here’s how that delegation went:
Step 1. Wait for China to enter WTO.
Step 2. Sign the document for WTO entry that was handed to ROC by the U.S.
Step 3. Claim victory.
OK, great. TPP just as easy, right?
the US doesn’t give a sheet about TPP,
so ROC on its own.
If you knew your history, you´d know it was the other way around.
China entered WTO on Dec.11, 2001.
Taiwan joined WTO on Jan. 1, 2002.
Approval of China’s entry came on November 10, one day before trade ministers at Qatar meeting approved Taiwan.
because of bullying. Again, at that time they were still buying the China market myth. Taiwan paved the way, China reaped the benefits. We did not ride anyone´s coattails. Remember Taiwan used to have a much higher growth rate than China back in the glory days. Unfortunately, the race to the bottom industry leaders mantra -cheaper, cheaper- and the moving of industries to China killed us. Otherwise, things would be pretty different. Most importantly, who follows the WTO rules and who doesn´t?
bullying or not, your reply implied that Taiwan entered WTO first, which it did not.
Taiwan has to listen to others for all things on an international stage. It is, what it is.
No, it does not have to. That is the problem. Both Hong Kong and Taiwan have had their right to decide their fate taken away by powers that handed them to China for… for what?
we both agree on this.
but Taiwanese leaders are pussies or have no balls, depending on their gender. We can only accept they have zero courage to face the future, because they are doing zero to push toward independence.
Taiwan will become HK, the way Taiwan’s last 3 presidents have run around in circles for six terms, 4 of which are DPP, who are supposed to advance the independence cause. DPP certainly are treating their D and P in their name like a hot potato
depending on the gender the descriptions are either both metaphorical or both medical facts.
You and your thesis

Based on your numbers, I can only surmise you have personally anointed Tsai for a second term. : D

He must be counting Lee as DPP, right? And yet… I mean, I just went to grab lunch at the cafeteria and counted the pictures on the wall, there are 7 guys and one woman -yep, even counting the guy in the funny Qing dynasty hat.
yep. the election is hers to lose now
So there is a collection of legal dissertations in England between 1905 to 1984. The book was published in 1985, by the University of London. Institute of Advanced Legal Studies.
Legal Research in the United Kingdom 1905-1984
It just so happens you can find it on Google Books.
On page 1976, you can see Tsai’s name and dissertation title.

So the first argument was that she did not graduate.
Then it was that she did not present her thesis.
Then it was that the thesis is plagiarized/incomplete/whatever.
Now it is that she could not have completed her studies in the time allotted… Back to square one.

But the university has confirmed her PhD, they haven’t withdrawn it for plagiarism and it’s a world renowned Law school.
Next they will be complaining that she got some one else to type it up, you know like most people did back then.
