Editorial : Icy cross-strait relations
文章日期:2017年5月9日

【明報專訊】ONLINE signing-up for this year's World Health Assembly (WHA) closes today, but Taiwan has not yet received the World Health Organisation's invitation. It is quite unlikely for Taiwan officials to be invited to it. Last week, when President Tsai Ing-wen (who will have been in office for one year on May 20) put forward her "new situation, new exam and new mode" ideas about cross-strait relations, she regarded it as an important indicator whether Taiwan officials would be invited to this year's WHA, saying it would "allow cross-strait relations to be harmed to a certain extent" not to handle this matter satisfactorily. It draws attention how cross-strait relations will trend after May 20. However, whether Tsai brings up the Taiwanese's consensus or boasts of her "exuding goodwill", the hard ice of cross-strait relations can scarcely be broken as long as she avoids the "1992 consensus" question.
