Yeh described Ye's announcement as "an untrue unilateral statement."
She said that while Ye reaffirmed the two conditions that China has always held, "the Holy See still insists on the freedom to spread the Gospel, and the right to appoint bishops -- the same problem therefore still exists."
"One side focuses on politics while the other is concerned with religion," Yeh said. "I'm afraid the issue is unlikely to be resolved soon."
