Drifting towards independence?

Or is Taiwan drifting towards confrontation? Now the opposition KMT party is moving towards a referendum policy in order to avoid being marginalized.

Meanwhile, the government is going with a 'hard sell' in an effort to become a UN member. Of course, they really do have to sort out if they are rejoining or joining. The former is out of the question as China has replaced Taiwan as the representative of the people of China. So, Taiwan needs to first state clearly that they are bidding to join in their own right as a separate nation and will make no claim to represent the people of mainland China.
