From the civil war between KMT and CCP in 1949, it was not until 2008 that Beijing started to think that there had been more positive changes in Taiwan and cross-strait relationship had shown good momentum. As a result, CCP’s 4th generation leader, Hu Jintao , widely promoted cross-strait exchanges in politic, economic, and culture fields on the basis of “1992 consensus” and suspend controversies” principles. However, Hu still insisted some core principles, such as ”One China policy” and “Unify China”, which were in line with the unification policies toward Taiwan inherited from former party leaders.This thesis intends to discuss the history and transform of CCP’s unification policies toward Taiwan during the year of 2008 to 2012.
