Don't forget that during the Vietnam and Korean war, China was 30 years behind US and yet US failed to defend. Do not under estimate China capability and be more objective. You may not get the real truth and do not be deceived by what you see now. Eg. China has managed to sent astronaut to outer space but what has Taiwan done for the past 20 years?

Peaceful reunification proposal :-

In order to have peaceful reunification, China will require the co-operation from the regions. Japan, Korea, Australia and EU should emphasize the importance of ONE CHINA policy to Taiwan. Declaration of independence will only lead to economic instability and war, if necessary. Having said that, the situation may have a ripple effect that will lead to adverse effect on US, India, Pakistan and Middle East.

Nevertheless, no country should render military help to Taiwan as to restrain them from moving into independence. What Taiwan can do to avoid the crisis is to initiate a peaceful negotiation with China and improve the bilateral ties. I believe that the "One China Two Systems" is highly possible and can be extended to 100 years instead of 50 years unchanged. This will foster Taiwan and China economic integration. Do spare a thought for China as times will change everything. Also, learn the mistake from Russia where too rush for democracy will lead to chaotic state. What will US be in the next 100 years? No one can tell....

Last but not least, media of Taiwan play an important role to foster the one China policy. Taiwan media should educate their nations of the seriousness of offensive independence. The people of Taiwan is rather naive and never thought of the consequences. Based on the history of China, perseverance and determination is the root of the country's success. Never underestimate China!

I am neutral to all comments but foster on world peace policy.

Happy Viewing!
