Tsai Wei, assistant researcher in the International Relations Research Center of National Chengchi University, said that people on the political scene in Beijing have predicted that the right to decide policy vis a vis the PRC will be used to win votes. Therefore, for the sake of electoral victory at the end of the year, the KMT may have to restart negotiations.
政治大學國際關係研究中心副研究員蔡瑋更指出，北京政學界人士曾預測，今後台灣朝野政黨唯有以競相搶奪對大陸政策主導權的方式來爭取選票，因此為了年底選舉勝利，國民黨恐怕也必須盡早恢復兩岸會談。
