BEIJING, May 6 (Xinhuanet) -- Chinese Kuomintang (KMT) Party leader Lien Chan's recent visit to China's mainland and his meeting with Communist Party of China (CPC) leader Hu Jintao have gained applause from many international media.

　　US Chinese newspaper The China Press Friday commented positively on Lien's mainland visit, while calling on the Taiwanese authority to abandon its pro-independence stance, recognize the 1992 consensus, and seek reconciliation across the Taiwan Straits.

　　The commentary said that recent polls on the Taiwan island showed that most Taiwanese people support Lien's approach of trying to seek peace for both sides across the Straits and opposing Taiwan's independence.

　　Romania's Chinese newspaper Europe Weekly Business editorialized that as far as the KMT and CPC can sit down to talk about the future across the Taiwan Straits, it's already a victory. Lien's historic meeting with CPC General Secretary Hu Jintao shows that Chinese people have the wisdom and ability to solve their own problems and don't need outside interference.

　　The editorial noted that for the long-lasting interests of the Chinese people and their next generations, China must gain reunification.

　　The newspaper also thinks the most important outcome of the Hu-Lien talks is that both parties clearly expressed their insistence on the 1992 consensus and objection to Taiwan independence in their joint press communique released after the talks.

　　Argentina's Chinese newspaper World News weekly commented in its editorial that the meeting of the two party leaders have opened a gate for the two parties to compromise. "There is new hope for China's future," the newspaper said.
