Is the enemy of the KMT's enemy really its friend?

[dArKeR]

The newly forged reconciliation between former foes the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), a political friendship that is soon to be sealed with the highest-level meeting between the two parties in over 50 years, demonstrates the idiom that your enemy's enemy is your friend, analysts said yesterday.
But in this case, it is unclear whether enemies at home remain enemies abroad, for the opposition parties have been defiant in the face of accusations that they have inappropriately taken state affairs into their own hands. Instead, they claim to be doing what the government has not or cannot do.

In fact, KMT Chairman Lien Chan's (??) planned trip to China has been touted by the party as a "journey of peace," and as such one that will bring a breakthrough in relations with China. The Chinese-language daily China Times reported yesterday that Lien plans to request, during his meeting with Chinese President Hu Jintao (???), the withdrawal of missiles aimed at Taiwan, World Health Organization (WHO) membership for Taiwan, and the lifting of travel bans on Chinese tourists in Taiwan. The report said that Hu is slated to give Lien a clear response during the meeting.
