There are few countries in Asia which have a more open political system than Taiwan. Martial law was lifted in 1987. People raised their heads, dusted themselves off and started to get on with life. Many political parties have emerged. Taiwan independence is always a 'back burner' issue. Officially the present ruling party, the Democratic Progressive Party, is committed to holding a referendum on independence. However, the fast growing two-way trade between Taiwan and the mainland dampens enthusiasm for rocking the boat.
