(The Diplomat, By Nick Aspinwall) The Kuomintang (KMT) Party has faced criticism after chairman Wu Den-yih proposed the idea of signing a cross-strait peace treaty with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in an effort to warm cross-strait ties and restart negotiations. However, much of the public supports the ruling Democratic Progressive Party's (DPP) refusal to acknowledge the "1992 Consensus" and rejecting any semblance of a peaceful reunification with mainland China. The DPP has since proposed a policy that would cause any cross-strait peace deal to trigger a national referendum. <Accessed 2019-03-09>
