Background Report:
Intro:
Green protesters in Taiwan vow to set hurdles to normalization of the cross-straits ties as the two sides are bracing for a milestone event. Mr. Chen Yunlin, chairman of the Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits kicked off his five-day visit to Taiwan on Monday.
Mr. Chen’s tour is a reciprocal return for the mainland trip by his Taiwan counterpart, chairman Chiang Pin-Kung of the Straits Exchange Foundation, in June this year. The two sides will address the key issue of opening direct sea links and cargo flights.
But, Taiwan, which has been regarded as a renegade province makes it clear that it will not accept any compromise on its alleged sovereignty, and wants to address the cross-strait cooperation on an equal footing. It seems that public opinions are seriously divided in the island about how to respond to the reconciliatory gestures of the mainland since the die-hard pro-independence DPP lost the campaign in March.
