well, the existing policy is entirely a relic of the cold war--that taiwan has to be maintained as separate from china.
this is not an area of expertise on my part, so maybe there's more to it than i know, but what would be the problem with dropping that policy?
if relations with china are better--and they are--and if most of the 1947 generation has died off--which it has---what exactly is the rationale, beyond inertia, for continuing as though the logic of 1947, such as it was, still needs motivate anyone?
