摘要

在陳水扁當選中華民國第十任總統之後，兩岸關係進入一個前所未有的新階段。由於陳先生代表民進黨執政，其大陸政策格外受人矚目。雖然陳先生堅稱，除非中共動武，否則不會宣布台獨，也不會公投入憲，而且很願意著手進行「三通」，並準備與中共對話，以維持台海的和平；他並聲稱，「一個中國」祇要不是原則，而當作一個「議題」，則「一個中國」也可以討論。陳水扁的「中國政策」雖在兩岸定位上有李登輝「兩國論」的影子，然而，其具體政策則有一定的開放性。祇要中共能以新思維來調整其對台政策，則新總統的大陸政策仍有相當的空間。

並列摘要

Democratic Progressive Party's presidential candidate, Mr. Chen Shui-bian, was elected the President of the Republic of China on March 18, 2000. During the transition period, Mainland China will watch closely the president-elect Mr. Chen's orientation toward cross-strait relations. Mr. Chen softened his stance on independence during the presidential campaign, saying he would only call a referendum if Mainland China should attack Taiwan. In his ”China Policy White Paper”, Mr. Chen declared that he would improve the strained relations with Mainland China and that maintain peace across the Taiwan Strait. Mr. Chen said that he would carry out full and constructive talks with Mainland China. ”If 'one China' is not a prerequisite for talks, then it can be a topic for cross-strait talks,” emphasized Mr. Chen. He even suggested that under the premises of national security and national interest, he would negotiate a peace agreement and end the ban on direct transportation, postal, and trade barrier. In addition, Mr. Chen reiterated that Taiwan would never accept the Mainland China's ”one China” principle or ”one country, two systems” formula as a solution to cross-strait disputes. On the other hand, Mainland Chinese leaders remain highly skeptical about Mr. Chen on account that his party is inclined toward independence for Taiwan. Chinese Premier Zhu Rongji for one stressed that Beijing would never negotiate with parties that advocate independence for the island.
Only when Beijing displays new-thinking toward Taiwan would both sides pursue peace across the Taiwan Strait.
