Taiwan vs China
"China Says Taiwan Cannot Continue Delaying Reunion" China has issued an 11,000 word report entitled "The One-China Principle and the Taiwan Issue." The report sends a signal to the Taiwanese government that the powers in Beijing are growing impatient with recent delays in the reunification negotiations. Although the report mentions no formal timeline for official reunification, it has become clear China is not about to give up on effort to bring Taiwan firmly under the Chinese flag. China has offered to allow differing political systems under one united country. Despite this, Taiwan's President, Lee Teng-hui, continues to meet Chinese government officials on a separated "state-to-state basis." By allowing multiple types of political systems to coexist under one main government, China has showed a surprising amount of diplomacy, especially when compared to past Socialist
Hard-line tactics work sometimes, but this issue displays an example of how cooperation between two different economic societies may someday coexist within the same territory. With China's behavior up to now, most of the decision-making remains in the hands of Taiwanese government officials. policy-making with break-away states. Many Taiwanese government officials admit negotiations will have to resume soon. Most likely, China's terms for reunification will evolve to a point where the United States may find it beneficial to encourage Taiwan to reunify and cut their losses. Should Taiwan make any official moves toward independence, China would consider this a crushing blow to its sovereignty and border integrity, quickly making Taiwan an offshore enemy. Remaining questionable is how far the United States will go before it urges Taiwan to find reasonable terms with which to rejoin China peacefully. One possible reason for Taiwanese officials' slowing of the process may be a general and understandable reluctance to experience rapid societal change. Moreover, and beyond constraining, changing from a prospering democracy to any blend of capitalism/socialism seems an unfavorable task in the eyes of many Taiwanese citizens. Although experts think China is logistically incapable of invading Taiwan, it seems only a matter of time until reunification occurs. Taiwan has clearly been dragging its feet in the reunification process, citing that China's terms appear too constraining in nature. China not only wants an ally in Taiwan, Beijing wants countrymen. Under these terms lie the most fruit for a healthy relationship between these three countries. China's terms are not seen as entirely unfavorable; nobody wants war; a powerful country displaying acceptable geopolitical codes wishes to reunite with a territory once considered Chinese.
