                    [Summary] => Taiwan urged China yesterday to engage in a dialogue with Taiwanese leaders to reduce tensions arising from the cross-straits issue amid Taipei’s bid for independence.


The Taipei Economic and Cultural Office (TECO) called for talks in a statement after Beijing openly called on the Philippines and the international community to oppose and stop Taiwanese President Chen Shui-bien from what it claimed was a very dangerous move: separating Taiwan from mainland China.

                    [Summary] => Since 1912, we have had two Chinas – the People’s Republic of China and the Republic of China, better known as Taiwan. But it was a civil war in 1949 that initiated the separation. There was a body organized to settle the dispute between the two Chinas – the National Unification Council. We were hoping that it would succeed in finding a solution to the question of deciding whether the two Chinas should only be one.
