Ever since 1949, the Republic of China, an exiled government hiding out in the country of Taiwan which obtained administration after Taiwan's limbo cession, has been asserting its claims over several islands and the whole of China. This is not only dumb but I think also a total waste of time. The Republic's MOFA formally issued a statement stating that it reco...

There's Taiwan, in the far east, and then there's India, a subcontinent that crashed into Asia some time ago. You might not think that Taiwan has anything to do with India, but surprisingly, the Indians have been supportive of Taiwan, even going to support Taiwan UN membership bid. Even though Taiwan (At the time under Chiang Kai Shek) lo...

Ever since the KMT won over the DPP last election in Taiwan, people have been blaming Chen Shui Bian's (陳水扁) bad reputation, however, I beg to differ. I think it's because the KMT looks more appealing to businessmen in Taiwan. Why? Because they are more global. By saying "more global," I mean "only focusin...

Are we Chinese? True, our blood does not change, but does the condition of blood affect the mind of the human? It is something a mainlander would never understand; they have been living in China forever. I imagine that the first Han people on Taiwan would have called themselves Chinese, called China their home. They thought that Taiwan was merely a stopping point. They tho...

The world is coming to an end. Taiwan's stock market dropped from a 9000 to a 4200 in one year. According to Taipei Times, in 2008 Taiwan's stock market stripped off 3900 points, and Taiwan fell from 23 largest economy to 24th. The DOW Industrials has fallen to a 6800 - a more than 50% drop. Wherever we look, we see negative GDPs and signs that global economies are falling. However, China, who recently adopted capitalist markets after years of communist reign, is quickly gaining on Ameri...

After the Republic of China was defeated in the Chinese Civil War by the communists, the government of the ROC was expelled to China. Many argue that the ROC government is illegitimate, however, in 1979, the Republic of China reformed under president Chiang Ching Kuo who began the long process of "Taiwanization" that replaced many mainland Chinese ROC politicians with natural born Taiwanese citizens, therefore, the governing state of ROC on Taiwan is not a foreign government but a Taiwanese ...

Taiwan and the USA have been connected in many ways ever since 1949, and both have many similarities. Both were the underdogs, battling powerful enemies, and both are Democratic. Taiwan's safety relies heavily on the US, and ever since the ROC moved to Taiwan, the USA has been helping Taiwan by sending in the 7th fleet and selling weapons to Taiwan. However, USA remains one of the countri...

In Taiwan, it is a time of political turmoil. Taiwan, a country divided over eventual reunification with a democratic China, or complete and official separation from it's "mother" China which threatens to turn Taiwan into a blown up desert. There are many political parties in Taiwan, but the two main parties are KMT and DPP. DPP's path is clear: Screw China, Taiwan in...

America, a sign of democracy, power, peace, hope, and greatness. Yet, in the past years, dislike for the only superpower in the world has grown. Americans have been looked upon with hatred, for their interference with Iraq, and overall, their democratic ways and virtues. I for one, love America. America is still a great country, and...
