Dear Mrs. Madeleine Korbel Albright,

The ROC President has not given up that aspiration although, bilateral relations have hit one of their most difficult patches in recent decades.

The President Lee has kept Taiwan in good order and he has never strongly and conspicuously advocated independence, good tempered and open-minded, he is so far the best person to represent Taiwan if a head-to-head negotiation is to take place.

So, communist China should, if they are intent on engaging talks with Taiwan on the highest level, seize the chance now. It is totally unpredictable what will happen in the post-Lee era and who will be Lee's successor.

Because of policy, Beijing is unlikely to allow Lee to journey to the mainland as head of parallel government.

But Beijing must not overlook the will of the people in Taiwan. The residents of Taiwan are increasingly weary of and disgusted with the confrontation between Taiwan and the mainland.

Many of those who previously favored reunification with the mainland are now opposed to it. As poll after poll has shown, the percentage of residents who support reunification has been dwindling. The latest surveys indicated that less than half of the population are in favor of Taiwan moving toward reunification with the mainland.

We predict that post-Lee era would be a independent tendency. Taiwan people are lost patient by communist's arrogance.

So, we need your support.
