In my understanding, the case of TW is completely different from
that of Vietnam, North Korea, Nepal, etc. TW has historically,
culturally, politically, and geographically been part of China.
please take note tat the previous reply is to answer comacoma or
his view tat countries close to china have to be control by china.
Singapore has nothing to do with china or soverignity yet he claims
tat if we r close to them, then we will be atttacked or
threathened.
If Singapore is that close to mainland China, I cannot
imagine how can you achieve independence.
Even it broke off from the mainland due to civil wars in 1940s,
it had been acknowledged to be Chinese and part of China(as about
this point, even Jiang Kashi and his son did not deny it). From
this point of view, though the Jiangs were anti-communism, they
were still strongly petriotic in saying that they were Chinese, TW
was Chinese and TW was part of China.
Its true mah, Jiang used to be the head of the china, including
taiwan too. He lost the civil war so he retreated to taiwan. He say
he is part of china, but he probably meant himself (he is from
china too mah) or he intend to attack back central china
instead.
But about the current TW, Li Denghui and Chen Shuibian have
defiantly deviated from the policy, and thus betrayed TW and China.
What is more, in order to get TW seperated from China, they are
even licking the ass of America and Japan to trade for support from
the two. In this sense, Li and Chen are traitors, not only to China
as a nation, but also to the Jiangs.
practically speaking, taiwan has really no links with china
now... taiwan is under intense pressure since they can't go to WTO,
WHO not allowed to visit and other pressure tat forbid them to
integrate with the world body. All this pressure will ultimately
force them to declare independence, not integration.
So, can u understand that Mainland China's sovereignty and
reputation will also inevitably take the precedence when your PM
visited TW and hurt China?
I don't know wat is central china right to have taiwan.
Reputation get worse after an attack bah...
just an ending story for people who like aesop fable.
The wind and the sun cannot determine who has greater power over
men, and so they decide to test it out by betting which side can
make a traveller take off his poncho. The wind start first and he
became to start blowing hard at the man, hoping tat it will blow
the poncho away. He blow and he blow, but the man start to huddle
it tighter and tighter instead. No matter how hard he blows, he
cannot blow the poncho away. In the end the wind gives out and let
the sun have a try. The sun instead start to shine very brightly.
Son the man felt the intense heat and after some time, decide to
take off the poncho as the poncho make him hotter. Thus in the end,
the sun had won
Lesson learnt: Sometime diplomacy and soft tactics may work better
than hard edge method
