Hsieh's proposal ; China and Taiwan have their own constitutions respectively and define the cross-strait relation in their own ways . The D.P.P. chairman Su Tseng-Chang responded that , Hsieh's visit is personal and he does not represent the D.P.P. So , it is only personal in nature .
Hsieh's China visit is as a tourist from Taiwan , neither a member of D.P.P. nor a former Premier and senior member of D.P.P.
When Hsieh met Wang Yi, head of China's Taiwan affairs on Oct. 6, he suggested the China support his 'constitutional consensus' because it is impossible for the Democratic Progressive Party to accept the '1992 consensus' which is considered a tacit agreement between the Communist Party of China and the Kuomintang. Hsieh stated that his "constitutional consensus" is an "overlapping consensus" between Taiwan's ruling and opposition parties regarding democracy, freedom, human rights, social welfare and constitutional institutions. By stressing that the "spirit of 1992 dialogue" is "constitutional consensus,"
Hsieh pointed out that the only difference between those two agendas lies in the name. Suggesting a cooperation between those who advocate Taiwan independence and those who call for maintaining the status quo, Hsieh stated that it is the only way to form a stabilizing social consensus in Taiwan.
During his meeting with Dai Bingguo, a close associate to president Hu Jintao, on Oct. 7, Hsieh also suggested the Chinese government give Taiwan more space on the international scene. Since Taiwan is constantly blocked by China in the international arena for attending major international activities, Hsieh stated that Beijing should not oppose Taiwan's participation in key international non-government organizations.
As the secretary-general of the Central Leading Group for Taiwan Affairs under the Communist Party of China, Dai is the highest ranking Chinese official Hsieh met during his four-day visit to China. Issues regarding democracy and public opinion were also discussed by Dai and Hsieh during their meeting. "Given our different developmental experiences, we only exchanged views," said Hsieh when interviewed by the Central News Agency.
