A Taiwanese government official blasted Taiwanese President Ma Yingjiu for his "One Country, Two Areas" policy. This is referencing President Ma's recent political stance with China. The two countries have been estranged since WWII, and tensions between the two were always high until recent years. Now, some Taiwanese officials are worried that the current president is taking too friendly of a stance with China, and by so doing will cause instability to the country. President Ma was also accused of bullying the opposition parties is public and making important political decisions without them in private.
I find this article interesting because it shows a new dynamic that is arising between China and Taiwan. I believe that this is mainly due to the increasing economic advantages that can be enjoyed by Taiwan if they form closer ties with China.
