Taiping Island is the largest island of the Spratly Islands in the area, in the early years has been the life of a fisherman of China's Hainan base, is of great economic, resource value and strategic significance.
Taiwan's former "legislator" Chou Yi, 1999, Lee Teng-hui to carry out their "Taiwan independence", want to dilute the South China Sea "sovereignty" by the establishment of the "Executive Yuan Coast Guard Administration, indicating that the" Defense Minister Tang Fei will Taiping Island to the newspaper The regular army to withdraw on the island of Taiwan, reassignment with maritime police officers and men of the "Coast Guard" 105 stationed, with the exception of five regular officers and soldiers to guard the radar and weather stations. Chen Shui-bian trying to take advantage of the South China Sea in 2005 provoked the tense relations between the two sides built a simple runway of 1200 meters in the Pacific island and take in February 2008 C130 transport aircraft landed at Taiping Island. Ma Ying-jeou took office, in the face of Vietnam's eyeing, reassignment with Marine Tactical Training in 2011 the Coast Guard officers and men stationed while and enhance the island defense weaponry.
According to Taiwan media reports, "the Government" by the National Security Council, "direct co-ordinate the various" ministries "to form in response to the ad hoc group in the South China Sea, Ma Ying-jeou has personally presided over the South China Sea policy meeting in November 2011.

In addition, the Taiwan military also sent warships to the delivery of university teachers and students to go to Taiping Island "Summer".
Chou Yi said that Taiwan is currently in the maintenance of the Pacific Island "sovereignty" There are three specific ideas: First, to extend the runway 1500-1800 m to become a shared military and civilian airport, to strengthen the military, economic and tourism value. The second is to increase the combat capability of the garrison on the island, 40 cannon and 120 mortars, and even sent a formal Marine Corps and Coast Guard officers and men of common defense. Renovation of the original is a very simple and terminals, so that vessels can be moored, and the development of tropical rainforest on the island, building a "Peace Park" as a tourist base. Even well-known large enterprises would also like to build processing plants on the island, and the further implementation of the South China Sea oil exploration.
Taiwan's "Minister of the Interior," Hong-Yuan Lee also confirmed that on July 14, "Interior" is actively handle the basic data survey and base map data mapping of the South China Sea islands and reefs, and to monitor the situation of the natural environment, cultural activities and the use of development of important reefs, for relevant agencies of the waters of the situation, and as a reference and basis for future deliberations delineation of the Spratly Islands territorial sea baseline.
Ruling and opposition parties refused to cooperate with the mainland to protect coastal areas and territorial seas
South China Sea islands, the nation's territory, the face of the neighboring countries of provocation and the United States to meddle in cross-strait people of insight are explored and called for cross-strait cooperation to protect coastal areas and territorial seas.
July 10, "the Tenth Strait, South China Sea Conference held in Haikou, on Hainan Island. Strait more than 50 experts and scholars from the South China Sea for the first time issued a "common views". Design of cross-strait cooperation roadmap in the South China Sea to the "common opinion" that can follow the easy things first, the progressive steps in academic research, personnel exchanges, scientific investigation, marine environmental protection, oil and gas resource development, marine pollution treatment, sea search and rescue, conservation of fisheries resources, emergency assistance, and maintenance of navigation safety aspects of pragmatic cooperation.
Attending the South China Sea, dean of Terry S. Ng, said in a media interview, both sides of the strait there are some differences in the political, but the South China Sea is the common interests of the Chinese nation where this understanding is the same. Head of the Taiwan delegation, Professor Fu-Kuo Liu, National Chengchi University in Taiwan, Vietnam, the Philippines and other neighboring countries in the South China Sea oil exploration and development violated China's sovereignty, these crises need to face together the two sides, the cross-strait cooperation is an inevitable trend. Terry S. Ng deposit and Liu States suggests that, as soon as possible to cross-strait cooperation matters in the South China Sea Naru Hai Association, SEF negotiation mechanism.
Chou Yi told this newspaper that the cross-strait cooperation from Taiping Island in the South China Sea, Vietnam, the Philippines and other foreign powers in the military together to resist the more common in the economic development of the ecological resources and the exploitation of undersea oil and gas, which can effectively resolve the Taiwan oil and gas dependence on imported oil price volatility caused by grievances and other problems.
However, Taiwan's "Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mainland Affairs Council, and Ma Ying-jeou I repeatedly and openly declared in the South China Sea Islands and Diaoyu Islands issue, will not cooperate with the mainland. July 14 by the Taiwan authorities senior re-emphasized that Taiwan "government" to deal with the South China Sea issue will continue to strive for "multilateral dialogue mechanism", but not the mainland "cooperation".
DPP Chairman Su Tseng-chang, also said the meeting with U.S. Ambassador to China Huntsman in Taiwan on July 17, the South China Sea issue, the DPP has advocated peaceful negotiations, rather than on the same side against the other sound cable States and China.
Taiwan's strategic consideration of sorts?
Intends to expand the Taiping Island airport, lengthening the runway, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Philippines on the 16th based on "one China" policy, and negotiations with mainland China on Taiwan. Hong Kong's Ta Kung Pao, "recently published review article said that" two sides, though still a state of separation, but the two sides have reached that reflects the 'one' connotation '1992 consensus', in other words, for the South China Sea Islands are Chinese territory, the two sides the same position. laid an important prerequisite to both sides to strengthen cooperation in the South China Sea. "
Why Taiwan's ruling and opposition parties is unwilling to co-operate with the mainland it? Served in the DPP's Mainland Affairs Department, Taiwan China University of Technology, "said Dr. package Chunliang an interview with the Herald in Taiwan reporters on the current international situation, Taiwan public collaboration with the mainland will allow the United States, Japan and other countries unhappy, strategic choice, "Taiwan can not choose the US-Japan clash, after all, or in the United States under the protection of". Ma authorities bottom line is that "no conflict" with the United States, that Su Tseng-chang Why do "bad guys" to offend the United States?
Xiamen University's Taiwan Research Institute Professor Sun Yun in an interview with the Herald reporter also pointed out that the United States to return to the Asia-Pacific, and Vietnam, the Philippines and other countries have military interaction, the U.S. does not want Taiwan's involvement in the Chinese mainland and ASEAN dispute, while Taiwan authorities for the scruples of the United States, and naturally will not be too positive on this issue. In addition, Sun Yun pointed out that the "positive" Another reason is that the South China Sea issue is not the horse was an urgent need to solve the problem, "the people on the island have not yet felt the threat of the South China Sea issue, the DPP's' anti- 'position has not changed to contain, by the Democratic Progressive Party, Ma authorities of the South China Sea issue as a pressing issue to deal with ".
The Hsinchuang Homeland Professor of Xiamen University, Nanyang Research Institute, said in an interview with the Herald reporter, currently the largest dispute in the South China Sea Spratly Islands, the Pacific Island and Nansha top priority, Taiwan intends to expand the airport in the Pacific island, which has its own stance on the Taiwan authorities in the South China Sea sovereignty in a timely manner when necessary to make the move to maintain "sovereignty". The reason why co-operation with the mainland, because the South China Sea issue is actually an international problem, which have been eager to expand the international space of Taiwan at this time do not want to follow the rhythm of the continent. Especially the South China Sea, the relationship between the main force of the play in mainland China, Taiwan is also inconvenient to act as "pioneer", and it would be the basic attitude of the Taiwan authorities in the South China Sea issue.
