Diplomatic Taiwanese
Well, isn't this interesting?
This could be a good move by the Taiwanese. You're sending over politicians, who are important. That can be seen as a conciliatory move to ease tensions with China. At the same time, it's not the government (meaning, in this case, the ruling party) who are involved in the visit, so there's no political legitimacy to it.
The money shot comes in the little blurb to the side...
Gentle reader, the "one country, two systems" system is an absolute joke, and China has used it to cover up the fact that they're suppressing democracy in Hong Kong and Macau. There is no such thing as a mixing of Communism and Democracy. They are diametrically opposed. It seems necessary to quote from Tacitus...
When a government exercises absolute control over the people, it is unacceptable for an example to exist within the very same nation of people who retain power and delegate it to elected leaders. The Chinese can't allow true democracy in Hong Kong, and haven't; anyone who believes that Taiwan would be any different is a fool.
Taiwan's main opposition party has begun its first visit to China since Communist forces defeated it and took power on the mainland in 1949.
The 30-member team of the Nationalist Party or Kuomintang (KMT) is being led by vice chairman Chiang Pink-kun.
Mr Chiang said the visit was aimed at easing tensions with Beijing.
China sees Taiwan as a breakaway province. Earlier this month, Beijing passed a law, allowing it use force to stop any Taiwanese independence moves.
"We hope to help ease cross-strait tensions to ensure people's well-being," said Mr Chiang, on arrival. "[We hope] to do what the government does not do and cannot do."

I have often heard him say that a single legion with a few auxiliaries could conquer and occupy Ireland, and that it would have a salutary effect on Britain for the Roman arms to be seen everywhere, and for freedom, so to speak, to be banished from its sight.
