Let us look at the PRC's suppression of the Falun Gong spiritual movement. Those believers have never intended to replace the reign of the Chinese communist party, nor have they used any means of violence to achieve their goal. Yet they are suppressed by Beijing violently and have been illegitimately detained...

While Taiwanese people are actively improving their society, with their wisdom and free will, they seek a better century. Yet, the PRC has never ceased to develop its missile systems. When Taiwan is trying to recover from the 921 earthquake, along with the unfortunate workers dwelling on the streets of Beijing.

Jiang's statement

"We have reason to believe that the Taiwan issue can definitely be resolved," "China would not tolerate any attempts by Taiwan to undermine Beijing's calm on the island," Jiang said. He reiterated the one-China principle was the basis for a peaceful reunification ... We will never sit with folded arms when faced with any attempt to split the Chinese sovereignty and territorial integrity ... the one-China principle is the basis and premise of peaceful reunification.

Soong's statement

While Beijing will probably come up with a formula that seems more acceptable than that it has used for Hong Kong and Macau, chances are the regime will not treat Taiwan as an equal political entity.

What lies ahead in terms of China's national reunification is unfathomable. It is necessary to discern the pitfalls communists will be communists. Their words should always be taken with a grain of salt.
