Q:China is talking about how the mainland Chinese people should be involved in deciding Taiwan’s future.
A: The statement by the spokesperson of Beijing’s Taiwan Affairs Office about Taiwan’s future caused quite a stir of opposition here. They stated their traditional position, without realizing that, for Taiwan, this is unacceptable. So even though the mainland has invested a great deal in researching Taiwan–their organizations often send people to Taiwan–they still… need to do more homework.
