Abstract

For the past seven years, China has carried out a series of intensive campaigns to woo the Nationalists in Taiwan to accept peace talks, to foster another united front cooperation between the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the Kuomintang (KMT), and to reunify the Chinese mainland and Taiwan under Deng Xiaoping's one country, two systems formula. Although Beijing's reunification policy has been carefully and masterfully planned, directed, and pushed, and its peace-talk drive has been extensive and overwhelming, so far these efforts have met with little success. This article aims to examine critically Deng's reunification policy and peace-talk offensive, to look into the main features of his one country, two systems formula, to pinpoint the basic policy contradictions in the formula, and to explain why Chiang Ching-kuo and his KMT could not have accepted and will not accept this proposal for peace talks and reunification.
