Taiwan’s President Rejects China’s ‘Domestic Flights’ Demand

China and Taiwan are negotiating the opening of cross-strait air routes, but Taiwanese President Chen Shui-Bian has rejected China's assertion that the flights should be categorized as "domestic." This disagreement represents the last stumbling block in establishing what Taiwan refers to as the "three links" of opening trade, postal, and transport relations with the mainland. Additionally, Chen would like to push forward with his "three normalizations" and "four reforms," which concern cross-strait relations and restructuring the Taiwanese government. - YaleGlobal
