A very touching video to me personally. Focuses on how Chinese officials suppress Taiwanese even in the sporting arena. (The video starts with Chinese rep forcefully taking down Taiwanese flag from Taiwanese athletes after the athletes wins the competition). The remark that the Chinese official made after UN meeting was also shocking, “You guys [Taiwan] has already been denied, and nobody cares about you.”

I am usually not a pro-independence person, nor pro-unification. I believe in whatever happens, as long as it happens peacefully, I can accept that. But after these kind of remarks and actions that a lot of mainland Chinese (officials or not) makes, I’d rather to separated from them.

So Taiwanese policy blows, but recent events with internet search engine companies are no better. First Yahoo! sold out one of their users to the Communist Chinese government, so somebody is now jailed for 10 years just by writing emails to others expressing his point-of-view. is Yahoo! Chinese owned or US owned?

On the other hand, Google has decided to kiss Communist Chinese’ Red ass by labeling “Taiwan, a province of China” on Google Map. This is my theory for the world in the next few years: The avian flu will outbreak in Asia, kill millions of people. Just when they are trying to contain the virus, Taiwan will be left alone because: 1. They are not part of UN, 2. They are not part of WHO, 3. China will threaten other countries from helping Taiwan (as they have done for SARS), simply because they think Taiwan is a province of China. Taiwan is just an international orphan, pay them no attention.

Looking back to the US, things aren’t any better. First Bush nominated his personal lawyer for many years to become the next Justice. A person who has been a corporate lawyer for many years, who have never been a judge before, but is: 1. A woman, 2. Extremely loyal to Bush. On to other people in the administration, Majority Leader DeLay (R, TX) was indicted for something I don’t care but is apparently badly enough that even a Texan would indict him.

Bennett (Former Republican Education Secretary) is under under attack for the statement he made:

I do know that it’s true that if you wanted to reduce crime, you could — if that were your sole purpose, you could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down. That would be an impossible, ridiculous, and morally reprehensible thing to do, but your crime rate would go down.

He later defended himself by saying, “I’m not racist, and I’ll put my record up against theirs.” I am sorry mister, doesn’t matter how “impossible, ridiculous, and morally reprehensible” it is, you still are stating every black kid will grow up to be criminals. This is what you should’ve said, “you could abort every baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down.”

Oh, so back to President Bush, apparently this is what he said:

God would tell me, George, go and fight those terrorists in Afghanistan. And I did, and then God would tell me, George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq… And I did.

And now, again, I feel God’s words coming to me, Go get the Palestinians their state and get the Israelis their security, and get peace in the Middle East. And by God I’m gonna do it.

Get peace in the Middle East? Have you heard of Make Love, not War? Send some love over there, not troops. Save the money for the needies in the US, not over there. Save the money for education, employeement, disaster relief. Build stronger levies, build bigger bridges, build some alternative source of energies. And oh, in case you haven’t heard, the US employeement rate is slipping – again.

After listening it I am totally speechless. All that I can say is, why the **** did we vote Bush as the president and not this guy?

Clinton nearly got impeached for making love. What should Bush get for making war?

McClellan – September 29, 2003: “The President has set high standards, the highest of standards for people in his administration. He’s made it very clear to people in his administration that he expects them to adhere to the highest standards of conduct. If anyone in this administration was involved in it, they would no longer be in this administration.”

Bush – September 30, 2003: “I don’t know of anybody in my administration who leaked classified information. If somebody did leak classified information, I’d like to know it, and we’ll take the appropriate action.”

McClellan – October 7, 2003: “Let me answer what the President has said. I speak for the President and I’ll talk to you about what he wants.” and “If someone leaked classified information, the President wants to know. If someone in this administration leaked classified information, they will no longer be a part of this administration, because that’s not the way this White House operates, that’s not the way this President expects people in his administration to conduct their business.”

Bush – June 10, 2004: Responded to media question referring to “anybody who leaked the agent’s [Valerie Plame's] name” and then asked the President “do you stand by your pledge to fire anyone found to have done so,” to which the President responded “Yes. And that’s up to the U.S. Attorney to find the facts.”

Bush – July 18, 2005: “If someone committed crime, they will no longer work in my administration.”

It talks about how important Taiwan is in the global market, and why the peace between China and Taiwan is so important.

Next week, China’s governing body, the National People’s Congress, will deliver its counter to the pro-independence campaign by passing an anti-secession law or, as Taiwan prefers to call it, an anti-separation law. The actual wording of the law won’t be known until it is approved by the Congress, which does the Communist Party’s bidding, but this has caused no end of angst and consternation on the island. On Tuesday, for example, Taiwan announced that its military exercises this year will include training for street battles in the event of an attack by China. (Source)

So has China not learned its lesson? Back in 1996 when Taiwan was electing their first president, China decided to make Taiwanese scared of ever thinking about declaring independence by launching missles into Taiwan Strait (Source). Result? Making Taiwanese mad enough that those who were pro-reunification decided to change their mind.

In 2000, when Taiwan was electing their second president, China decided to take it easier this time. They only used verbal threat, with the same result. President Chen Shui-Bien didn’t win because he was more qualified, he didn’t win because he had a better agenda, he didn’t win because of where he stand. The reason why he was elected was because China specified that electing him would result in China use force to take over Taiwan.

So long has the Taiwanese lived in fear of getting into war with China. No sane person in Taiwan wants a war, especially with their neighbor who happened to have missles pointed at them. The daily threats has turned into annoying buzzing sound that nobody really pays attentions to. Like Master Yoda said, “Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering.” We are done with fear, and anger stage is pretty much over.

For the past few years I thought China has done an outstanding job in both politics and economics. In comparison with the corrupted government of Taiwan, I was actually predicting reunification within 10 years. I believed that the Taiwanese goverment was so corrupted that it will just collapse on itself with all its deficeit. And all that China has to do is do well on the economics, attract more Taiwanese business over there, and eventually they’ll be reunited.

Now the anti-secession law has caused quite a ripple, and Taiwan is already planning on opposition laws. One bad move on China? I’d say so. How they can change? I don’t know. If they back-out on the law now, they would lose their face. If they continue on with the law, it will prolong the road to reunification. Only time will tell.

The new $2,568,000,000,000 budget for 2006 will fund training liars so the free world will strike Iran after they are done practicing, more over, R&D for weapon of not-so-mass destruction so they will free the Middle East with just some minor genocides that will soon be called a victory.

Taiwan has not been invited to a summit of major donors to the relief operation in the wake of the tsunami which devastated countries around the Indian Ocean on Dec. 26.

This is in spite of Taiwan’s being one of top 10 donors of aid, having pledged US$50 million to the relief effort.

While the Ministry of Foreign Affairs told the Indonesian government which is hosting the summit that it would like to attend, Jakarta didn’t even bother to reply.

Not to be mean to Indonesia or anything, but what the heck are they thinking? For so long Taiwan has supported a lot country that’s in need of aids, but all they get is talk-to-the-hand. Why must everything be politics? What about humanity?

So which is it?
