The last decade has seen fundamental changes in the Taiwan authorities' policies toward the mainland. In the late 1980s, leaders of the Taiwan-based Kuomintang adhered to the "one China" stand, although they obstinately stuck to the policy of "no contact, no negotiation and no compromise" with the Communist Party of China. In the early 1990s, the Taiwan authorities began to deviate from the "one China" principle by proposing "one country, two administrations" and "one country, two equal political entities." In the last few years, the Taiwan leadership has deviated even further from the "one China" stand by advocating notions such as "the People's Republic of China in the mainland, the Republic of China in Taiwan" and "two split sides with separate administrations." Though the Taiwan authorities have occasionally made gestures to ease up cross-Straits relations, the essence of their mainland policies is to continue their obstinate adherence to the stance of creating "two Chinas."
It should be noted that, like their "mainland policies," the Taiwan authorities' so-called "foreign policies" are meant to create "two Chinas." In the international community, the Taiwan authorities cater to the needs of Western anti-China forces and go to great lengths to promote "pragmatic diplomacy." Advocating that Taiwan is "a sovereign state" and that the two sides of the Taiwan Straits are "parallel international legal persons," they seek "dual recognition" by the international community. They have tried hard to join the United Nations and other inter-governmental international organizations, and develop official relations with some foreign countries as a "sovereign state." In so doing, they attempt to internationalize the Taiwan question and create "two Chinas" or "one China, one Taiwan" in the international community.
The Taiwan authorities' mainland policies have encouraged separatist forces on the island. A very small number of "independence" -minded separatists preach "Taiwan independence" and even throw in their lot with some foreign countries with an attempt to split Taiwan from China.
Facts have proved that, unless the Taiwan authorities change their erroneous "mainland policies," stop creating "two Chinas" and "one China, one Taiwan," the foundation for the development of cross-Straits relations would be seriously disrupted, and there would not be any real improvement and easing up of cross-Straits relations but, instead, cross-Straits confrontation would likely emerge at any time. This is not only unfavorable for Taiwan's social and economic progress, but will also directly harm the fundamental interests of people on both sides of the Taiwan Straits. It is not conducive to a peaceful reunification of China, nor is it favorable to peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region and in the world as a whole. |
