Taiwan's new order yields to China

The United States needs to be proactive in staying on top of relations between Taiwan and the PRC. If neglected, there will always exist the latent threat of standoff between the two nations that could, by our own law, drag us into armed conflict --- one with the potential for use of nuclear weapons. We should try to mediate a reunification between the two. A precondition of reunification talks would be the democratization of China such that not just Taiwan, but all China, would be able to move from a one-party totalitarian state to a multi-party democracy. The PRC's leadership is afraid of this because of what they see as adverse results from the former Soviet Union's attempts to transition to a democratic form of government, yet they should take notice of other Asian tigers such as South Korea and Taiwan that have made this transition. The Chinese Communist Party is one only in name, and is, in reality, a Chinese nationalist party. It seems quite likely that, given its booming economy, in a free electoral system, the CCP would probably prevail in any case so its leadership has little to fear from democratization. A transition to a free system would be beneficial to China's economy, for reunification, for its neighbors, and for its peoples' quality of life.
