Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Highlights of white paper on national reunification
A week after U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan and met its president Tsai Ing-wen on Aug 3, China published a white paper titled "The Taiwan Question and China's Reunification in the New Era.” In summary, peaceful reunification based on the one-China principle can be achieved on conditions whilst force could be used if necessary. Once unified, Taiwan will be classified as a special administrative region and given a high degree of autonomy (like Hong Kong). Foreign countries will be allowed to continue economic and cultural relations with Taiwan as they have now on an approved basis.
This white paper shows no new news but clarifies the mainland’s position on Taiwan. People in Taiwan need to take these conditions into consideration when it comes to deciding on their future position.
Read the article and think about the difference between democracy and autonomy.
