I think it's good to have dialogue with your largest neighbor. And China and Taiwan do have so many cultural, personal and emotional links to each other. So it's good to have a good dialogue with China. But where you are going is not that clear to everyone. I think to have progress is not necessarily a goal in itself.
People say there is no progress, so people say that's bad.
I am not making a statement myself. I am raising a question. Making progress is only important when you are going in the direction you want to go. I don't think there is any consensus on what you want. That argument is only partially true.
