China’s inflexible position has drawn wide criticism across political lines in Taiwan. As a cross-strait economic and cultural forum will soon be held in Changsha, Hunan Province, I urge the government to place “equal cross-strait academic exchanges” on the agenda and Academia Sinica to insist on the principle of equality and suggest that the CASS reconsider its position. We demand equal academic exchanges with China lest such exchanges widen the existing gulf between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.
