Peking issues new call for reunification with Taiwan

Peking extended a further olive branch to Nationalist-ruled Taiwan and indirectly accused right-wing Americans of ulterior motives in supporting the island.

The official press printed the full text of a letter sent to Taiwan President Chiang Ching-kuo from his childhood friend Liao Chengzhi, a vice-chairman of the National People's Congress. The letter said the Nationalist and Communist parties could coexist after reunification.
