TAIWAN-US-CHINA TIES TO REMAIN UNCHANGED IN SHORT TERM: SCHOLARS.
TAIPEI, Mar 1 Asia Pulse - The delicate triangular Taiwan-U.S.-China relations will remain unchanged in short term despite President Chen Shui-bian's controversial decision to cease the operations of the National Unification Council (NUC), two local scholars said Tuesday.
Liao Ta-chi, director of National Sun Yat-sen University's Graduate Institute of Political Science, and Hsu Yung-ming, an Academia Sinica researcher, made the comments after President Chen declared a day earlier that the NUC will "cease to function" and the guidelines on unification will "cease to apply" because no outcome in relations across the Taiwan Strait should be preordained.
Both Liao and Hsu agreed that the wording of Chen's declaration in which the term "cease" replaced the more controversial "abolish" was a compromise with the United States.
One of the "five noes" promises Chen made in his 2000 inaugural speech was not to abolish the NUC and the guidelines. Using the word "cease" instead of "abolish" showed Chen's sensitivity to concerns by the United States and others that he should not renege on his pledge.
"The larger question now will be whether the United States will continue to trust Chen after all the dust-up over the NUC issue, " Liao said.
Noting that the NUC and the guidelines on unification have been all-but defunct since Chen became president six years ago, Liao said Chen's latest move could lead the United States to question what Chen's next step will be.
