oh hell no we get clean water in fiji we have the best infrastucture in the region outside of australia and new zealand and if u would use your eyes and read the label on fiji water it says that fiji water comes from a underground aquifer and last time i opened a text book aquifers are all seperate of each other and not interconnected/so the next time u say "the US is colonizing fiji" just remember in fiji unlik iraq,afganistan and vietnam were u just get blown up in fiji we eat you

[extringele]

US is colonizing Fiji for their water! Lol its actually kinda true, ppl of Fiji don't even get clean water while the US is pumping their water out like mad and they don't give clean water to the ppl in need

Taiwan can not last for long because China's power is growing at an amazing pace what Taiwan people need to do is switch sides now before all your alleys switch sides including the United States. Taiwan used to refuse the chinese because Taiwan was wealthy while China was poor but the table has turned. Just unit again like Hong kong and China, and still maintain autonomy. No more West.

Samoa's poverty is the lack of opportunities.

What PM Tuilaepa should insist upon is 50% of labor force to be locals! I hope that's happening. With 97.5% literacy on the islands

maybe an apprentice program Labor field could help....not everyone can go or wants college.

That's funny. I am proud to be a Canadian and I am not supporting the separation of Taiwan and China. But you can't deny that PROC is hopeless against Taiwan independence; most Taiwanese don't want to become Chinese; the US is still a lot stronger than China; and as people like you exist, the road to unification will only be longer, if not impossible.

[mercedescl]

I don't think our knowledge gaps are that wide: Since when Taiwan is governed or owned by PROC? Since when the US is weaker than China? I don't know how your "Civil war arguement" helps because it just proved that China had been separated into two nations, and one of them wants to be called "Republic of Taiwan" sooner or later. If your personal attacks and "military threat" continue, Republic of Taiwan will just appear sooner, not later.

How my YT channel related to my nationality? and How it improves your idiotic arguements? That just proved that you have no new tricks or knowledge or friends at all. No wonder no Taiwanese or Hong Kong citizens want to be called Chineses.

[mercedescl]

That's not what Stephen Harper had in mind. I don't know where you data come from, but our major trading partners are US (79%), UK(2.5%), and Japan(2.3%). Canada has everything China wants: corn, oil, water, wood, etc; and 1.4 billion is just a droplet compare to our 1.165 trillion GDP. If you think Canada will be afraid of China, better think again.

I am 100% Canadian with Canadian parents and never set foot in Taiwan. Your attitude clearly explains why Taiwanese don't like to be Chinese.

[mercedescl]

That's laughable. How many carrier groups PROC has? 11? None!How many rich Chineses want to keep their money in China? 10 million? None!How many Senkaku Islands did China get back in the last 6 decades? None! It can't even challenge Japan, nevermind the US.
