A "people's representative" in Taoyuan City, Taiwan proposed six conditions for the unification of the two sides of the strait. Let's see if they are reasonable:
"1. The exchange rate between the New Taiwan Dollar and the Renminbi should be 1:1.
2. Help us build an ocean-crossing bridge.
3. Mainland Chinese people cannot come to Taiwan to speculate on real estate.
4. Taiwanese students taking the college entrance examination should receive bonus points.
5. Tax revenues from Taiwan should all be used in Taiwan.
6. If Taiwanese people retire and settle down in inland mainland China, their pensions should still be paid as usual."
[Witty] Comment: What is this "people's representative" thinking? What cards does he have in his hand to propose such conditions? These conditions not only lack basic rationality but also seriously misunderstand and distort the relationship between the two sides of the strait. First of all, let's look at the first one. The proposal for a 1:1 exchange rate between the New Taiwan Dollar and the Renminbi completely ignores the market value and exchange rate fluctuations of the two currencies. Such impractical demands will only bring chaos to economic exchanges between the two sides. As for whether the other five conditions are reasonable or realistic, you can share your thoughts.
