From Asia Times (link):
When the line “Taiwan is part of the People’s Republic of China” appeared in the Chinese government’s 11th Five-Year Plan document on March 6, some observers thought it was a mistake, while some believed Beijing was ready to
harden its stance toward the island. Officials in Taiwan and some Beijing-based academics, however, suggested the move was part of China’s preparation for President Hu Jintao’s forthcoming US trip.For the past two years, the mainland leadership has been following the path of suppressing Taiwan via Washington, whose effectiveness is now questioned in Beijing because it has neither stopped Taiwanese President Chen Shui-bian holding a referendum nor stopped him abolishing the symbolic National Unification Council.
