SHANGHAI, Feb. 14 (Xinhua) -- Cross-Strait affairs chiefs from the Chinese mainland and Taiwan enjoyed a chat over tea on Thursday evening at the Peace Hotel in Shanghai, carrying on the legacy of another historic meeting in the same place in 1998.
Zhang Zhijun

The 1998 meeting was the second between Wang and Koo, following their groundbreaking one in Singapore in April 1993, which marked the beginning of cross-Strait engagement and laid the foundation for further improvement of ties.
Unfortunately, after 1998

It was not until 2008 that the heads of ARATS and SEF met again, in Beijing. Since then, nine rounds of talks have been held and a number of important cross-Strait agreements signed, including lifting bans on direct shipping

The chat over tea followed formal talks on Tuesday afternoon in Nanjing, capital of neighboring Jiangsu Province, the first official contact between cross-Strait affairs departments of the two sides since 1949.
A statement from the SCTAO said the chiefs were both positive about the outcome of their meeting and expected to see each other again soon.
The meeting between Zhang and Wang was a natural development after efforts to promote peace and development across the Taiwan Strait

At Tuesday's meeting, the two agreed to open a regular communication channel between their departments and Zhang accepted Wang's invitation to visit Taiwan.
Zhang considered their meeting the result of deepening mutual political trust on the basis of the 1992 consensus, while Wang described it as "an unimaginable occasion in earlier years."
Relations between the mainland and Taiwan stalled when the Kuomintang, led by Chiang Kai-shek

Business and personnel exchanges resumed in the late 1980s, and in the early 1990s the two sides started to engage with each other through two non-governmental organizations, the ARATS and SEF.
Wang arrived in Nanjing, capital of east China's Jiangsu Province

On Thursday afternoon, he met a couple of mainland experts on Taiwan affairs and listened to their opinions on the cross-Strait situation and proposals to improve ties.
"Through such a meeting, we understand more of the mainland's policies and public opinions and also had a chance to explain our stance. It will help bring out policies that both sides understand," he said after the meeting.
Also on Thursday morning

"We all know that cross-Strait relations will not always go well and there are difficulties to be overcome and barriers to be removed," Zhang said. "The expectation of compatriots from both sides for peace and wellbeing will be our motivation to keep working."
Wang is scheduled to leave Shanghai for Taipei on Friday at noon.

SEOUL, Nov. 18 (Xinhua) -- Public opinion in South Korea shows signs of division as the scandal-hit President Park Geun-hye pushes for a bilateral military pact with Japan to directly exchange intelligence on the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).
A survey by Gallup Korea, a local pollster, showed 59 percent opposing it as they believe Seoul should refrain from strengthening military cooperation with Tokyo unrepentant of its brutalities during World War II. The Korean Peninsula was colonized by the Imperial Japan from 1910 to 1945.
In contrast, 31 percent responded positively to the deal on a foggy notion that more and more intelligence, even from the unrepentant Japan, would help defend their country better from "growing nuclear and missile threats" from Pyongyang.
Public fury here over the former colonial ruler is deeply rooted as seen in the opposition from almost two-thirds of respondents. Former President Lee Myung-bak pushed the hush-hush deal with Japan in 2012, but it was scrapped at the last minutes on public outcry.
South Koreans are regularly enraged at Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe who has paid respect, or made ritual offerings, to the.
