[[alternative]]Research on Cross Taiwan Strait Relations on Integration Theory－Based on European Union Experience

[[abstract]]In the first half part of 20th century, there were two world wars. Both China and Europe had been suffered the bitterness of cruelty as killing and damage. After 1945, followed a temporary peace, in 1949 a new nation－The People’s Republic of China were given birth to the world. Since then China has been divided to two parts across Taiwan Strait. There are the Republic of China founded in 1912, and the People’s Republic of China founded in 1949 co-exists in the world. After 30 years opposition in the area across Taiwan Strait came a period of hot communication for a decade, then another decade of warm economic relationship and cold political situation, this is a ”Dilemma”. In Europe after the 2nd World War, France and German decided to hold hands rather than fighting. Since 1951, from ECSC to EEC, six European countries, including France, German, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxemburg combined together and formed EC. Because of the spill-over effect, the EC enlarged from 6 to 10, to 12, to 15, to 25 countries, as a European Union. Can Taiwan and PROC have a win-win policy by copying the European Union experience of integration? In this study, there comes a conclusion: after a long term of economic communication both side of cross Taiwan Strait will get more and more depending on each other, and the political Authorities of both sides might getting to a common consensus for the best benefit of the people of Taiwan and PROC: A Greater China Common Market could be a mid-term target for this area. After the gap of social, culture, and political system getting smooth out, a political integration might be the next step.
