"I want to stress that we stick to the one-China policy, oppose 'Taiwan independence,' 'two Chinas,' 'one China, one Taiwan.' This policy remains unchanged and will not change regardless of what happens in Taiwan," Hong Lei, spokesperson of the foreign ministry, said at a daily press briefing on Friday.
Three candidates from three different parties, Tsai Ing-wen, Eric Chu Li-luan and James Soong Chu-yu, made their last lobby on Friday.
The island's leadership election is estimated to end at around 4 pm Saturday, local time. Around 18 million voters are eligible to cast a ballot.
The ruling party Kuomintang (KMT) candidate, Chu, on Friday campaigned for four hours for votes in Taipei, while Ma Ying-jeou, incumbent Taiwan leader and also former chairman of KMT, took to Facebook to urge people to vote for the party of "stability."
People First Party candidate Soong also ended his campaign Friday in Taipei after three days of campaigning across the island, local media said.
Meanwhile, Tsai, chairwoman of opposition party Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), held a press conference in Taichung and campaigned for votes on Friday, reportedly wearing a bullet-proof vest while campaigning.
While the DPP leader has been avoiding public acknowledgement on the 1992 Consensus, whose core principle is the one-China policy, Tsai also voiced her hope for peaceful development of cross-Straits relations, the Hong Kong-based China Review News reported.
According to a KMT opinion poll released in December 2015, Tsai remains in the lead at 40.4 percent with Chu trailing at 30.9 percent, the Taiwan-based Central News Agency reported........http://www.globaltimes.cn//content/963925.shtml
