![]() ![]() National Taiwan University's retired professor Chang Ya-chung said “one country, two systems” failed to understand the reality that the ROC government ruled Taiwan. Ties across the Taiwan Strait have hit a new low since Tsai, of the independence-leaning DPP, became the president in 2016, and came to power for a second term three years ago. “This is why we cannot renounce the use of force … we are still fighting the war of liberation,” Lei stated. Now the Tsai Ing-wen (government) of the ruling Democratic Progressive Party wants to promote Taiwan independence, and invites foreign intervention,” he added. “This is why the Chinese military is called the People’s Liberation Army – because (Taiwan) is not liberated yet and China is not yet united. “Taiwan is an internal issue for China and it is a continuation of the civil war,” he said. He Lei stated that the issue of Taiwan was a “continuation of China’s civil war”, which ended in 1949. The government has emphasised that they aim at peaceful reunification under its “one China” principle, according to which Taiwan and the mainland are one country. Taiwan is considered by China as a breakaway province which will be eventually united with the mainland, if necessary by force. If Beijing really wants to negotiate, then it has to make clear its stance about the Republic of China, or there isn’t really any room for negotiations,” he added. “Taiwan has stated its position clearly that the Republic of China is an independent sovereign state. “Beijing’s ‘one country, two systems’ formula has no market in Taiwan and Taiwanese people believe this is just a trick by the mainland to destroy the Republic of China government,” stated Yang, using Taiwan’s official name. Yang stated that Xi's remarks underscored the chasm of understanding between Taipei and Beijing. The same proposition about reunification with Taiwan was raised by Chinese President Xi four years ago when he chaired an anniversary session in Beijing, said Andrew Yang Nien-dzu, a former Taiwanese defence minister.
