FG ReHo: 'Why shouldn't Taiwan be a country?'

'Why shouldn't Taiwan be a country?' asks Japan's RenHo
China Post, Taiwan - Aug 16
RenHo, the first Japanese parliamentary member of Taiwanese origin, said...
"Japan's foreign policy, which dictates that Taiwan is not a country, is a little out of touch," she said. "Taiwan is my dad's country. Why shouldn't it be called a country?"
The 36-year-old TV anchorwoman-turned-parliamentarian was born to a Taiwanese father and a Japanese mother. She was naturalized as a Japanese national in 1985 and visited Taiwan twice early this year to cover news related to the March 20 presidential election. . ...

After seeing what has happened in Hong Kong I am more likely to believe that someday Taiwan will someday re-unite with the Mainland. Only thing is, I doubt that it will be as "Taiwan, a Province of China."

It would be more likely that Taiwan will be granted special status and be called something like "Taiwan, an autonomous Region of China" with its own president, government, and status. There are too many roadblocks to making Taiwan a province of China, so I would think that another solution would be possible.

As a long time F'd Taiwan Gaijin (Waiguoren), I hope that someday both nations will settle this dispute in a peaceful way. China deserves the 21st century after so many years of decline, civil war, and foreign invasion. And China along with Taiwan will surpass most other world economies by mid-century.........that is as long as nothing occurs to spoil it.

Doesn't china have enough land mass?? Why do they feel the need to continually expand... Tibet, Hong Kong, Taiwan... Taiwan should be an independent country if the citizens of Taiwan so choose.

That said, China will more than likely get its way... and Taiwan will be brought into the fold. My question is when if ever, will democracy eventually make its way into China?

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming...

Are you kidding? The PRC has screwed that up so bad, they've got Hong Kong people screaming for democracy. In response, the PRC sends in a flotilla as a "morale lifter".

Taiwan will become a part of China the day the Communist party is out of power on the mainland. I highly doubt the Taiwanese want the same fate (and the slowly eroding economic and security situation) of PRC's Hong Kong.

(This is coming from someone who has lived in neither country, and only goes by what is printed in the papers and second-hand conversations).

China Holds Candidate From Hong Kong on Prostitution Charge
An already heated election campaign for the legislature here took an unexpected turn on Tuesday with an announcement by the Democratic Party that one of its candidates had been arrested in mainland China on charges of soliciting a prostitute and had been sentenced without trial to six months in detention


The candidate, Alex Ho, was arrested Thursday at a hotel room in Dongguan and held without access to a lawyer or to family members until he signed a confession that he had hired the prostitute, said Fred Li, a senior Democratic Party member of the Legislative Council.

Device Null, it would have been different if you had provided translation.

Remember we speak English and Japanese here and even those that write in japanese put a translation up for those whose J-skills aren't as good.

As far as I'm concerned Taiwan is the only thing that remotely resembles the real China.
People should start calling the PRC "Mainland of China", of course with "of" being the operative word.

Yeah I know what you mean, and many of the folks in Taiwan would also view the Beijingers as a bunch of commie hijackers that stole their real China

Postby james » Sat Nov 25, 2006 1:21 pm

friend of mine in canada will be going there with his taiwanese wife and their infant son (i sincerely wish him a happy flight over. nothing says nutbar like transpacific flights with infants and toddlers).

anyway, i'll be visiting there for about five days or maybe a week in february. not sure yet whether this will be before or after the chinese new year.

any advice for a FG visiting taiwan for the first time?

Yeah just treat it like a normal holiday and enjoy yourself


However unless you enjoy bar-room brawls don't get into a pub-chat about politics cos there are a lot of freaks in Taipei (Taiepi is filled with leftist commies, ultra-nationalists, japanophile nuts, loony rightists...these types nuts are everywhere in Taipei)

The Dutch brought in Chinese laborers as migrant workers. for the sugar plantations and rice fields. They usually came for a few years (without family) and then returned to China. Eventually, more settled, and married aborigine wives. Thus a new race was born: the Taiwanese.

A what? Sounds like they have their own equivalence of Nihonjiron.
