hui zhou- I would say, based on the articles you cited, that the truth is a little more nuanced than your capitalized editorial suggests. From the Strait Times: ================================================================= "Although the locals interviewed said that, theoretically, a separate statehood would be good for Taiwan, none of them thought it was feasible or absolutely necessary, given the political reality. ... For instance, a public-opinion poll commissioned by the ruling Kuomintang showed over 60 per cent backing the categorisation of Taiwan-China relations as "special state-to-state" ties rather than as "political entities". But when these respondents were asked if Taiwan should break with China officially and change its name from the Republic of China to the Republic of Taiwan, only 20 per cent said Yes." ================================================================== It does appear that the people of Taiwan are having a national discussion of this question in a way that the people of the PRC are forbidden by their reigning dictatorship from having.
