News: Taiwan Politics

Actually, China has not offered this yet...they are considering it. The KMT is play in delicate game (in my opinion) with the Chinese. The KMT is very much pro relationship improvement (trade, travel, cultural, etc...). This runs throughout the organization. However, the choice of giving up sovereignty is not a desirable one for many in the organization. It seems to me that they want the status quo but they want the benefits of being close in relations because they see the juggernaut that the Chinese economy is and they don't want to be left out of opportunities that will come from improved relations. The game comes in the fact that at some point with all the benefits that Taiwan gets from the interaction will be met with a question about reunification. They have done a great job of tap dancing around that issue so far in order to keep the desired status quo. However, the more they interact, the more this topic will naturally surface. Someday, China will either drop it (basically when capitalism destroys communism) or for a decision (when they have a big enough navy and military to win easily against Taiwan). [See Similar Topics]
