North Korea demands that South halt all military exercises (Excerpt) ...The US imperialists and the South Korean puppets have been aggravating our country's situation since the beginning of the year by staging reckless war exercises while talking about the suspension of the Team Spirit war exercise. This can by no means be tolerated. Even today, when the relations of confrontation between the East and the West have crumbled and an atmosphere for peaceful reunification of Our nation has been unprecedentedly enhanced, the United States is trying to realize its wild ambition for a northward invasion with the old viewpoint of the Cold War era. It should renounce such an anachronistic way of thinking and do things that are conducive to peace in Korea and its peaceful reunification.

Chinese official "senses" concern in Hong Kong over transfer of sovereignty Lu Ping, director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office Under the State Council, concluded his eight-day visit in Hong Kong on 14th January, Xinhua News Agency, Peking (in English 1111 gmt 14 Jan 92) reported. The visit by Lu Ping was the first official meeting between the governments of China and Britain since the signing of the Sino-British Memorandum of Understanding on the construction of a new airport in Hong Kong. Lu Ping visited the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and the site of the new airport at Chek Lap Kok.
Lu said he had “a sense during talks with people in various trades and professions that Hong Kong residents are concerned about the smooth transfer of sovereignty to the Chinese government in 1997 and willing to contribute their share to this endeavour". The Chinese government does not expect to see any inconsistency with the Basic Law during the latter half of the transitional period, Lu stressed.

Deng Xiaoping expects breakthrough in China-Taiwan relations (Text) The most influential gerontocrat in Zhongnanhai, Peking, said recently that a "breakthrough" could be expected within three to five years in relations between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. But Deng Xiaoping added that there is no timetable for China's unification. According to a Chinese Communist Party document, Deng told a "National Day Seminar" in late October that Taiwan "must return to the embrace of the
fatherland".
"We cannot say unification can be achieved after our generation has passed away, nor can we say we must unify the country immediately. It all depends on the changing situation," the 88-year-old Deng was quoted as remarking.
The document further quoted Deng as observing that the Kuomintang [KMT] is “currently neutral" because "it opposes both Taiwan's independence from and unification with China". "The key lies in the social system. This is why we use a 'one country, two systems' formula to deal with their refusal to talk about unification," Deng said. Deng, who does not hold any significant post but remains powerfully influential, said the main partner for negotiation on China's unification should be the KMT. But the partners should not be limited to the KMT, he added. (Central News Agency, Taipei in English_0744 gmt 16 Jan 92)
