Lin: what do you know about China? Have you ever lived there? even if for one month, or one year? not to mention a couple of dozens of years? If you have no personal experience with it, then don't pretend you know it. Because you know nothing about the modern China! You are making a fool of yourself!!
About one oz. gold cost $3 in 40's, you are also making a fool of yourself. First, what year of dollar was that? Do you know what was the average monthly salary in 40s in the US? If you don't know then go look it up. Second, haven't you even heard of "gold reserve"? So gold was valuable in 1940's, not because of the value of itself, its value was in the backing-up of a country's currency. Without the gold as a backup reserve, Taiwan currency could never be that strong. US dollar become a reserve currency happens only in the recent two decades.
I heard a lot of things about Taiwan, several of my cousins still live there now. But since I don't have any personal experience with it, I don't make stupid comment about it.
You are just like your American "cousins", or maybe "daddy", who, perhaps, have never even visited China, not to mention lived there as a resident for a decent amount of time. Your guys all sound like some kind of Sinologists. NOT! |
