<I think it depends on what else the other 5 billion are concerned about at the time of voting or lusting afterwards, don't you think so?> Quite right Jay. But also, the 1.n billion Chinese won't all be obsessing about Taiwan on election day. Some will be at school, some playing cards in their dotage, others making hay while the sun shines or otherwise indifferent. Some will be Taiwanese supporters. There will be a billion different ideas and interests [even though the billion are allegedly like a single ant colony with one brain and one DNA]. Even in the highly divisive USA presidential election, about half the voters were not interested enough to vote. Which must seem odd to the likes of our dear friend, Raymond Duray and the foaming at the mouth rabid right wing Republicans. Good old Google: <2004 ~217,800,000 ~122,032,263 55 to 60% > 2005, here we come! Ready or not. Wheeee!! Mqurice PS: It was interesting how much of the world focussed on the tsunami disaster and for how long. Perhaps the world is developing a "mind" with a single consciousness, or at least a less fragmented one. A lot of people see the world as a single place, a village, interconnected, all for one and one for all, globalized and of interest to all.
