An official said on Wednesday that increasing numbers of Taiwan residents are realizing that the 1992 Consensus embodying the one-China principle is critical, especially following local elections in Taiwan last month, and the agreement is closely related to a desire to develop the economy and improve people's lives.A recent poll by China Times in Taiwan showed that 61 percent of Taiwan residents agree with developing relations with the mainland under the consensus - an understanding reached between Beijing and Taipei in 1992 that the two sides belong to one China."We have noticed the trend," said Ma Xiaoguang, spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, who said most Taiwan compatriots recognize its significance and that it's tied to their self-interest.The 15 newly elected Kuomintang county and city heads all publicly declared that they will uphold the consensus, and there are efforts underway have the 15 visit Beijing to promote economic and trade development, the island's media reported.With a correct understanding of exchanges between cities across the Taiwan Straits, more counties and cities in Taiwan are welcome to participate in such exchanges and cooperation, Ma said.However, the island's mainland affairs council said recently that cross-Straits exchanges should be handled through official communications between the two sides, and should not be subject to political preconditions.Ma said the 1992 Consensus clearly defines the nature of cross-Straits relations, and as it has been confirmed by both sides it is not a premise imposed by one party on another.The consensus makes it possible to put aside differences that are difficult to resolve for the time being and opens the door for exchanges and dialogue on the basis of consultation on an equal footing, he said.Since the Democratic Progressive Party came to power in 2016, it has refused to clearly state its acceptance of the consensus, thus closing the door to cross-Straits consultations and seriously harming the vital interests of Taiwan compatriots, Ma said.Ma said the Taiwan people already realize that the DPP's refusal to state its support for the consensus and its creation of tensions between the two sides are entirely the result of selfish motives.He urged the DPP to abandon its separatist stance, cease language and deeds that undermine cross-Straits relations and return to a common political stance in order to pursue a better life. custom id bracelets

[Photo/China Daily] As one of China's first internationally certified lactation consultants, Feng Yue often comes across absurd infant care scenarios and the lack of awareness that new mothers have about breastfeeding. In particular, these absurd scenarios often happen to highly educated mothers, she said. Feng, a co-founder of New Way Breastfeeding Care, has helped some 6,000 new mothers in China, including a number of Olympic gold medalists and film stars, with lactation in the last seven years. I, myself, was such a case, she said. It was the enormous pain that I felt from a strong and hard hand massage by a nanny who had no professional training in massaging the breast for milk 10 years ago that made me determined to seek a career in this sector. In the first few days after giving birth to her son in September 2008, Feng said her nanny massaged her incorrectly, leading to blocked lactiferous ducts. She had to undergo breast surgery to completely unblock the ducts. Those painful experiences prompted Feng to quit her job at a joint venture and start acquiring professional knowledge about breastfeeding. She has been a volunteer helping new mothers since 2009. She said some mothers were cheated by masseuses who told them that they needed to be massaged more than 100 times to sustain their breast milk. Not only did the new mothers spend a lot of money on such useless massages, but some of the massages also caused breast-related health complications. Feng said increasing Chinese women's knowledge about breastfeeding and providing more psychological support to them are crucial. Breastfeeding has been proved to help newborns develop intelligence and healthy bodies, and help reduce the mental stress of new mothers. However, Feng said Chinese mothers are more interested in buying imported milk powder. Statistics from the National Health Commission indicate that only 29.2 percent of mothers in China provide pure breast milk to one-to six-month-old infants, while the figure overseas is 40 percent. Statistics from a Sohu report last year show that China has fewer than 400 international board certified lactation consultants, or IBCLCs, indicating that many breast massage professionals and nannies have not been well trained. Some may only have local training certificates, but many in suburban areas have no certification at all. Currently, Chinese lactation professionals can only take the IBCLC examination in Taiwan or in the United States. To a certain extent, all these circumstances have led to false breastfeeding methods, and a low breast milk rate, Feng said. To her delight, more Chinese celebrities have joined campaigns to raise awareness of breastfeeding in recent years. Thanks to her professional techniques, Feng has helped some 20 Olympic medalists and world champions, including figure skater Shen Xue, synchronized swimmer Zhang Xiaohuan and gymnast Zhang Nan, and film stars such as Jiang Qinqin, to breastfeed their babies. These public figures have vowed to publicly support breastfeeding education for Chinese women. Feng plans to offer more e-learning courses for new mothers and professionals in the sector, and also introduce the IBCLC examination to the Chinese mainland.
