In the mean time, China tries to see if the two sides could work out
their differences for the sake of the reunification of the country
Some progress was made when both sides agreed on what is called
the “1992 consensus” , basically meaning recognition of one China ,
but different interpretations
China also proposed to use the “one country, two systems” as the
formula to bring in Taiwan in an unified China but to no avail
What worries China most is that while there may be cross-strait
talks mainly on non-sensitive issues, Taiwan has refused to talk
about reunification; more importantly, there is rise of the yearn for
independence
