I’d stay here regardless of the situation. Hunker down in B2 during the bombing. Venture out to get food and water after the invasion and aquire a high powered sniper rifle on the black market. After that, kiss the wife goodbye and find a nice nest on some where close to the PRC officers’ quarters.
But that’s me. Not you.

I’d rather live in Tibet. Then maybe I could get extra subsidies and be exempt from the one-child policy.
Exactly. Without that option, the poll can’t account for all of the most likely decisions.

I think you have a point - HK definately got hit with a lot of bad luck at once but, that being said, most of my Chinese friedns in HK wish they weren’t under China rule…
The whole situation shows that China can’t be trusted to keep its promises
I had a friend who spent the year living in and he couldn’t wait to come back…he said it was dirtier - way more red tape - and the people were much less friendly…
He was so excited before his trip - not to mention the fact that he’s probably one of the most calm and tolerant people I know - but he was pretty frazzled when he came back. Good experience he said - but he wouldn’t go back…
Especially makes you worry in light of their most recent diplomatic spat with Korea: see china’s Northeast Asia Project
China laying claim to Korea as well… scary
I would probably pick third country - depending on the situation

Now that would be an ironic choice. If Taiwan and PRC unify. Move to HK.

Hey AC you fricken hypocrite, you are not even in Asia, but in the USA. You should not be allowed to post here you hypocrite. Stop pushing PRC passports on innocent Taiwan people when you yourself wouldn’t want one! Give it up and move back to your motherland, or shut the hell up!

LOL. So people holding Taiwan passport only should be the ones deciding Taiwan’s future eh? That’ll be a better deal.
Do they still gob on the streets all the time, everywhere?

I don’t know…do you want people holding U.S. passports deciding Canada’s future, or Europe’s future…oops…sorry already happening…ok, let’s let the American passport holders decide Taiwan’s future…
Personally, aside from the paperwork, minor inconvenience of stinking trash, rude people, I don’t think most ordinary citizens notice a big change when new governments come into power. Most of it is psychological.
What I am talking about is AC pushing and pleading for Taiwan to embrace Communism and acquiesce to China’s demand to acknowledge them as Taiwan’s master. Now if he lived in Taiwan and had loads of money invested in Taiwan and had relatives with Taiwan passports unable to run away to the USA, then I would not call him a hypocrite. Is that so hard to understand? I am saying that he is wishing upon Taiwan what he wouldn’t wish upon himself. Got it yet?
I think you exaggerate my position. I advocate moving towards direct diplomatic relationships with PRC to build trust as a predicate to having eventual negotiations with the PRC on the Strait Issue.
This forum is hosted in California, so why are you posting if geographical location must be inline with server location.
Typical Fascist thinking, I will grant you the right to voice an opinion if it is inline with my own. Aren

I thought Kerry was a Commie Killing Democrat.
Taiwan on a monthly basis throws some ideological nonsense about when we will talk. Like “We are equal states,” Or “when PRC is a democracy,” Or “only if Kerry serves 2 terms as president,” or “when all the aboriginal move to South American,” or “when the PRC assassinates me.”

The DPP government of Taiwan is sincere in trying to move forward diplomatically with the PRC. The PRC is the one that puts unreasonable demands upon Taiwan, but then I already said that and Taiwan says it on a monthly basis. Everyone in Taiwan including me and Lee Teng Hui and VP Lu and President Chen all want diplomatic relations with the PRC. Again it is the PRC that states that Taiwan must first accept that the Communist PRC is its master before any talks can begin.
I think I’d live on An Ho Road somewhere between He Ping and Ren Ai. It’s a nice part of town, and close to Carnage for those crawl-out-of-bed Sunday brunches. But we’d have to see how many scaredycats would leg it if the CCP came to town. There could be a few nice places vacant as the “elite” of Taiwan high tail it to America, thanking their lucky stars they got that US passport in time. Or Yong Kang Jie, it’s always held my fancy as a nice place to live…
hexuan,
Real estate has been sluggish for a while in Taipei.
Anyways I doubt my family would be leaving the deeds behind for squatters.
What makes you think Carnage would be open during an invasion.

Carnage would be the last stand for a lot of foreigners who couldn’t make out of the country on the last 747. 
Hexuan,
I lived for a while on Yong Kang jie - very nice…
ac-dropout - how much crack have you actually smoked today.
There is no such thing as “negotiations” with the PRC - Their idea of “negotiations” is you do whatever the fuck I say…
I equate the situation to two people dining at a restaurant at separate tables- Customer C says to the Customer T “come and eat with me”…The other looks skeptical because C’s table is pretty messy and C looks a little shifty himself. Then C says “get the fuck over here and eat with me or I’ll kick your ass”… Who in there right mind would want to sit with C…
And for those of you who don’t think anything has changed since China took over HK - read the Taipei Times today:
China framed HK candidate: party
OUT OF SIGHT: After dragging democracy activist Alex Ho from his hotel bed and beating him, China sent him to a labor camp for six months without benefit of trial
Translation: “get the fuck over here and eat with me or I’ll kick your ass”…
