A faustian bargain...Taiwan & China

A top negotiator from China is coming to Taiwan to negotiate smoother economic trade and political ties with Taiwan aka the Republic of China. The Kuomintong holds power in Taipeh after recent elections; the old KMT has never wanted to wean Taiwan from the myth that it is part of China, on one hand; on the other hand, the current recession affecting even cash rich Taiwan which lives off exports, pushes it to firm up relations with China where it has heavily invested time, money, and qualified people. Beijing seizing the opportunity to "absorb" Taiwan which it regards as a renegade province, will use the wiles of Circe to hog tie the Republic of China into its web of false security. Beijing is not talking to Taipeh as an equal, no matter what president Ma[n] might say or think; it will use any trick that it has in its bag of thuggery to hook Taiwan into its net and for good. The KMT should look at negotiations with Tibet. A fog of false promises. Tibet should serve as a lesson to Taiwan. You can make money in China but do not fall for the lure of gold. Taipeh has a good hand to play with, and should never lose sight of Beijing's duplicity. The old Chinese leaders have feet of clay, and they need Taiwan, and that Taipeh should never lose sight of. Furthermore, Taiwan is a thriving democracy, and the Taiwanese won't stand for Beijing's wiles and false words. And that Beijing hasn't ever to forget.
