We have no problem addressing them (PRC officials) by their official titles, although they still have reservations about extending the same courtesy … - Wang Yu-chi

I told him (Zhang Zhijun) that this (daily massive protest) is pretty much what we (Republic of China government) experience in our daily lives. We are used to it. Now that he is head of the Taiwan Affairs Office, he has to understand Taiwan more.

President Ma has said in the past that cross-strait relations are not state-to-state relations, and his remarks on National Day carried the same meaning.

It's not easy for (Minister of Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council of the People's Republic of China) Zhang to openly address me by my official title (Minister of the Mainland Affairs Council of the Executive Yuan of the Republic of China).
