Today, in Beijing, was officially opened 17 th National Congress of the Communist Party of China . The event, a veritable crossroads of national politics, will last a week and will be followed with interest by all governments of the world.
course, the island of Taiwan will be heard every word spoken at the conference. In particular, they are the center of attention all the talk about the relationship between Beijing and Taipei .
It is precisely on the question of Strait which was dedicated passage of the opening speech of President Hu Jintao .
Unlike recent statements, however, in which was stated in no uncertain terms the willingness by Beijing to take seriously the ' use of force to quell any ambition of independence, today's occasion was simply talking about peaceful approach towards the island.
What causes this "turning point"?
You can make a few comments on the matter.
First keep in mind that these days China has the eyes of the international community on to himself. Declarations of war from the very first time would be irreconcilable with the proclamations strongly in favor of harmonious society, development of science-based international peace and . Especially a few days away from the turbulent events, not yet fully completed, in Myanmar.
Secondly, we must not forget that Beijing can not be bad publicity less than a year after the climax of the event 'was Hu : the 2008 Olympics , which is the international showcase that will show the world the whole Republic of China (with all its wealth, its victories and of course its contradictions)
Finally, it is also fair to say that, on this occasion, the statement has not been anticipated by one of several political moves that we have become accustomed to the President of Taiwan, Chen Shui-bian . In previous cases because Hu and other leaders of mainland China were faced with more or less strong utterances of the volcanic Chen pledged in recent months in office to push and support the candidature of party colleague Frank Hsieh, and then decided to pull out every possible card plays.
That said, you should make one last clarification: the "turning point" of Hu, which really is not your turn, assumes that Taiwan is arguably China (It is also clearly reinforced by the fact that the vast majority of international governments accept and endorse the policy of 'one China ), and that the reunification will take place by peaceful means if and only if there were to be effective kowtow to the leadership in Taipei. Whatever it is: the Kuomintang Ma Ying-jeou or PDP Frank Hsieh.
