Summary: | 碩士 === 南華大學 === 非營利事業管理研究所 === 91 === The fundamental issue of conflict between Taiwan and the Mainland China is the “One-China” principle. From Beijing’s announcement of the White Paper: “Taiwan Issue and the unification with China” in 1993, to recent comments made by Chinese leaders, even some corrections were made, the characters have never changed. The facts that Republic of China is on Taiwan and Taiwan is a sovereignty have never been diplomatically recognized. In fact, in 1994, former Taiwan President Lee Teng-Hui of KMT has already indicated, “Taiwan is a sovereignty”. In addition, the winner of the 2000 Presidential election, Chen Shui-Bian of the Democratic Progressive Party has been highly promulgating this issue.
In cross strait interaction, there are too many political and economical purposes , thus lack the ability of self decision-making. In Taiwan, several special phenomenons have been observed; they are “facts go before policies, policies go before laws, and the citizens go before government”. These situations have caused that government’s authority being challenged, situation awareness is blurred, the mental defense is loosened. The conflict between unification and independence have been deteriorated .
Hence, social stability has been affected. For China, after the immerging of the Taiwan experience into China, people’s confidence on Communism has been weakened. The discrepancy between inland and SE coast areas have been broadened and thus affected whole nation’s infrastructure.
Citizens of Taiwan usually support all kinds of reformation which called by social activity workers . Support from business has also been growing. In recent years, the mutual contacts and interactions among Taiwan NPO organizations have increased intensively and the views have been broadened internationally. In the 21 century, it is necessary that Taiwan has to rely on NPO in order to play more important role. Furthermore, NPO may function as the bridge of cross strait relations. Taiwan’s religious NPOs have been enthusiastic on the religious interchange activities. Beside religious issues, another problem is the culture difference which has been traditionally complicated. The traditional thinking of “Tang-Shan” has occupied people’s mind and is the primary motivation that affects Taiwan’s people keep going to the China for religious pilgrimage activities. For the cross strait religious interchange, Chinese government indicated that the fundamental interchange ideology should be religiously independent, academically advantageous, and politically compatible. On the other side, Beijing sets limits on Taiwanese religious activities in China. The purpose is obvious; Beijing is using the religious interchange as a tool to cover up it’s real purpose: free Taiwan. Economical benefits are the major goal for civilians to acquire from the religious interchange.
