碩士 === 淡江大學 === 大陸研究所碩士在職專班 === 91 === In terms of the Mainland policy in the early stage, such as Fighting-back and Recovering China, China Unification by the Three Principles of the People, Three-no’s Policy, China Unification by freedom, democracy, and equality, the lifting of martial laws, National Unification Guidelines, and refraining rapid and endurance policy, KMT as a ruling party had played an important role in the formulation and execution of Mainland policy. The title of thesis is “The KMT´s Mainland Policy:1987∼2002” from policy factors to analysis and task of classification, which during last two Chiang Presidents, ex-president Lee Teng-Hui, and chairman of KMT, Lien Chan intends to take a further research on Chinese Communist Party, international relations, and Taiwan’s political environment and to examine the changing nature of KMT’s Mainland policy, its advantage and disadvantage, and whether or not DDP has the similar point of views. After President Chiang Ching-Kuo announcing the policy of visiting China for the family gathering purpose in 1987, it has started civil exchange between Taiwan and China. After President Lee Teng-Hui lifted martial laws in 1991, the negotiation channel between Taiwan Straits has been builded. In 1991, Taiwanese government issued ‘National Unification Guidelines’ which directs the Mainland policy. In 1993, the Ku Wang’s Talk was taken place in Singapore. In 1994, ‘An Explanation of Taiwan Strait Relationship’ was promulgated by setting up a policy framework of ‘One China but two Political Reality’ to guide Taiwan Strait Relationship. Nevertheless, the honeymoon between two authorities had gone after the Thousand Lake Event in 1994 that has downgraded the relationships. President Lee Teng-Hui responded to ‘Chiang’s Eight Points’ in 1995 by proposing ‘Lee’s Six Rules’ shortly before he visited U.S. However, it brought about a tension between Taiwan Straits in May of the same year. Even though there was a ‘Ku Wang’s Talk’ in Shanghai in 1998, President Lee proposed ‘Special relationship between counties’ as the orientation of two strait relationships. Again, it caused a tension between two sides in July 1999. Nevertheless, after Lien Chan has succeeded to the Chairman of KMT, he hopes to adjust refraining rapid and endurance policy and proposes ‘Smile Curve trading theory’ to thrive trading between straits. Based on ‘the 92 Common View’, he also looks forward to creating a win-win situation in terms of political negotiation. The best strategy is to maintain the current situation of Taiwan by focusing on ‘the 92 Common View’ and ‘One China with different Status’. KMT has well-established and macro discourses on China policy and good experiences of military confrontation with Chinese Communist. In the issue of Taiwan straits, it insists on the doctrine of ‘the middle way’, with no anxious for unifification or independence and the changeable or the unchangeable. In contrast of DDP government, there are many issues with the same view between straits. In the relationship of straits, it can play a role of experience teaching and buffer zone. After research, it can be found that inside of Taiwan in opposing of unified and independent can be risk to Taiwan people. KMT needs to take a step forward to understand what people need: the government should deal with possible and potential issues resulted from civil exchanges and economic investments between straits, and should not ‘overestimate’ American’s goodwill.
