In principle, the Taiwan issue need not lead to conflict. With increasing change in China and growing economic and social contacts across the strait, it should be possible to find a formula that allows the Taiwanese to maintain their market economy and democratic system without a placard at the UN.
在原则上，台湾问题并不一定导致冲突。中国日益变革，海峡两岸经济和社会交往增多，应该有可能找到一种让台湾在没有联合国席位的情况下保持其市场经济和民主制度的方式。
