IN TAIWAN, KMT VICTORY IS NOT A VOTE FOR REUNIFICATION
The huge victory of the Kuomintang party (KMT) in Taiwan is the worse defeat in the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) history since it was founded. In the mind of Taiwanese people, it is more a sanction against President Chen Shui-bian, with all the corruption charges against his entourage and himself, than his party objectives
With fewer citizens born in main China, the population of Taiwan is less and less interested in a reunification with communist China, but they don’t want to pay their official independence by a war. It’s why they prefer the maintenance of the status quo current situation.
If the victory of KMT will ease the relations with Beijing who refuses to government to government talks in favor of party to party talks, that don’t mean that KMT will have a free hand for what many said is sailing Taiwan to main China
The Taiwanese voters like to balance.
So, if Frank Hsieh, the DPP representative, has few chance to win the presidential election, his score will be a good warning to KMT : don’t go to much with China<br><br>Post edited by: Jacques, at: 2008/01/15 18:42
