The Chinese communist regime must recognize that Taiwan is not a part of China and handle cross-Strait disputes with respect and fairness, the Taiwanese Mainland Affairs Council (MAC) said on Sunday.

The MAC made the remarks after outgoing Chinese premier Li Keqiang pledged to advance “peaceful reunification” with Taiwan while taking “resolute steps” to oppose Taiwan’s independence.
