China vs Taiwan - Page 4

Yes, the US position is strange and is based mostly on money as usual. With regards to my country the Prime Minister chose to go with China for obvious economic reasons, I do not think the populous thinks much about it and could not really care. I believe people in most of the Western Hemisphere really do not understand just how big and powerful China really is: physically, militarily and economically.

After the Olympics I'm sure China will be attacking Taiwan again.

I think you are right there JB China is wanting its image to look nicer for the Olympics. As soon as they are over I am sure China will turn a hard nose back to getting what it calls a rebel state back under control.

Ma Ying-Jeou, Taiwan's new President, is pretty much the reason for the invigorated meetings. China is very happy to see the KMT return as the leading party of Taiwan as they are more pro-China. Ma Ying-Jeou had run on a platform of renewed China ties. Taiwan wants some of those Chinese investment dollars to land in her backyard. The DPP, previous President's party, is strongly for a free Taiwan and admissions into the UN, which as you can guess really didn't endear them to much to the Chinese government. The KMT does just about everything but pledge allegiance to China. They fall just short of saying that Taiwan should belong to China, but are far away from claiming total independance.
