From the Taipei Times:
Last Friday’s speech by the fourth-ranked Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leader, Jia Qinglin (Ë≥àÊÖ∂Êûó), clearly demonstrates that China still does not understand Taiwan. Although it was a major statement commemorating the 10th anniversary of former Chinese president Jiang Zemin’s (ʱüÊæ§Ê∞ë) so-called Eight Points, the speech said little that was new. Other than giving a few hints about China’s proposed anti-secession law, the speech uses racist argumentation and falsehoods to make its case.
Jia begins by noting how Jiang reiterated the policies of “peaceful unification” and “one country, two systems” — policies which came from Deng Xiaoping (ÈÑßÂ∞èÂπ≥). According to Jia, everything was fine until the mid-1990s when Lee Teng-hui (ÊùéÁôªËºù) pushed the “separatist activities” of creating “two Chinas” and “one China, one Taiwan.”
