The other day President Xi met a pro-unification group from Taiwan and firmly reiterated "One country, two systems" which is the only principle that should be applied to the peaceful reunification between Mainland and Taiwan in the future.

Not surprisingly, the announcement caused a "national" furor in Taiwan.  Politicians from both Blue and Green proclaimed that they would never, ever accept such an arrangement for Taiwan.  But I noticed that there were less abusive vitriol against Xi's speech this time; at any rate, it was from the president of China, so those politicians were timid in making any reaction lest they should be listed as warmongers.    

Besides "one country, two systems", I just can't figure out any better political settlement that is best suitable for the relationship between Mainland and Taiwan under a future unified China.  Please don't tell me you want Taidu, independent from China forever, for Taidu means war unless you are preparing yourselves to die, but I don't want to die with you.  Even your American boss will refrain you from doing so.  Therefore, just quench that wistful thinking.  How about Dutai, just leave Taiwan alone and let you remain status quo forever?  Maybe, if the leaders of Mainland are all suckers or stupid political sugar daddys. 

So, it's settled: one country, two systems.  Get real, all you can do is to stop infightings within the island and amass your economical strength as chips in gaining the best conditions in future peace talk.  I predict that the final settlement will be done before Xi's tenure is over in 2022, so you'd better make up your mind quick.
