Like cats and dogs sleeping together

In a move that has left most people scratching their heads, Taiwanese President Chen Shui-bian told an opposition leader Thursday that he would not shut the door on eventual unification with rival China. WHAT?!? Since Chiang Kai-shek's took his Republic of China (ROC) government and fled mainland China for Taiwan in 1949 relations between the two nations has been tense to say the least. China has long maintained ownership of Taiwan. Chiang Kai-shek said basically same to you buddy and took the position that his was the one true government of China. For decades U.S. recognition of Taiwan has been a bone of contention in U.S. - China relations.

Definitely bears watching.
