I. Peaceful relations already in developement

   1) Taiwan's KMT administration has recognized "One-China Understanding" 
with China, laying 
      foundation for all peaceful relations, such as Big Three communications,
 Strait Forum, mutual
      investments, Joint music performance, etc. already achieved.
   2) Taiwan and China need peaceful relations 
      - Economic situation
      - Bigger regional security
      - US' position
   3) People on Taiwan supports peaceful relations
   4) Will peaceful relations being developed be reversed?
      --Peaceful relations cannot be stable, either to be reversed toward 
separation or progressing to reunification.

II. How can peaceful relations progress to reunification?
   --A momentum for common national sentiment is required- a Cultural nationalism 
for thier cultural reconstruction.

  1) Recent statistics-more economic cooperation, more people on Taiwan 
thinking they are only Taiwanese.  Money alone 
      cannot do the job.
  2) Cultural Nationalism-Joint participation by both sides for future of 
their country's cultural reconstruction.
      --Unification of some Chinese characters--very simple job.
      --Joint team work for new dictionaries, encyclopedia, academic programs,
 etc.
      --Joint work on Chinese culture reevaluation, build up new ideas
      --Onlt when there developed common identification, common sentiment 
for future, can the two sides go for peaceful    
        reunification. 

III. Resist foreign influence against reunification-primarily Japan's

    1) Japan has every aspect of conflict with China in region-- territories,
 resources, ambition, history, showing all   
        aggressiveness and determination; most recently, to station troop 
in an island only 120 km from Taiwanaway. Sino- 
        Japanese conflicts appear inevitable from strategical and historical 
viewpoints 
    2) Solution to defuse future serious Sino-Japanese conflict
       --Ryukyu Islands must resume its independence as a buffer zone because 
all conflicts are rooted in Japan's 
        occupying the old kindom by force in 1879 and reoccupied it in 1972 
against Allies''  Potsdam Declaration of    
        July, 1945 for terms for Japan's unconditional surrender, which 
Japan accepted for future territories limited to 
        its original four islands.
