Responding to Chen's insistence on the plan to dismantle the council and the guidelines, the United Sates has urged Taipei not to endanger stability in the region.

"American policy on cross-strait issues is firm and unchanging: Our strong desire is that Taiwan's policy not depart from that strong foundation (of peace)," David Keegan, acting director of the American Institute in Taiwan, told a dinner hosted by the American Chamber of Commerce in Taipei.

"It has served us and the Taiwanese people very well over the past decades."
