One China one Taiwan needed
A letter from Taiwanese scholars at Southern Illinois University argues two misconceptions in Editor’s Nov 23 piece on China and Taiwan. It asserts most Taiwanese favor independence, reject Chiang Kai-shek’s regime, and urge full normalization with the PRC only after Taiwan becomes a self governed state.
