STATE DEPARTMENT REGULAR NEWS BRIEFING
FEBRUARY 28, 2006
SPEAKER: J. ADAM ERELI, STATE DEPARTMENT DEPUTY SPOKESMAN
[*] ERELI: Hello, everybody. I'd be happy to start with your questions.
QUESTION: Adam, today the Taiwan authorities actually made official, I guess, their abolition of this body providing guidelines for reunification. The Chinese are being very bellicose about this. Does the United States really think that this is business as usual?
ERELI: All of that's news to me. As far as we're aware, where we were yesterday is where we are today, which is that the Taiwanese have made it clear that this body is not being abolished, that they have reaffirmed their commitment not to take unilateral steps to alter the status quo, and to honor the inaugural pledges.
