China-Taiwan relations are thawing! At least... |
|
according to what I just heard on BBC radio.
They've just opened trade talks, with some increased trade already agreed to, and the two heads of state are planning a meeting.
Nobody's yet making the big leap to China recognizing Taiwan as an independant state, but this is how such recognition starts.

1. No one is going to recognize anything. |

Most people are content with the status quo, given that Taiwan isn't exactly cut off from the world.
Remember that the current arrangement comes from Cold War dick-waving which separated an existing nation, just like Germany and Korea. Once the dictatorship ends in Beijing the reunification process will proceed fairly quickly.
