The past two weeks have been memorable. I have much to complain..the humid weather, the bureaucratic structure of the companies, the trashy news, irrationality in the colourful politics, the polluted air, the playing of mid eighties hokkien songs in taxis, but one thing I wanna highlight is its uncertain future...The competing claims over the future of Taiwan have made and continue to make Taiwan's political status a contentious issue. From the eyes of the KMT, unification with the PRC for the foreseeable future is unacceptable to its members and the public.
In accordance with the one china policy, China requires that all countries conduct its diplomatic relations with no recognition to Taiwan. Thus, Taiwan "bribes its way" to be recognised amongst 25 states, mostly weak, neglected countries in Africa and Central America.
In my opinion, there will come a time where Taiwan has no choice but to accede and ride the ascending dragon, given its current fragile political and economic situation. Thus, I think it's wise if Taiwan consider renunifying China when it still has bargaining power....
