Political squabbles obscure benefits of Taiwan reforms
Article Abstract:
The Koumintang Party (KMT) and the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) of Taiwan have agreed on constitutional reforms discussed in the National Development Conference held in January 1997. Different proposals were agreed upon by the two political parties. The DPP-KMT cooperation will help determine the fate of the next parliamentary elections in early 1999 and create the legislation needed by Taiwan. The conference developed domestic unity and built a foundation for reforms that are intended to achieve economic growth.

Taiwanese intellectuals urge reunification
Article Abstract:
Several prominent intellectuals in Taiwan are advocating for their island's reunification with China. They are one in accusing the West, particularly the US, of opposing the reunification in order to keep China down. The intellectuals are likewise one in their belief that Western values such as democracy and human rights have no place in a Chinese society.
