The 'Six-Points' proposed by the PRC leader Hu Jintao stipulates the terms of easing cross-strait hostilities and encouraging peaceful negotiation. From Taiwan's perspective, the difference in interpretations between Beijing and Taipei on national sovereignty is irreconcilable. More importantly, a democratized Taiwan is not likely to accept a so-called 'One State, Two Systems' compromise. Thus far, Beijing's negotiation strategy is premised on restraining Taiwan's political and legal status internationally, thereby constraining Taiwan to a path destined for integration with mainland China. Such political developments would invariably reach a tipping point after which changes to the status-quo would be irreversible. However, when conducting political negotiations on a peace agreement it is vital to contextualize sovereignty within international politics as well as international legal and constitutional frameworks in order to produce meaningful results. In resolving the foreseeable cross-strait political gridlock, the experimentation in cooperation between the Chinese province of Fujian and Taiwan with a 'Heisey economic zone' may be an alternative approach for both sides to engage in an initial model for economic and social interactions. |
