By 1996, after a decade of reforms, it lost Taiwan’s irst fully free 39 40 election to the pro-independence DPP, and 41 42 43 the two parties have alternated in power ever since. 44 he curious thing, however, is that neither party ever really comes down of the 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 fence. he DPP never says outright that it would like to make Taiwan a separate and 55 56 57 independent country. And the KMT never 58 59 60 says that it would accept reuniication under the “one-country, two-systems” formula, just 61 62 that it would like closer relations with the mainland. 63 64 65 66 hat’s because the electorate would never vote for reuniication with a Communist- 67 ruled China, but Beijing would invade rather 68 69 70 71 72 than allow Taiwan to declare independence. A recent opinion poll showed that 85 percent 73 74 75 of all Taiwanese voters support either the status quo or a declaration of independence, 76 77 78 79 80 while only 6 percent want reuniication with China. 81 82 83 here are other, mostly domestic issues 84 85 86 in Taiwan politics, which is why the KMT sometimes wins, but whenever the main 87 question is reuniication with China the DPP wins easily. hat’s why Tsai Ing-wen will win 88 89 the election next Saturday: nobody in Taiwan can ignore what is happening in Hong Kong.
