2012 Mainland China Visit
On October 2012, Frank Hsieh made a groundbreaking 5-day visit to Mainland China as the highest-ranking official of the DPP ever to do such step. However, this visit was a private visit in his capacity as a non politician. He visited Xiamen, Dongshan Islands and Beijing.
He met with Dai Bingguo, the State Councilor of the PRC, Chen Yunlin, the President of Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits and Wang Yi, Director of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the PRC.
Although both sides agreed on the One-China policy in governing the Cross-Strait relations, Hsieh prefer to have a new consensus of the so-called constitutions with different interpretations (憲法各表) instead of the 1992 consensus.
