The Wang-Koo Talks

It seems that if I am reading about Taiwan, Richard C Bush's name would inevitably crop up which I guess is unsurprising, given that Bush previously served as chairman of the board and managing director of the American Institute in Taiwan.

Anyway, in an article titled "Lee Teng-hui and Separatism", Bush noted that the then opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) raised questions about the direction of cross-strait relations.

"In the spring of 1993, for example, it criticized the government for the lack of transparency surrounding the Koo-Wang talks that were to be held in Singapore at the end of April. This challenge forced the government to limit the agenda of the talks to functional and technical issues."
