Hu Jintao hampers reuniting
If Hong Kong's pro-democracy struggle is a destabilising factor for Beijing, it pales by comparison to developments in Taiwan. Taiwan's reincorporation into the Chinese state under current conditions would introduce a new destabilising force into the mainland's body politic: a mass-based and extremely vocal Taiwan populist movement, with its own media and huge financial resources.
This fear explains why Hu has modified his policy towards Taiwan, showing less haste than his predecessors over reunification. Nowadays Beijing's message is stronger economic ties and a 'common market'.
The Guomindang's increasing popularity with the urban middle class and some students is undeniable. A big layer of China's middle classes look enviously upon Taiwan's success as a 'knowledge-based economy', and its democratizing under the two Jiangs convinces them the GMD would make for a more efficient and 'democratic' - but still nationalistic - government.
The CCP try to buy in Taiwan gradually,though. Taiwan men are so welcome by the CCP(monopolizing so much national wealth that so generous to Taiwan men) that Taiwan men are intoxicated.For example,in Xiamen,there are about 50000 concubines of Taiwan men.
China will probably get a better capitalism after the inevitable reuniting.So,why won't USA encourage Ma Ying-jeou to play a more participant role in the mainland to boost the building of a new China,not only for Chinese but also for human being.
Stop cowboy superficialness! Adopt a strategic view!
