No matter what, I am proud of to be a Chinese!!!!Period Yiwu, You should be proud of being Chinese. Seriously. The Chinese people are a great nation of hard-working, industrious, and intelligent individuals. I'm not being patronizing towards you about the reasons you should feel proud. But you cannot instill pride of the mainland gov't into Taiwanese through coercively forcing other people to adopt your point of view such as seems to be occurring between the PRC and Taiwan. Pride comes from living in a country whose system is attractive enough that others wish to participate without being conquered in the process. After all, isn't that why you're here in the US?? You find our system attractive in some measure. More attractive than any other at this time anyway, right? You are accepted into this society and treated with respect and provided the same equal civil rights as its citizens. If China wishes to have Taiwan reunify then develop a system that creates the desire among Taiwanese to willfully do so. Taiwanese feel very proud to be Chinese as well. Your only difference seems to be in ideology and political freedoms. Maybe the PRC is concerned that if they are not able to subjugate Taiwan forcefully, they'll find their people fleeing across the straits to freedom in Taipei. No matter how much we argue and debate out here, never stop being proud of being Chinese. But keep it in the context of the pride that all people feel in their particular history. Regards, Ron
