Days before a summit with President Bush in Washington, Chinese Communist Party chief Hu Jintao called on Sunday for talks between China and Taiwan as soon as possible to maintain peace in the region.
China and Taiwan should “resume talks on an equal footing as soon as possible,” Hu told Lien Chan, former chairman of Taiwan’s main opposition Nationalist Party, who led a delegation of 170 business leaders to attend a two-day economic and trade forum.
