Normalization between China and Taiwan on the Horizon?

When there’s so much going wrong with the world, good news often falls through the cracks. I was pleasantly surprised this morning when I read that the leaders of China and Taiwan met today. Chinese President Hu Jintao thanked Taiwan for Taiwanese relief aid following last month’s earthquake in Sichuan province and said "As long as both sides across the strait are concerned about each other and make exchanges with each other, a peaceful and stable development of relations across the strait can be expected."

I think that China is just sucking up to the international community. Taiwan has been a sticking point for quite some time, and with the upcoming Games, this could just be one of many moves on their part to make themselves look better. Only time will tell if they can affect a pertinent change, or just go back to the status quo after the summer.
