'Renmin Ribao' notes new trends in Taiwan independence (Excerpts from article by Fu Houmin (0265 0683 7044), "New Trend in Taiwan Independence' Merits Attention") ...In early May, the Taiwan authorities terminated the "period of mobilization for quelling communist rebellion" and carried out so-called "constitutional reform", and along with this, "Taiwan independence" forces took its chance to stir up trouble; they actively preached that "Taiwan independence" speeches should be made legal and open. This is one of the new characteristics in the new trend... Making a show of strength in order to usher in the overseas "Alliance for Taiwan Independence", which intends to shift its base to Taiwan at the end of this year, is another characteristic of the new trend.... Raising the banner of "Taiwan independence" to challenge the Taiwan authorities is the third characteristic of the new trend.
Overscas "Taiwan independence" persons have said they will finish the "plan for moving to Taiwan" by the end of this year, and base their key developments on the island. They are eager to return to Taiwan because they want to coordinate their efforts with the "Taiwan independence" forces on the island in carrying out open and “legalized” activities... Aster the Taiwan authorities announced the termination of the "period of mobilization for quelling communist rebellion" and abolished the "regulations on punishing rebellion", people on the island hoped that relations between both sides of the strait would become more harmonious, to benefit bilateral exchanges and "three links” as soon as possible, and to achieve the country's early reunification. This is the main trend and wish of the people. But a small number of "Taiwan independence" elements inside and outside the island used the chance to carry out "Taiwan independence” activitics. This will never be tolerated by the people on both sides of the strait. Facing the arrogance of "Taiwan independence" forces, how will the Taiwan authorities react? People are waiting to see.
