Forum says China might rethink its policy on Taiwan

[dArKeR]

Beijing might fine-tune its Taiwan policy if the pan-green camp wins more legislative seats than the pan-blue camp in the year-end legislative elections, analysts said yesterday at a forum predicting a change in China's Taiwan policy after the elections.

"If the pan-green camp dominates in the number of legislative seats after the December elections, I believe it would be a good turning point in the deadlock between Taiwan and China," Chou Jih-shine (???) said yesterday. Chou is a professor of the Graduate Institute of National Development at National Taiwan University.

"But we have to observe how good the chances of this happening will be, since Taiwan will launch the reform of its Constitution next year, which might again put pressure on cross-strait relations," Chou said.
