That’s the whole hypocrisy of ROC politic board. They wish to support the party that will destabilize the region with their TI politics.
Yet when Commies do come, first thing every foreigner on this board will be doing is looking for their passport and getting off the island.
Or asking questions like “Will you please escort me to my Embassy”

Well, hope that the american posters will throw you out off the AIT office, where you are covering with the rest of them, and into the arms of your PRC friends.
Mr He,
It should be those Americans that support TI that should be tossed to PRC troops. Since they supported the politics that caused the problem.
People like me work to ensure there is less economic motives for the PRC to enter a military confrontation with the ROC.
How? By ripping this place of everything of value and transport it to Shanghai?
Mr He,
By ensuring profits made in PRC and USA are funnelled back into ROC to support local employment and business, instead of cutting salary and laying off people. So that these individuals will have enough money so they will not be tempted by vote buying we hope.
TI politics makes is just bad news for everyone.

Its the PRC that blocks profits being remitted back to Taiwan.
The US for example (Starbucks, KFC et al) use profits made in PRC to fund things like uniforms, packaging etc for use throughout the globe.
AWOL,
Similar concept in our case as well. The point being by having facilities in PRC doesn’t make us “selling out” ROC. The majority of people I work with were all born in raised in ROC.

Get it straight little Red Guard, it is your beloved PRC that is causing the problem not Taiwan! The PRC just needs to move on with reforming their country into becoming more democratic, with rule of law and respect for human rights and a free press etc. Leave free democratic Taiwan alone, stop trying to invade other countries, abandon such imperialistic war mongering dreams.
NO ONE, except wackos like you want to unite with a COMMUNIST country!!! You sound just like the Communist propagandists. Give up your USA passport or stop being such a hypocrite and wishing upon Taiwan’s citizens what you wouldn’t wish upon yourself!!!
Conclusion: Let’s all support the One China Policy.
jimmy,
Not supporting TI doesn’t mean support “One China” policy either. This is politics. Not a net-zero game where one side wins and the other side loses automatically.
Hobart,
Your the only wacko I see. You’re so anti-Blue you don’t see the ramification of TI policy. Only the smallest minority of ROC citizens support TI aggenda.

Then why did more than 50 percent of valid votes go the way of Presidetn Chen?
ludahai,
Chen has other issues on his platform besides TI.
BDR vs. WSR
Reformer vs. Conservative.
etc. etc.
Here is another quote from Jimmy from another thread:
[quote=“jimmy”]In fact the Republic of China is noting more than a “government in exile” . . . . and a simple review of the last sixty or seventy years of Taiwan history shows this very easily . . . . and also shows the fact that the ROC has no legal title to “Formosa and the Pescadores”[/quote]Hey Jimmy the ROC is dead. That was some old KMT man’s Opium pipe dream. It is gone as will be the last KMT hold over the legislature in Taiwan after the year-end elections. None of that however, takes away from the fact that Taiwan is NOT A PART OF THE PRC, and that instead it is a democratically self-ruled island with no political connections to the PRC whatsoever.

What is this? What board?
Not me, big boy. My greatest fear is that the moment I leave Taiwan for good, the shit will hit the fan and I will miss it. Being here during the Chicom invasion/attack/embargo etc would be the most exciting and interesting time in my life (so far).

absolutely with wolf on that one…i ain’t going nowhere…
btw i thought we agreed to ignore the rantings of you know who?
I’m not making any promises, I might already have left Taiwan for any number of reasons by the time the PLA sets foot here but I think there would be a whole lot of Blue politicians and businessmen dusting off their US passports before I took out my British one. Are foreigners (Lien Chan’s children) officially allowed to campaign in elections here?
I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong - but YES - if they give up their foreign passport (as Xiao Bi Khim did)

I know I’m new and all, but allow me to voice my opinion on this one. I would like to think, that, if I am there during the invasion, should it indeed happen, I would stay. I have many friends there, some of whom I have known for almost 12 years…I don’t like to think that I’d be one to run at the first sign of trouble.
As far as the ROC vs. PRC issue goes, (Warning: I am voicing my opinion)
I think it should be pretty obvious that Taiwan is independent…as Hobart’s sig indicates, the facts make it pretty clear. I support that too…God curse the day that China and Taiwan are unified. However, this does not make me a dyed-in-the-wool Green party advocate…I don’t agree with a lot President Chen’s actions, and his in-your-face style isn’t going to foster any friendships with his big next door neighbor anytime soon.
In conclusion…I guess I don’t know what party I support…something in between the two of 'em, lol.
Standing by to be flamed…

There is no in between.
I’m gonna have to think long and hard before I decide then. I don’t like the pro-unification stance that a lot of the Blues seem to have, (notice I said “most”) nor do I like the in-your-face “let’s start a war” stance that Chen seems to have…I think I will have to be there longer than 2 months before I can form an good informed opinion. Hopefully I’ll get to go back soon.
