As Chinese and Taiwanese authorities resist their proper stand-points and points of view regarding the relationship between the regimes, it is believed that the greatest interest of people living in both side of the straight can only be achieved wherever negotiations and dialogues are proceeded on the basis of peace, ration and the belief of a common prosperity shared by the straights. The paper researches mainly on the following topics: firstly, which kind of unification model is the most adoptable to current circumstances and in the near future, assuming that Chinese government insists the policy of “one China” and “one country two systems” while Taiwanese people are not willing to change their current status and sovereignty. Secondly, several models are analyzed theoretically and practically. Thirdly, the model of a confederation is further discussed and commented for its plausibility and acceptability. The author concludes that the model of confederation is most possibly acceptable for experts and political parties between the straights. Despite of disagreements in many political aspects, the people share similar economic, cultural and national situations. It is, therefore, believed that the “political unification” based on “confederation” with the notion of “two lands one family” helps to resolve diversity and conflicts among the authorities. “Confederation à la cadre of one China,” being recognized the acceptable pivot by both people and governments of the countries obeys the principle of “the unification of one China against recession” and incarnates Taiwan’s request of “autonomous and self-dependant” at the same time. The author suggests the proposed cadre to be one of the most theoretically plausible and practical models in dealing with contemporary Chinese relationships.
