BEIJING, April 29 (Xinhuanet) -- Chairman Lien Chan of the Kuomintang party said here Friday that it is undoubtedly good for the Chinese mainland and Taiwan to join hands for common prosperity.

The win-win situation resulting from closer economic ties across the Taiwan Straits will benefit not only the two sides but also neighboring countries in the Asia-Pacific region, Lien said in a speech to teachers and students of Beijing University.

"One plus one makes more than two," Lien said, adding that the two sides across the Straits are now more and more interdependent.

While the mainland is striving for rapid economic growth, Taiwan tries is on the way for its second round of economic miracle, Lien said.

"The common prosperity for the Chinese across the Straits is nolonger a unattainable dream," he said.
