PRC developed Hanyu Pinyin will be adapted as official romanization in Taiwan, your thoughts?

Is this another political move by pro-China KMT or an ernest step forward to have a globalized method to romanize Mandarin Chinese?
Answer
Firstly as a Chinese but NOT a mainlander, I would like to correct you about your understanding of Hanyu pinyin. Hanyu pinyin is NOT created by China but rather the Chinese worldwide created it with the intension to standardise the romanisation of Chinese characters. As many people have already claimed that Chinese is so and how difficult to learn, can you imagine how will the difficulty go if 100 or 1000 of different forms of romanisation exists everywhere?
Secondly, to see the good intention to adopt a standard system as a political move is rather unfair for anyone as if you are a Chinese speaker, you will understand how useful is the stadardised hanyu pinyin system to us. I'm also pretty sure that foreigneers are also very glad that they only have to use ONE system rather than seeing those 100 or 1000 different forms of romanisation everywhere and get themself so confused that they eventually gave up on learning Chinese.
Very ture indeed that hanyu pinyin is already a 'globalised method' from the fact that it exist where ever there are Chinese. We use hanyu pinyin in Singapore, China including Hong Kong, Australia, USA, Malaysia and many more countries where there are Chinese people... Taiwan's case is very special as I think one thing is got to do with the meanless politics-.- where they decided to refuse to use Hanyu pinyin but rather choose to keep the ancient system which we hardly use nowadays.
Nevertheless, when it comes to the 'real' Chinese language where Chinese characters are used instead of Hanyu pinyin, the Chinese that we use is all the same be it in Taiwan and China or other parts of the word. There is only difference between traditional and simplified Chinese characters. Many Chinese speakers can read the two forms of characters with ease so it is no a big issue.
In fact, other than the fact that children use hanyu pinyin, the next group of people who uses it most frequently is foreigneers. Hence, shouldn't this be the best explanation to show the effort to ease the process of learning the Chinese language for everyone?
Well, we are not here to discuss about politics, which is also something we outsiders cannot interfere. It will take days to explain the Chinese history and the differences in ideologies between China and Taiwan to get a full idea of what causes this existing conflict. Language wise, Chinese is afterall the language of ALL Chinese worldwide. I am glad that we have such an organised system for us to present the romanise version of our language to the world. In my opinion, the development of Hanyu pinyin has nothing to do with politics but merely an effort to be more organise for the benefit of the Chinese language learners.
