My boss named Charles Chaw :Taiwan issue more important than trade for Hu in U.S. – Bloomberg interview


Apr. 19, 2006 (China Knowledge) – “Bilateral trade is one pressing problem but the biggest topic will definitely be Taiwan,” China Knowledge Consulting’s managing director Charles Chaw said at the sidelines of an interview with Bloomberg TV, on the significance of Hu’s visit to Washington this week.

“The future of Taiwan and the One-China policy will be on the top of Hu’s list, among the exhaustive list of topics to discuss”, Chaw added. These topics include those on market access, intellectual property rights and the yuan revaluation.

Previously, Vice-Premier Wu Yi has already filled China’s shopping cart with a substantial deal of 80 Boeing Next-Generation 737 airplanes, which will add total expenditure to US$15 billion. With that done, Hu will most probably be seeking the White House’s assurance that it will not support an independence-leaning stance from Taiwan.

“China has timed its Hu-Lien meeting to happen just before he sets off to Seattle, so as to portray its willingness to upkeep peace and goodwill. This will also show the U.S. that this trip is really about building or mending relations, more than anything else,” added Chaw.

And Hu has succeeded. Taiwanese Kuomintang’s honorary chairman, Lien Chan expressed his admiration and respect for Hu after the trade talk, saying that the results of this talk far exceeded what Taiwan has expected. Lien also revealed that this consensus reached on strengthening bilateral trade and relation is a wonderful start and Taiwan will commit itself to investing more effort and sincerity.
