Support Taiwan's inclusion in the United Nations

[jeoujukid]

for those who recognize themselves as Taiwanese, I open my arm to welcome them. to be a Taiwanese means that they stay in Taiwan and help build Taiwan into a better place. Not to try to become one with a governement that controls free speech and media One that torture its citizen and sells their organ for profit.

i always respected and loved Taiwan. I really want to see Taiwan someday and i recently discovered Chthonic. I have never been a fan of black metal music and implementation of Asian musical folklore is pretty rare because most of the Asian folklore music doesn't fit heavy metal and rock standards but Chthnonic somehow has managed an amazing musical formula of extreme metal and Asian folklore music + history and mythology! This is so fkn awesome! Hail Chthonic! And all the best to Taiwan! \m/

The PRC's claim of owning Taiwan is based on bullying, verbosity, and fraud. Consider the Treaty of Taipei and Treaty of San Francisco. The PRC believes Taiwan is a PRC Province - a "renegade" Province, but part of China nevertheless. Quite an odd Province, one would think! This Taiwan "Province" has their own currency, elects their own leaders, enjoys freedom of the press, unfettered Internet access, and a significant level of prosperity. Long live the sovereign Taiwan republic!!

Huh? Welcome with open arms? Who are you supposed to be? The Taiwanese emperor? To be Taiwanese means they stay in Taiwan and contribute? That means a certain someone who resides in US is also excluded. As well as for those pro-independence, morale selling traitors who went against their Human Rights belief to invest in mainland China. After all, business is business, slogan is slogan.

[AphexTwinAFX]

Still living in days of Martial Law I assumed. Having flashbacks from nightmares?Try a remedy for Insomnia. Organize a protest movement and march down Tiananmen Square waving DPP flags.  Amplify slogans loud & proud like courageous & heroic Chinese students did in'89. Show EVIL KMT & RED CHINA YOU MEAN BUSINESS. Show the world Pro-Independence shouting folks who reject their own citizens do belong in UN! Freedom idealists replaced by freeloading parasites. That's what DPP contributed to Taiwan.

[AphexTwinAFX]

Well,well,Democracy promoters turned opportunists. I thought you would say something like "Boycott Chinese!" to support the cause. Exploiting cheap labor from Red China to another human rights violating Commie Vietnam. Just can't keep away from these evil governments. Business is business. $ takes priority to freedom supporting morale I see. What a way to discount slogan. Support the cause 100% & cut ties with these evil doers! Barks are louder than bites, keeping pockets full is another story.

[jeoujukid]

business is business and it is about bottom line. They go there because labors are cheap. Since the labor cost in China has gone up, people are moving to Vietnam. They did not go over there to do business out of love.

[jeoujukid]

Are you saying KMT and Chinese government are not corrupt? Wake up and smell the coffee. I am not saying the DPP are angels, but the Chinese government is a lot worse. I don't know where you live but try to voice your opinion and speak your mind under Chinese rule. I lived in US and thank God eveyday that I can voice my political opinion freely without my corpse ending in the Kee-Lung river next morning. That is what KMT "contributed" to the Taiwan people.
