Q: Yet many people feel that, for example, the "little three links" are not very successful because mainland China is not willing to have negotiations with Taiwan. At the end of this year both Taiwan and China will join the WTO, so there should be direct talks between Taiwan and China. But if China doesn't really want to have negotiations, do you think American think tanks can be helpful?
問：台灣有許多人認為「小三通」不成功是因為中共不願意配合，如今兩岸加入 WTO、直接「三通」的時間在即，美國智庫可以在此時幫助兩岸政府建立互信、重啟一軌對話？
