US says Beijing ought to talk to Chen

[dArKeR]

The White House on Wednesday called on China to deal directly with President Chen Shui-bian (???) rather than talk only to Taiwan's opposition leaders, in a statement glaringly at odds with statements from the State Department supporting opposition trips to China.

But it was unclear whether the two statements reflected a rift among US policymakers regarding the trip to China by Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Chairman Lien Chan (??) and the upcoming trip by People First Party Chairman James Soong (???).

"We hope that this is the start of Beijing finding new ways to reach out to President Chen and his Cabinet," White House press secretary Scott McClellan told reporters at his daily press briefing. "Because any long-term solution can only be found if Beijing negotiates with the duly elected leadership in Taiwan."

1. MAC welcomes White House's support

The Mainland Affairs Council (MAC) yesterday welcomed a White House statement calling on Beijing to find ways of reaching out to President Chen Shui-bian (???) and his Cabinet, as Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Chairman Lien Chan (??) prepared for talks with Chinese President Hu Jintao (???).

Remarking that Washington has been following developments in the region very closely, White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan said in a press conference on Wednesday that the US believes diplomacy is the only way to resolve the cross-strait dilemma.

Commenting on Lien's trip to China, McClellan said the White House hopes that "this is the start of Beijing finding new ways to reach out to President Chen and his Cabinet, because a long-term solution can only be found if Beijing negotiates with the duly elected leadership in Taiwan."

2. Chen must beware the `prisoner's dilemma'

People often seek security through means which challenge the security of others. An even worse scenario is created when the pursuit of self-interest by the individual leads to a poor outcome for all.

The classical "prisoner's dilemma" is based on the idea of two accomplices to a crime being arrested and each offered their freedom in return for testifying against the other. Each party has two choices, namely cooperate with each other or confess to the authorities. Each must decide without knowing what the other will do. No matter what the other does, defection yields a higher payoff than cooperation.

When it comes to recent cross-strait dynamics, a "prisoner's dilemma" occurred when leaders of the pan-blue camp kept knocking on China's door and left President Chen Shui-bian's (???) administration in a dire situation. All four parties in the game -- Chen, Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Chairman Lien Chan (??), People First Party Chairman James Soong (???) and Chinese President Hu Jintao (???) -- have tried to take advantage of the others' weaknesses while maximizing their own interests, regardless of the ultimate consequences for all.
