One Country, Two Systems
When the People’s Republic of China was founded in 1949, the Kuomintang regime, defeated in the War of Liberation, retreated from the mainland to the island of Taiwan, creating the division between the two sides of the Taiwan Straits.
The Democratic Progressive Party, the current ruling party in Taiwan, refuses to recognize the 1992 Consensus reached by the mainland and Taiwan that both sides belong to one China, and even tries to deny it. Its separatist push for “Taiwan independence,” plus interference by foreign anti-China forces, has worsened relations across the Taiwan Straits.
The pursuit of “Taiwan independence” will lead to a dead end as the mainland will definitely not allow Taiwan to remain separated. Then in what way will the mainland achieve reunification with Taiwan?
