Four yesses and one no, part I

In answer to the KMT's question about what happened to the "five nos..."

總統提四要一沒有 國民黨:四不一沒有呢?

(中央社記者林沂鋒台北五日電)總統陳水扁提出「四要一沒有」,中國國民黨代理主席吳伯雄今天說,國民黨對陳總統的「四要一沒有」嚴正表達反對立場,陳總統應向國人說明,過去信誓旦旦的「四不一沒有」是否還存在?
Presidential Secretary Mark Chen is saying that A-bian's new "four yesses and one no" speech is about China threat to Taiwan's soverignty, has nothing to do with the "four nos" promises, and does not go against the DPP's charter. An assistant secretary added that "Name rectification has nothing to do with changing the national moniker, and seeking independence is not declaring independence."

Now that sounds like some doublethink. But it reinforces that these are election slogans, and not plans to immediately make China think it's fight a war or let Taiwan go.

Update: The foriegn ministry has said they don't know anything about A-bian supporting these principles and said they have no intention of changing the status quo.

總統談話未牴觸四不 也沒有違背民進黨綱
(中央社記者溫貴香台北五日電)總統府副秘書長陳其邁今天表示,總統陳水扁「四要一沒有」的談話,是針對中國對台灣主權的侵蝕與打壓,與「四不」承諾無關,也沒有違背民進黨黨綱。總統府副秘書長卓榮泰也強調,正名無關更改國號,追求獨立也不是宣佈台獨。
