In recent days, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) and the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) have all been busy with their own cross-strait gambles.
The DPP has been pushing for a change in its cross-strait policy and has restored its China affairs department; former KMT chairman Wu Poh-hsiung (吳伯雄) has twice been to China to discuss the definition of cross-strait relations with the CCP; while the KMT government mobilized 1,300 police officers to welcome Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits (ARATS) Chairman Chen Yunlin (陳雲林) to Taiwan.
