On 2 September 2008, Mexican newspaper ''El Sol de México'' asked President Ma of the Kuomintang about his views on the subject of "two Chinas" and if there was a solution for the sovereignty issues between the two. The president replied that the relations are neither between two Chinas nor two states. It is a special relationship. Further, he stated that the sovereignty issues between the two cannot be resolved at present, but he quoted the "1992 Consensus", currently  accepted by both the Kuomintang and the Chinese Communist Party, as a temporary measure until a solution becomes available.
