How many brave PLA must die to free the oppressed Chinese from the depraved democrats on Taiwan? >> Not ONE SINGLE person DIED on TianAnMen Square, only some were injured there. Those couple of hundreds (400-500)all dead outside that area.<< I think you are right on the number. I heard from the west propaganda press which claimed 5,000 killed. That is a shameless scan. VOA or BBC didn't even want to mention a word about some PLAs sacrificed their life and burned to death by the rioters because they obeyed the rule of maximum avoiding the civilian casualty. exchange2000.com

hui zhou- I would say, based on the articles you cited, that the truth is a little more nuanced than your capitalized editorial suggests. From the Strait Times: ================================================================= "Although the locals interviewed said that, theoretically, a separate statehood would be good for Taiwan, none of them thought it was feasible or absolutely necessary, given the political reality. ... For instance, a public-opinion poll commissioned by the ruling Kuomintang showed over 60 per cent backing the categorisation of Taiwan-China relations as "special state-to-state" ties rather than as "political entities". But when these respondents were asked if Taiwan should break with China officially and change its name from the Republic of China to the Republic of Taiwan, only 20 per cent said Yes." ================================================================== It does appear that the people of Taiwan are having a national discussion of this question in a way that the people of the PRC are forbidden by their reigning dictatorship from having.
