7月16日，中共中央统战部、国家民委组织首都少数民族代表100余人举行座谈，强烈谴责李登辉公然宣称将两岸关系定位在“国家与国家，至少是特殊的国与国的关系”的言论，认为这彻底暴露了李登辉蓄意分裂祖国领土和主权，企图把台湾从中国分裂出去的政治本质和意图。与会代表表 On July 16, the CPC Central Committee’s United Front Work Department and the State Ethnic Affairs Commission organized more than 100 representatives of ethnic minorities in the capital to hold informal discussions and strongly condemned Lee Teng-hui’s overtly declared assertion that cross-Strait relations will be positioned as “a country and a state or at least a special state-to-state relationship.” He believes that this thoroughly reveals the political nature and intention of Lee Teng-hui in deliberately splitting the territory and the sovereignty of the motherland and attempting to split Taiwan from China.
