SUBJECT: 10/29 TAO PRESS BRIEFING: CHEN YUNLIN VISIT, ZHANG MINGQING 
INCIDENT 
 
Summary 
------- 
 
1. Key points from the October 29 Taiwan Affairs Office (TAO) press 
briefing: 
 
-- The Spokesman said that during Association for Relations Across 
the Taiwan Strait (ARATS) President Chen Yunlin's November 3-7 trip 
to Taiwan the two sides will implement agreements on maritime 
shipping, cargo charter flights, daily charter flights, a new direct 
air corridor, direct mail, and food safety. 
 
-- The spokesperson did not comment specifically on Chen's 
itinerary, saying instead that many details are being worked out. 
He stated that "because of a tight schedule" Chen will not travel to 
central or southern Taiwan. 
 
-- The spokesperson expressed confidence that Chen's visit would be 
"safe and smooth" and that security preparations on the Taiwan side 
are adequate. 
 
-- The spokesperson said that ARATS Deputy Zhang Mingqing is "under 
observation and treatment" after being attacked by "a small number 
of extremists" in Tainan on October 21.  He said that "most people 
in Taiwan" had condemned the assault, which demonstrates that the 
assailants do not represent the Taiwan people. 
 
Chen Yunlin's Visit to Taiwan 
----------------------------- 
 
2. At the regular Taiwan Affairs Office (TAO) press briefing October 
29, most of the questions related to ARATS President Chen Yunlin's 
November 3-7 visit to Taiwan.  Spokesman Yang Yi noted that the main 
purpose of the trip is to implement agreements on maritime shipping, 
cargo charter flights, daily charter flights, a new direct air 
corridor, direct mail, and food safety.  This series of agreements 
will benefit people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait by 
strengthening economic cooperation, reducing costs and increasing 
convenience for cross-Strait shippers and travelers.  Yang noted 
that Chen will lead a delegation of 60 people, to include experts to 
discuss the international financial crisis.  Yang did not answer 
specific questions about Chen's itinerary, exchanges of gifts, 
meetings with Taiwan leaders or whether Chen will hold a press 
conference.  Asked about the issue of flags and titles used by 
Taiwan leaders, Yang said that the two sides have worked out 
"mutually acceptable" arrangements on the matter. 
 
3.  Responding to questions on whether ARATS and its counterpart in 
Taiwan, the Straits Exchange Foundation (SEF), will discuss 
political issues and whether there is a timetable for a "peace 
agreement," Yang said that China will follow the principles of 
"first easy, then hard, first economics, then politics, and progress 
step by step" to resolve cross-Strait issues.  As for political 
issues and problems "left over from history," the PRC hopes that 
"through joint efforts the two sides can create the conditions to 
gradually resolve the issues through consultations."  China has a 
very positive attitude toward this, Yang said.  The two sides should 
decide through consultations when political talks should start. 
 
Security for the Visit 
---------------------- 
 
4. A Taiwan reporter asked if the 7,000 police assigned to the visit 
will be sufficient for Chen's personal security and whether he would 
bring his own bodyguards.  The spokesman expressed his hope that the 
trip will be "safe and smooth" and said that security arrangements 
will be consistent with those established when SEF Chairman P.K. 
Chiang visited the Mainland.  When asked how the Mainland would 
react if Chen encountered a violent incident, he reiterated the 
"safe and smooth" point. 
 
Zhang Mingqing Incident 
----------------------- 
 
5. The spokesman commented that ARATS Deputy Zhang Mingqing is still 
"undergoing evaluation and treatment" following the "violent attack" 
in Tainan on October 21 by a "small number of extremists."  China 
"sharply condemns" this incident and calls on Taiwan to punish the 
perpetrators and protect regular exchanges across the Taiwan Strait. 
 Yang commented that "most people in Taiwan have condemned the 
incident," which shows that the attackers do not represent the 
Taiwan people.  In response to a Taiwan reporter's question about 
the TAO's reaction to allegations that Mainland-linked mobsters had 
kidnapped and threatened Tainan DPP councilman Wang Ting-yu, who had 
been involved in the assault on Zhang, the TAO spokesman angrily 
denounced the story as "a lie that is inconsistent and full of 
holes." 
 
APEC 
---- 
 
6.  Asked about the selection of former Foreign Minister and former 
 
BEIJING 00004089  002 OF 002 
 
 
Control Yuan President Frederick Chien to represent Taiwan at the 
APEC summit in Peru in late November, the spokesman said he had 
nothing to release on the topic.  He said that in reacting to this 
development, the PRC would "follow the precedent of previous APEC 
summits while taking into consideration positive changes in 
cross-Strait relations." 
 
Other Issues 
------------ 
 
7. Other issues discussed: 
 
--Kaohsiung Mayor: Asked about whether Kaohsiung Mayor and DPP 
member Chen Chu would be welcome to visit the Mainland to promote 
tourism, Yang said China welcomes exchanges that are conducive to 
promoting cross-Strait relations. 
 
--Pandas: Yang commented that the two sides are making "active 
preparations" for the pandas "Tuan Tuan" and "Yuan Yuan" to move to 
Taipei. 
 
--Trade Cooperation: The spokesman said the fourth Hunan-Taiwan 
Economic and Trade Exchange Cooperation Convention, from November 
15-17 in Xiangtan City, will introduce many investment opportunities 
in Hunan Province.
