The article discusses several issues regarding the cross-strait relationship between Taiwan and China. It explores the factors that contribute to the increasing tensions across the Taiwan Strait, including the scheduled dual national elections in Taiwan and its decision to join the United Nations which evokes condemnation from Beijing, China and the U.S. for trying to change Taiwan's international status. It is argued that understanding the reason on the change in Taiwan's mood can enable Beijing and the U.S. to act wisely in order to make use of the opportunity to put triangular Taiwan Strait relationship on a declining tension.
