<The government in Tapei rules Taiwan. It's not an "arrangement" between Taiwan and the PRC, its only an "arrangement" like the "Arrangment" that the government in Bejing is the government over the PRC, or the government in Washington DC is the national government for the USA. Its a unilateral arrangment.> It is by no means unilateral. The arragement between Taiwan and Beijing is clear enough -- so long as Taiwan does not forget that it is part of China, and hence not a sovereign nation state, then it will be permitted considerable latitude in the conduct of its affairs. Taiwan cannot leave China, nor can Taiwan represent itself as a sovereign nation state. Short of that, Taiwan is given wide latitude to conduct its own administrative affairs. In the future there will be a convergence of the two administrative systems -- the details and timing of that are the subject of considerable speculation and uncertainty -- the only thing known with certainty os that there is only one China, and Taiwan is part of it -- a fact undisputed by Taiwan.
