| @Mei, How about starting from what the people who are living in Taiwan want? And on your earlier comments... "And they have not suffered the stupidity of the Cultural Revolution in the mainland. As a nation the PRC has been in a different planet for so long, that it is only in the 80's that they really opened up. Why are we asking for immediate democratic reforms in the PRC? Shouldn't they be allowed 50 years (in jest) too? ". PRC started in 1949, and has been in power for the same length of time as KMT has in Taiwan. In terms of the suffering of Cultural Revolution... who do you think should be responsible for the that suffering? There should be no excuses for what happened during those 20 years. I am not asking for immediate democratic reform in the PRC... whatever the time Chinese people give will be the time there will be... frankly nobody can force such process. And it may not be the same "democracy" anyway. Just don't diminish other people who took a different path, and disagree with you. Plus, shouldn't you be happy for 2% less of "US" didn't have to suffer the same suffering. |
