Leaders of Taiwan and Mainland China had a surprise today for the rest of the world. They're about to meet — for the first time in history. In 1949, Mao Zedong's Communist forces defeated Nationalist leader Chiang Kai-sheck, who established the island of Taiwan as his capital. There have been "Two Chinas" ever since. Saturday, the Presidents of those countries have agreed to a meeting in Singapore. Peter Navarro is a professor at the University of California at Irvine and author of the recent book, Crouching Tiger: What China's Militarism Means for the World.
