Li Yafei, secretary-general of the PRC's Association for Relations Across the Strait, said that the mainland doesn't even have the concept or term "little three links," and that the key to the "three links" remains the "one China" principle.
海協會秘書長李亞飛亦指出，大陸方面並沒有小三通這個概念，也沒有這個名詞，兩岸「三通」的關鍵仍在於「一個中國」的原則。
