Taiwan and China's Military Buildup: Part 4 of Election '08 and the Challenge of China

The U.S.-China relationship is complicated and is vital for both countries and the world. Where do Senators McCain and Obama stand on U.S.-China trade, security, environmental, and human rights issues? How important has policy toward China been in past elections and in 2008? These are the questions explored in a USC U.S.-China Institute documentary.

Taiwan is routinely cited by Chinese as one of the issues most likely to produce conflict between the U.S. and China. The U.S. supplies weapons to Taiwans military, but the American government has firmly opposed any Taiwan declaration of independence. The U.S. calls on the officials on both sides of the strait to work collaboratively towards a peaceful and enduring resolution of Taiwans status. Since the end of U.S.-Taiwan relations, Taiwan has become a thriving democracy. Ma Ying-jeou became president of Taiwan on May 20, 2008 and has pledged to work towards better ties with the mainland.

Yo I'm a Taiwanese and Taiwan is not part of china. Just because it's right next to china that doesnt mean it's china fuck. Or I could say that England is part of USA.

@MyNameISfockYou Lol you know that Republic of China is only a term right? That doesnt mean anything, its just the international Term for Taiwan.

The taiwanese would have changed that for sure, but those Beijing politic dogs dont want that. Dont forget who is the real China! The real China by Dr Sun Ya Tsen!
