The White Paper points out that the Taiwan question is purely an internal affair of China's and is different from the issues of the two Germanys and Koreas that resulted from the Second World War. The Taiwan question is left over from a civil war in China and is a result of foreign intervention. By contrast, the separation of Germany and that of Korea were a result of international factors and based on international agreements after the Second World War. Though the two sides of the Taiwan Straits have not yet been reunified, China's sovereignty has not been divided, and an absolute majority of countries in the world recognize that there is only one China, that Taiwan is a part of China and that the government of the People's Republic of China is the sole legitimate government representing China. The Taiwan question is completely an internal affair of China's.
The current leadership of the Taiwan authorities wants to apply the German model to relations across the Taiwan Straits, advocating to maintain the de facto separation and pursue reunification in future. How-ever, their real goal is to seek permanent separation instead of proceeding to reunification. The two-Germany issue and the question of cross-Straits relations cannot be placed on a par, since they differ in historical background, nature, internal factors and specific conditions. The Chinese Government and people are firmly opposed to solving the Taiwan question in ways the German and Korean issues are handled.
