China and Taiwan should negotiate a framework emphasizing ‘One Country,’ respect, and dialogue to ensure peace and avoid conflict.
The Need for Negotiation
China and Taiwan must engage in discussions to create a new political framework centered on ‘One Country’ principles, emphasizing mutual respect and autonomy. Relying solely on military strength for security is misguided; a lasting solution must prioritize dialogue and cooperation to prevent conflict.
Moving Forward Together
Taiwan can ease China’s concerns by promoting a region-to-region relationship while asserting its sovereignty. In turn, China should recognize Taiwan’s democratic government, facilitating its participation in international organizations. This approach fosters independence for Taiwan and supports China’s goal of peaceful reunification.
