Stephen, <<(they confuse some of its ruling elite with the entire Chinese people) >> Good point. Just as Americans should not be judged in whole, by military mistakes in Kosovo or the serious moral lapses of its leaders. But best I not get going here or I will pitch a hissy fit. <G> <<Hope I have not further confused and/or stoke the issue(s). No more but no less then any posts here IMO and I always enjoy yours Stephen. Best, Stitch

Stephen- <<Just as implausible is the scenario that the majority of people in Taiwan will vote for total independence - the vast majority of the population in Taiwan think of themselves as Chinese.>> Your sense of what people on Taiwan think of this issue differs from mine, which is based on a very limited sampling of expatriates. But I wonder if the recent declaration from Taipai would cause you to reconsider your view. Regards, Larry

Stephen- From an article in today's WSJ with the byline of Jessie Wong <<That's because generations of Taiwan residents increasingly have grown apart from China since 1949, when Mao Tse-tung's Communists swept to power in Beijing and the previous Chinese government fled to the island. Polls show wide popular support for Mr. Lee's latest stance.>> I'm also not sure what is so altogether different about Tibet. While there are obviously differences, I don't see they change the fundamentals. Do these words ring a bell for you: "When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds that have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth that separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and Nature's God impel them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes that impel them to the separation." ?
