<p>Beijing and Taipei will talk about inching closer together
</p>
<p> People on both sides of the Taiwan Strait have long agreed
on one thing: there should be only one China. While the political
gulf between Taiwan and the People's Republic remains huge, the
two Chinas have scheduled private talks in Singapore within the
next few weeks that could be the first step toward closer ties.
The agenda may include the introduction of direct
transportation links, perhaps starting with service between the
Taiwan-controlled island of Quemoy and Xiamen, one of the
mainland's free-marketeering special economic zones. Why talk
now? Both sides may be concerned about recent electoral gains
in Taiwan made by the country's pro-independence forces, which
are unbudgingly opposed to unification.
