在“台独”分子看来,2008年北京奥运会为其“台独”活动的政治豪赌提供了一个难得的历史机遇,因为奥运前后大陆肯定会在所有问题上保持高度忍耐和克制。正所谓“鱼”和“熊掌”不可兼得。但这只不过是台湾当局一厢情愿,他们大大低估了中央政府反分裂的决心和行动的灵活性。 In the view of “Taiwan's independence ” elements, the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games provided a rare historical opportunity for the political gambling of its “Taiwan's independence ” campaign because the mainland will surely maintain a high degree of patience and restraint on all issues before and after the Olympic Games. The so-called “fish” and “bear's paw” can not have both. However, this is only the wishful thinking of the Taiwan authorities. They have greatly underestimated the flexibility and determination of the Central Government in resolving the separatism.
