China urges UAE to stop official contacts with Taiwan

US is divided on this issue actually. Several politicians have been known to be pro-taiwan rather than China. However, the thing is, US has to openly declare its support for the one china policy, but we all know that they supply weapons to Taiwan too. Its trying to play two-way, but may find itself get burned in the end.

US sees China as a threat to its superpower status, as well as in the military. True, China may not have the sophiscated weapons US have, but its HUGE population worries US.

Haiz...Very few people know the real situation about Taiwan and China. Ever since the Democratic Progressive Party(DPP) came into power in the year 2000, everything is going downhill. Taiwan's unemployment rate is soaring. As a result their crime rate is also skyrocketing. Read here:

More and more Taiwanese are losing confidence in the current administration and are migrating elsewhere. Here's the related article:

Currently I am living in China. I have met lots of Taiwanese in Shanghai, Hangzhou, Guangzhou etc. The Taiwanese I met can be classified into 3 groups: students, white collar middle class and businessmen. Whenever I ask them the reasons for coming to mainland China, the answers they give me are always the same, which are:

1) We are sick and tired of the political struggles between the Pan-Green and Pan-Blue parties.

2) Taiwan's unemployment rate and costs of living are skyrocketing and we have no choice but to migrate elsewhere in search of a better life.

What does the above tells u of the reality of Taiwan? If Taiwan is indeed far more developed than China, why are so many Taiwanese fed up and pessimistic with Taiwan and prefer to migrate to China, USA, Australia and other places? Cool

Mainland China is already the 4th hottest destination for emigrating Taiwanese. Read here:

I am living in China right now. If China is an oppressive dictatotorship, why are there so many Americans and other foreigners migrating there to work and live despite the fact that they could be making more $$$ elsewhere? I have met lots of such foreigners in China. Here's an article about a young American lady who has been living in China for over a decade:

In fact according to her, Chinese society is more compassionate than US society! Wink

Just to quote what my korean friends always like to say" In China there is a place for everyone."

I am not at all surprised. Even in Singapore a country which started modernising a few decades earlier than PRC, there are so many such cases. Here are just a few examples:

http://www.singapore-window.org/sw02/021127sc.htm

http://www.singapore-window.org/sw02/020530hr.htm

For such a small country like Singapore, the number of human rights violation and political dissidents is quite scary. Francis Seow and Tang Liang Hong are still in exile. Look at these:

http://www.singapore-window.org/sw01/011124sf.htm

http://www.singapore-window.org/sw99/90501sc.htm

Yet not a single Singaporean has the guts to question why the government is doing these. Haizzz...

Seriously I think we should forget about Taiwan for a while and let us look at more pressing issues like the one in Kashmir. Do u know that Indian security forces are massacring civilians in the thousands over there? Look at these:

http://www.phrusa.org/research/torture/torink.html

http://www.hrw.org/reports/1999/kashmir/doda.htm

After reading the above links, I think that anyone with a conscience should rally behind the people of Kashmir and support their quest for independence. Here's an article about Yasin Malik, the leader behind the Kashmir independence movement.

I honestly feel that the problem of Kashmir deserves more attention than Taiwan. After all it is not as if the PRC is massacring the people of Taiwan but so many innocent lives were lost in Kashmir already.

The US Acknowledges the OCP not support- It's called ambuiguity Shocked

Many countries support the OCP for a chance to get into the PRC Market and if they step out ofline they get chastized by Big Brother Hu. That is why the PRC always forces the politicians make the OCP statement whenever they want to sign a deal.

There is no country called China today. There is the PRC and there is the ROC. Taiwan is a province of the ROC consisting of Taiwan, Penghu,Kinmen and Matsu.

The ROC is Independant of the PRC and the PRC has never had any jurisdiction over the ROC and it's citizens.
