- <p>Beijing and Taipei will talk about inching closer together
- </p>
- <p> People on both sides of the Taiwan Strait have long agreed
- on one thing: there should be only one China. While the political
- gulf between Taiwan and the People's Republic remains huge, the
- two Chinas have scheduled private talks in Singapore within the
- next few weeks that could be the first step toward closer ties.
- The agenda may include the introduction of direct
- transportation links, perhaps starting with service between the
- Taiwan-controlled island of Quemoy and Xiamen, one of the
- mainland's free-marketeering special economic zones. Why talk
- now? Both sides may be concerned about recent electoral gains
- in Taiwan made by the country's pro-independence forces, which
- are unbudgingly opposed to unification.
