Made in China, Stay in China

Got milk? If you do, pray that it’s not from China. The Olympics are over, and its back to business in China’s manufacturing industry with the latest toxic milk scandal, which has killed four infants and poisoned around 54,000 Chinese, mostly children under the age of two. Twenty-two different dairy producers in China, Sanlu Group Co. being the biggest of them were found to have sold melamine laced dairy products to consumers. In Taiwan, 6.1 metric tons of imported poisonous milk powder has been removed from shelves, while in China over 7,000 metric tons of dairy products have been pulled from stores. What’s more disturbing is that the Sanlu Group was apparently receiving customer complaints about their dairy products as early as December of 2007. This has once again brought China’s food safety and quality control into serious question causing countries around the world to ban imports of Chinese milk products.

Melamine is a white powder that is used in industrial plastics-making. It is typically used in the manufacturing of floor tiles, formica, kitchenware, fertilizers and for the tanning of leathers. Due to the fact that melamine is nitrogen rich, when added to watered-down or below-standard milk, protein levels appear higher in standard quality tests. The problem is that melamine causes kidney stones and can even lead to kidney failure. Melamine was added because shrinking profit margins took precedence over public health, safety and worse yet, human life.

The Chinese government has responded in recent days with their typical song and dance. A few arrests have been made, and officials have been forced to resign in order to shift attention away from the government. The state controlled media (propaganda machine) has placed all the blame on the Sanlu Group Co. However, it’s interesting to note that Sanlu and many other leading companies involved in the scandal had been given inspection-free status by the government’s food safety watchdog. Chinese officials have tried to reassure a highly skeptical world that the problem is now under control. Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, while speaking at the UN in New York, said the Chinese would use the crisis as a chance to overhaul safety controls. China will “take seriously supervision and inspections in every link of production, truly ensuring the interests of consumers,” Wen said.

The problem is it’s hard to take China seriously when you have a manufacturing track record as abysmal, fatal, as theirs. Just last year the world witnessed massive recalls with toothpaste laced with toxic diethylene glycol, contaminated seafood, faulty tires, lead-painted toys, and deadly pet food laced with none other than, melamine. When you add the latest toxic milk scandal to the list, it’s obvious that the interests and health of the consumers have never been of any concern to the Chinese.

So what has been the reaction from the KMT government in Taiwan? It can be described as slow, laughable, and worst of all, deadly for Taiwanese citizens. The KMT’s Department of Health (DOH) on Wednesday night, in a move that defies all sense and reason, actually loosened the food safety standard for melamine from 0 parts per million (ppm) to 2.5 ppm, meaning that imported Chinese food products to Taiwan can contain up to 2.5 ppm of deadly melamine. Even in China, pig feed must have below 2.0 ppm of melamine. Before we go any further, it must be repeated that melamine is an industrial strength fertilizer and plastics-making chemical. It is not fit whatsoever for human consumption. How can the KMT have the audacity to think that any sane person would voluntarily choose to ingest something that is used for plastics-making? Ma Ying Jeou and the KMT have completely lost their minds if they think Taiwanese people will stand for poison in their food. If the KMT want melamine in their food, they should ask China to ship the 7,000 metric tons of removed toxic dairy products to Taiwan so they can consume all of it.

The DOH will also send a delegation of experts from Taiwan to China in hopes to better understand the recent scandal. But honestly, what more is there to understand? The Chinese were putting poison in their milk and knowingly selling it to consumers. Premier Liu Chao-shiuan said on Tuesday one of the reasons for sending a delegation to China was to, “set up a better system of food safety inspection modeled on the US Food and Drug Administration.” Can someone please tell me why then, if Taiwan wants to model the US Food and Drug Administration, we are sending experts to China to examine Chinese food safety controls? The world has seen time and again that China obviously has no idea what it’s doing when it comes to quality control. The KMT needs to spend more time developing stricter and more effective quality controls here in Taiwan than it does worrying about what’s happening in China.

The best idea, sorry worst, from president, sorry mister, Ma Ying Jeou has to be his idea to setup a hotline with Beijing to ensure food safety and public health in Taiwan. Here’s the simplest way to ensure public health in Taiwan, don’t buy from China. Why does Taiwan need a hotline to Beijing just for food safety? Does Mr. Ma plan to have more contaminated food sent to Taiwan in the future? Or does he actually think that the next time China has another manufacturing scandal, and they will have another one, that someone in China is going to call first on the hotline and give him the heads up? Ma and the KMT have consistently shown their incompetence, disregard for Taiwan, and love for China ever since Ma took office. The Taiwanese people can no longer idly sit by while the KMT ruins this country. Taiwan’s future will be one that is made in Taiwan, not China.

He may have been the head of NTU Hospital, but he has no public health background whatsoever. I knew that we were in trouble when he said that people could only pray in response to the enterovirus outbreak during the summer.
At 9:34 AM , Eva said...: I totally agree with you! It has made me so mad to see how the KMT has been dealing with this whole melamine situation. While all the other countries immediately banned milk products from China, Ma took the "wait-and-see" approach just because he doesn't want to point fingers at China! If he had a little child of his own drinking these products, would he be so irresponsible?! To him, the lives of Taiwanese people mean nothing! It's all about keeping up appearances--sending some stupid delegation to China when he should be concentrating efforts in Taiwan! He's such a disgrace!!!

At 10:08 PM , Anonymous said...: Still stuck in the historical event, such as 228? why not look forward to the present A-bian scandal and how to help Taiwan's future by taking other practical actions instead of doing some useless actions in front of the TV and dose such kind of protest action really help Taiwan? Or it simply revealed your idealistic and brainwashed thoughts by the DPP? Does Taiwan really have to be independent from China? That is not up to you, and if you really love Taiwan, you might consider to give your American citizenship and focus on other more helping ways instead of joining the 1025 meaningless parade, Think about why President Ma had such a hard time, IT IS BECAUSE DPP RUINED TAIWAN'S ECONOMY FOR THE LAST 8 YEARS!

You said that "IT IS BECAUSE DPP RUINED TAIWAN'S ECONOMY FOR THE LAST 8 YEARS!" This statement is totally false. DPP did not make this happen, the greedy banker did. Not DPP, the global financial crisis will still occur even if KMT is in the off during the past 8 year. I wonder how much money will get stolen by them if they are in the office for the last 8 years.

To Eric:

Good writing, I am glade that you speak out.

"This statement is totally false. DPP did not make this happen, the greedy banker did. Not DPP, the global financial crisis will still occur even if KMT is in the off during the past 8 year." How can you say that when the DPP is the administrative party during the past 8 years? Aren't you just slapping your own mouth? BTW, all those crisis starts from a LOUSY government and GREEDY LEADER, the bankers were just his accompanies. Scandals won't occur simply because greedy bankers, it often involve government authorities. Now, just wait and see what will happen to the known "The son of Taiwan" and the Man who
"proclaimed that he loved Taiwan by transferring enormous amounts of money to his offshore accounts" He still have to face the court and justice. Well, He still insists on what he's done is all for Taiwan, then maybe he should make up a better lie.

I graduated from Tsing Hua University 2 years ago. I love Taiwan so much as you do so that I took part in a national exam right after I graduated from college and wish that I could really do sth for my beloved country in the future as a government official. But after Mr. Ma was elected as our president, what he has done gradually ruined my dream for Taiwan. I am so sad about all his policy towards China, but I found no ways to express my anger. Until today, I saw your brave deeds in the news, I felt so touched that someone loves Taiwan so much as me. I am so thankful that you spoke out for Taiwanese people!!!
I really wish that there can be more and more young people like you cuz this country needs young people to fight for this beautiful island.
I am a local resident in Kaohsing, I am so proud that you expressed most of the southern people's feelings.
Thank you, I really appreciate your brave deed!!!

fallacies abound in your argument, clown. let me tell you what, dude. you have allowed yourself getting brainwashed by chinese-owned media and proudly boasted about it. that’s not very wise.

if 1025(exercising citizen's political rights) is meaningless, then no country around the world should hold elections, becos they are meaningless, by your standard. as your nonsensical argument goes, referendums; people's voice; freedom of expression and all other characteristics of democracy- you name it- are thus meaningless. and ah-oh, your comment becomes meaningless. oops, did you just slap yourself, sadist?

yes, we need to be forward-looking. and with history as the guide. we have been pushed around by all sorts of people for too long - subordinated, sidelined bullied...(check your thesaurus for the endless list) - we must stand up and be our own masters NOW. to protect taiwanese from all these bullying, we need a country and a government that is for the TW people and by the TW people. this IS forward-looking. if you dont wish to be a taiwanese, then pack up and crawl your way to China and lick their boots. Chinese ministry of propaganda would enjoy admiring their pieces of work. and most probably, given their “kind” nature, welcome you with all hospitability and with their tainted milk and fried sliced human kidneys(if you are health-conscious, ask for boiled ones instead) oh wait, are you a taiwanese in the first place?

practical? if Ma and KMT has so much energy, trying all they can(while spending taxpayers' money for investigation, creating political turmoil which in turn hurts economy....etc) to stigmatise an ex-president, why dont they focus on saving the economy from the current dire straits. dont tell me "BECAUSE DPP RUINED TAIWAN'S ECONOMY FOR THE LAST 8 YEARS!"(which is a historical event: smth you deem insignificant i thought?) what dont you try this sentence: BECAUSE. because KMT has RUINED everything, EVERYTHING in taiwan for the PAST 60 YEARS! And don’t tell me that KMT cant solve it because it’s a global problem. Fuck. Taiwan’s trade deficits and budget deficits are rocketing, unemployment are shooting up, stock market nosediving, Foreign Investment are flowing out like toilet’s flushing! Tell me, which Asian country( excluded Japan, which belongs to the Western economic bloc ) is performing as bad?

gosh. stop slapping yourself here and wake up now!

At 10:57 AM , Anonymous said...: As an oversea Taiwanese American, I have never thought myself to be in the position to stand up and walk toward the front to protest against Chinese communism. The reason being that I no longer lived in Taiwan and if no one in Taiwan is willing to stand up for the country and it's people, why should I? As I watched Eric on TV tonight, it gives me great pleasure and realization that the next generation of Taiwanese will not be complacent and simply just hand Taiwan to China. Frankly, why should Taiwan be a part of China? Why can't Taiwan be an independent nation and be a part of the world community. The shear opposition of the Chinese government in accepting Taiwan into the UN is a testiment of the communistic thinking and intolerance that are exhibited by the mainland Chinese community, whether it is in the United States, or perhaps in China, as I cannot comment since I never been there and do not wish to be there. I have to say that in fairness, not all mainland Chinese are communists nor do they all hold fundamental views that Taiwan need to reunify with China, but the majority do support such referendum and my question is WHY?! Today, as I watched Eric's thirty seconds worth of fame, I truly believe there's some hope that Taiwan may one day become independent as most of us hope it will. If everyone feels the same way, we need to unify ourselves and make our voices heard as Eric has done. I believe it's hardest to start a movement, but once the movement has started, it's much easier to build on the momentum.

Personally, I think those who wants to reunify with China should just pack up their bags and get the hell out of Taiwan and move back to China. If you don't like Taiwan, get the fuck out. If you love China, get a one-way ticket and go home. Simple really...

You don't represent me, nor do you represent the majority of the Taiwanese people. What you and your friends did in the Confucius temple were an embarrassment to the people of Taiwan, who are known for kindness and hospitality, not violence or extremism.

These petty acts are not acts of love toward Taiwan -- instead, people like you are no different from Hamas or the Tablian -- their love for their country only wrecks their country.

If you truly love Taiwan, as you claimed, I'd suggest you to behave like a rational person, instead of allowing the same old pan-green propaganda get to you. Knowing how to separate political b.s. from reality is the first step toward maturity, which is something that you (and the pan-green camp altogether) need right now.

Great job man. I also studied in NCKU and am proud of what you did..keep up the good work.

to Hcc:
Did you ever consider that if you were 'Chinese' in China this news would never had made it on TV.

to Clown:
I quote "sit down and think about what they are actually supporting", I think what Eric wanted to express although not in the way everyone agrees is best, is that Taiwan is a country of its own, we are stuck in this situation where we cannot be treated as equals when we speak up internationally or when we travel, people think you are from CHINA. If you travel at all you would know that most countries cannot distinguish the difference, which is why i believe adding the words Taiwan on the passport is very practical and yes it must have some Political propaganda BS behind, but for citizens its just the practicality that it serves.

Secondly: I quote "how can you guys hate CHINA so much?" i think we can never be forgiving enough to a country that always claims Taiwan is theirs when all they do is cut us down in any scenes around the world. How can YOU LOVE them so much is the question... And i do agree you can and are always welcome to defect to China if that is your wish.
At 3:34 PM , Anonymous said...: This is my first time to visit blogs or sites of the kind. Quite a feeling to me honestly. You guys are all young Taiwanese, and appeared loving this country very much. That is good! And most of you act or talk like many Taiwanese often says-"爽就好“. So you all admire what Eric just did. You believe that is good for... for what?

Firstly, have you thought about why we should become another country (well, we are, so I mean a country with different name?). When we become a real independent country (with different name, again), what the good will be (爽就好？）? Or should we be part of China (comma, are you idiot)? Or should we be part of USA (if it is possible)? Or part of Japan? Or... After all of these "OR", please come back and think again - Why should we be independent with another new name? If you have no answer for this question, I suggest you open your eyes and think harder!

You are good! Because you are all pure and idealistic (assume the ones behind these names are real)! But with what you all said here, I don't see any clue why Taiwan can win in this battle (with 1025?). Or why should we win? You will never win before you see thru the situation...

張先生到台灣深綠地盤,尤其是靠近阿扁故鄉,頗有為陳雲林探路的味道.相信陳來台時會對南部深綠民眾多所著墨,統戰一番.

話說回來,中國如果經濟強盛,政治民主(譬如修改黨綱,全民選舉領導人),重視人權,台灣人還會拒中國於門外嗎?

But I think it is enough of the street riot way for now and do something more progressive. I think both KMT and DDP are old and out of date, one lost its identity after finding that no one on the island want to "return" to china and another stuck in the "election game" looking harder to the empty name of Taiwanese independent rather than gaining support from international community. Taiwan has already stuck in this troubled shallow water for nearly ten years and no one's being able to stand out to make a difference.

If you really want to make a difference, try more effort to link all the clubs around Taiwanese universities make conference on researching all the policies they are doing and propose better ones if you guys can. Form a shadow parliament and kick all those cunts out of Taiwanese politic. Taiwan's enough of empty talks and we need someone with more wisdom to encounter all the international affairs not just say " f*ck you china" and can't do anything to it other than war. We need more strength to beat them and and someone with wisdom is what we need...

閣下應該譴責全世界資本家與廠家把工場搬往沒有基本道德標準的中國大陸來生產貨品。這些外國資本家與廠家為了減低生產成本(Cost of Production)而把生產工場搬往中國大陸，閣下認為他們是否需要負起大部份責任？？

另外，我想閣下有沒有看過美國與臺灣的《美臺關係法》、中國大陸與美國的《三個聯合公報》？？自從一九七一年起中華民國退出聯合國後，聯合國有沒有再承認稱為中華民國臺灣的國家？？閣下是否知道經濟邊緣化的臺灣已經缺乏討價還價的能力？？

在現時階段，本人也不會同意專政獨裁的中國大陸與臺灣談論任何政治問題。假如中國大陸能夠改變一黨專政獨裁的本質，也許大部份臺灣人考慮會修正拒絕與中國大陸談論政治議題的想法。

Just so you know, I am, too, very tired of the chinese calling me "chinese, and you are one of us", it's totally BS...and YES, when I was younger, my parents, aunts and uncles, all have told me about the 228 massacre incident in Formosa, but they also told me that this topic was forbiden and couldn't be taught or even be spoken of in Taiwan...anyway, I had to learn and gather all the historical information via my own research in the US...sort of like you did, and the more facts I've learnt, the sadder I got...

I know there are gonna be some pro-china ppl coming onto your site and leave crazy, nonsense comments before they leave, but please don't ever get discouraged by their stupid, uneducated comments, just knowing you are doing this for a good cause and for the land we all love.

all in all, well done! and im sure most of the Taiwanese are very proud of you, if not all...and thanks very much for speaking up and standing up for Taiwan in front of the chinese MoFos.

You said: "Fight for the Right" This is not only the hero can do but also every Taiwanese who identify this land.

For years experience I realized there is no chance to make money in China so as our business. The nation, the leaders and the Chinese are staring at your doing, when you have the profit, they come to you for the tax or bullying you for self benefit.

Most of worthless politicos think "Huge China" is the country glittering with gold and always convince us must get closely with this great country, otherwise, boat of "little Taiwan" is going to sink in the near furture, but finally not a piece we can pick up!

Many famous economical scholars said China will replace America to be the most powerful country soon.
Do you think American will choose to be the part of China? If they no, Japan no, Singapore no...Why Taiwan yes???

I have three children and live in China right now, however I teach them never lose " Taiwan Spirit" and forget they are the very very special "Taiwanese".

At 4:12 AM , Anonymous said...: I'd have to say that I agree with HCC and Clown. As an American-born Taiwanese, I feel that what Eric did could in fact be hurting Taiwan. Zhang came to Tainan to exchange solely on "educational grounds." He did not represent the Red China government in any way during this trip. Many of our mainland friends are friendly people. And many, if not most, desire and look up to the democracy and freedom in Taiwan. I felt that what Zhang said actually gave us a slap in the face. He simply said "it was a new experience" for him because of Taiwan's freedom and democracy. However, before we express our feelings and opinions, shouldn't we also pay the same respect that Zhang has done for us so far? He never initiated any fights, and he called for embracing different ideals.
As an American-born Taiwanese, I am grateful of the ROC government that protected the Taiwan island and some offshore islands from the Red China. I am truly grateful that we are ruled by the government of the ROC, and I do hope we live up to our ideals. Maybe one day, we can prove to the mainlanders that maybe there's another China (Republic of China/ROC) that they can love more (than their PR China)!

To cf - you have been to the US for over a decade, and I am sure you have a "green card" or US citizenship as well, what makes you different? your comment is nothing but simply hypocritical, and by far, does serving the military really equal to true loyalty to your country? or just a process to brainwash your way of thinking? I think what Eric did was more than patriotic, and more than most of you would ever do in your life, and 勇氣? Eric definitely has it in my eyes, he's got the ball to confront the 中國人, do you really have the ball to do what he did? I don't think so...in which that makes you the coward - 懦夫 in my eye... and who the f are you calling Eric外國人? Your district governor Ma is a hong kong, china born foreigner, and by using your logic, it is sarcastic by having Ma as the president then? correct? so your logic makes no sense at all, but that doesn't matter, it only matters as he does not appreciate this place where he grew up at nor any love whatsoever for this land. Throughout the Taiwanese history, there were many 外國人 who loved Taiwan, even to-date, there are many 外國人 who love Taiwan, and perhaps more than most of the people in Taiwan. For your information, Dr. George Leslie Mackay (馬偕), a Canadian Med Doc who spent most of his life and died in Formosa and was buried in Formosa, and his tomb is still there today. And he's just one of the examples, there are many to list...who were japanese, american, dutch, etc., and they established hospitals, orphanages, etc. for the greater good of Taiwan..all in all, ASK YOURSELF! what have you done for this place that has made you a better person and a better 本國人? so you could judge "外國人" and their love for this land? You've done absolutely NOTHING for Taiwan! Moreover, it's proven that Ma had green card, his children are american citizens, and did he even serve in the military?! yeah-f*ing-right! so don't be ridiculous to judge people with your stupid logic, it only matters with their heart and love, not because of their military record or all that nonsense, and even though Eric doesn't have all that by your "qualification or standard" of 本國人, he's more than that, at least being a 勇敢的臺灣人, way beyond and more than your 假臺灣馬 by far.

Again, ABTs love Taiwan just as much as you do, recognize Taiwan as much as you do…if not more…so don’t ever doubt or judge their love for Taiwan!!! 記得, 叫ABT-外國人和當外國人叫臺灣人-中國人, 那不好的, 不被認定的感覺是同樣的!

I just learned about you and your friend's protest at TaiYiDa... just wanted to drop by and show some support!! I hope more and more young people in Taiwan will realize what the KMT have done to Taiwan in the past, and more importantly, the damages that Ma and the KMT are doing to Taiwan's sovereignty, democracy, and economy right now!

Good bless Taiwan!!
At 11:34 AM , Anonymous said...: Back at you "anonymous," the ROC government did murder people back in the late 1940s, and my grandmother's brother was murdered because he was a doctor, they wanted to get all the "educated" ones. My family was, indeed, one of the victims back then.
However, Ma has apologized many times about what the KMT had done in the past, and have faced the problems without "hiding" or "lying" like before. I pay great respect for him. And my grandmother has forgiven the KMT, but clearly, she does not love the KMT. However, she believes it is in Taiwan's best interest to stay with the ROC, NOT declaring independence from the ROC, or China, in general.
She does not love the KMT, but she does have a clear mind. She knows that it is safe that Taiwan has been turned to the ROC, not the PRC. (Although she admits that she had rather have Taiwan stayed with Japan.)
What defines your so-called "ABT" and "ABC?"
I am not going to deny that I am an ABC, and I certainly do think myself as an ABT, also. The reason is, simply put, my parents are Taiwanese, my grandparents are Taiwanese. None of my family members came with the KMT because of the civil war. I am an ABC because I do not deny the Chinese blood in me (as an ethnic group), and I claim to be an ABT because I am, indeed, Taiwanese.
Some people like to "define" other people by their own "definitions." Namely, "if you don't love Taiwan the way I do, then sorry you're not Taiwanese."
I find that funny. I am as ABT as any other ABTs, some ABTs want Taiwan to be independent, some ABTs want Taiwan to be rested with, and protected by the ROC. Last time I checked, so are the residents in Taiwan. Some Taiwanese want Taiwan to be independent, some rather keep the status quo -- to be with ROC. (Mind you, for Ma to be elected with his political ideals, with the SMALL percentage of the so-called "Person-out-of-the-province" or Waishengren is not enough. Ma's political ideals MUST have been accepted by the so-called benshengren/person-of-the-province; and on a LARGE scale.)
I respect your opinion as an individual in Taiwan, and I am well aware many others think like you. However, I also call your attention to the decision, and the opinion, that the rest of the Taiwanese have decided for the next four years of Taiwan in March.
I will tell you, simply, I am not the one defining what an ABT is, I am simply stating who I am, with simple facts. I was born in the US, and my family members are all bensheng/person-of-the-province Taiwanese; and I believe that makes me an ABT, by facts, and by common definition (as oppose to a subjective one.)

I love Taiwan, and I respect the ROC government that has protected Taiwan from the Red China. I denounce the shameful murders and other actions that the KMT had performed in the past. I also, accept the apologies and attempts to reconcile the KMT have given. I look forward to the future as an ABT, or Taiwanese. I want what's best for Taiwan right now. I want security and safety for Taiwan. Because I know, the day ROC ceases to exist, the replacement country is not going to be called "Taiwan", it may very well be, the PRC.

Therefore, I am a firm believer of the ROC. I am an advocate for what's best in Taiwan. Not "what feels good" to do, and putting our country at risks.

Love Live the Republic of China.
Long Live democracy in Taiwan.

Sincerely,
LongliveROC

真的要扯, 而且如果你真的愛台灣, 就去調查那些支持獨立的綠色陣營所選出的立委, 哪幾個人家裡沒有美國護照?

Eric真的有雙重國籍的話(在台美接是被默許而已還敢講那麼大聲?),為何他在成大是以"外籍生"的生份就學? 用台灣國籍就學很可恥? 或是為了逃避這個"他那麼愛的國家"所規定的義務--兵役?

kate, 您可以幫他解釋一下嗎?
At 1:59 PM , Anonymous said...: First off, much respect to you Eric for your courage and commitment to stand out for what you believe is right. It is safe to save that vast majority of the taiwanese concurred with your beliefs and it is just a matter of the extent of their agreement. What I witnessed the last two days is truly remarkable. From your bold action to the incident of vice chairman Chang yesterday, have further reinforce the true issue that exist in the great nation of Taiwan. It is the issue of identity. To be clear, it is the conflict between pro-independent and anti-independent. Indeed, this has taken place for decades, but it is evident that as time goes by, the issue only become more apparent and critical. It is no longer a matter of political issues. What is taken place here is far more complex and serious than what took place in the civil war in the United States. The racism issue in America is merely a one or two way perspective. Yet, what we are facing today are debates that may not have a right or wrong answer. In response to comments made by CLOWN and CJ earlier, peace, harmony, and booming economy opportunities aren't as easy as unifying with China. To maintain current status may be the best thing for both sides at presence. After all, even if in the entire nation of Taiwan is committed to independence, Taiwan may still never be able to do so. The reality is the rest of the world is on China's side for economical concerns and benefits. With less people, less land, less money, and less power, Taiwan is like a little child that has seldom power to defend itself. A child that demands for attention and dying to get respect from the elders and at the same time only want to be treated equally. Taiwan can never speak as loud as China. Taiwan can never threaten the way China do to us. Taiwan can only hope for a miracle. The DPP saying today that we have no reason nor obligation to treat our enemy with sincerity and respect. How can you blame them? If a guest comes to your home is someone that has repeatedly threaten to harm you if you go against their will, should you open your arms with welcoming invitation? Better question to ask is if someone openly denies you, restrict your actions and rights, WHY WOULD YOU EVEN INVITE THEM TO YOUR HOME IN THE FIRST PLACE? Clearly, thats just an example of our ignorant government mishandling the events. Our KMT government wants to make friend with our potential "enemy". The word enemy is questionable but certainly by their actions has proven they are more of a foe than a friend to us. In no way am I elated to see the animosity building. But equally important to say is that, the anger and frustration that has surfaced in Taiwanese people today is surely not something that begin this year. This momentum of hatred happens for good reasons. That even with the diverse beliefs in political views and parties in Taiwan, majority of Taiwanese can agree on one thing. Taiwan is not part of China. Taiwan should have its right to decide for our own future for the better or worse. More importantly, we should be able to do so without sacrifices made to the mainland. It is only then, that the standard for both sides can be critique fairly. It is then, both sides are treated equally and with respect.

I, much like many of you, come on this site after seeing his brave action on tv news. Thus, I have no intention to defend the guy for personal reason. Being in states for over 18 years now, I am not a ABC or ABT, but I can understand where the guy is coming from. Much like him, I have the same passion for my country and isn't afraid to announce it. For the guy that said he feels that it is cowardly for Eric to rush onto the stage in front of chairman Chang and contested boldly, THINK AGAIN. You really think by marching the protest outside is the only civil and politically correct way to express yourself? You think by acting calmly and more rationally will justify his opinion more? When was the last time in the history of this planet has a so called peaceful demonstration been effective? Why do you think people hold demonstrations and protests? Maybe because the people have given enough time and chances to see that if they don't take actions and matters in their own hands, that they may never get an opportunity to do so! You think thats too drastic? Or maybe if you just try to imagine how Taiwan will be like when it is taken over by the communist. Better yet, just look at Hong Kong! Be my guest and ask anyone living there on the changes they see before and after China have taken over. And needless to say, Hong Kong and Taiwan are NOT in the same situation. So then why should we obey or even consider to reunite with China? Explain to me someone HOW CAN YOU REUNITE WITH A COUNTRY THAT WAS NEVER PART OF US IN THE BEGINNING? And how funny it is to hear Mr Chang to openly say " If Taiwan don't pursue independence, there will be no war guaranteed? And to make matter worse, how about our own "president" Ma to say it alongside. This isn't an example of " was there chicken first or egg first". Clearly, the people of Taiwan know well that the logic of NO INDEPENDENT NO WAR makes absolute no sense. Furthermore, it only proves even more that China has once again positioned itself as a militant nation that simply believes in violence solves problem. How ironic is that? Mr Chang, Mr Ma, and the KMT all condemned the pushing incident as a form of violence, and yet they can not realize what triggers it. Certainly, two wrong does not make it right. But if they can dig the issue deeper, they may then come to a realization of the truth. Let there be one standard and this will be efforts made by all sides. Remember, TREAT OTHERS HOW YOU LIKE TO BE TREATED.

You really think by sayin that you're here just for that purpose will ease the tension and justify your trip here? Get out of here forreals! Tell me this anyone: WHO DO YOU KNOW SHAKE HANDS WITH SOMEONE THAT HAS POINTED A GUN TO YOUR HEAD?????? If you haven't, don't come on here and say why can't we be friends with them. For China to have missiles pointing right towards our side is just like being pointed at gunpoint. Don't give me that if this then no that. It is wrong to have the mentality to use force of any kind period. If you have problem with Taiwan seeking for independence, settle it like how you demanded the civilized way. And let's not even begin to talk about Lian Jan and Song Su Yu. Who in the right mind would go to the opposition side and shake hands no once but on several occasions throughout the recent years. Put it this way, NOT EVEN CHIANG KAI SHEK HAVE DONE IT BEFORE! One nation or not is beside the point here, but you just don't go over there and evidently surrenders to their side. it isn't just laughable but it also amazes the Chinese themselves. I say if we want respect from China and the rest of the world, let's straighten things out internally first. Having multiple voices only give reasons for China to say that the pro-independent party is just the minority.

Eric can talk about independence all he wants, but I bet if China attacks taiwan, he will be on the next plane to LA.

Divisive politics in Taiwan is what is driving the economy down. Due to political instability and corruption, investors are pulling out of Taiwan. It is both the Blue and the Greens' fault that Taiwan is going down. There are more issues than the Taiwan/China issue, and perhaps we should focus on other things if the cross-strait conundrums cannot be solved.

My Dad and I saw you on the FTV's news all the way from Brisbane, Australia through our satellite tv. I then embarked on a mission to find your blog (couldn't remember your website on the tv as it flashed by too quickly) to say - congratulations on publicizing your voice on the tellie! Keep up the great work!

We are proud supporters of anyone who sticks up for Taiwan and its independence.

I can't believe people are telling you to give up your American citizenship just to show that you "love" Taiwan more....

Do these people know that outside Taiwan, no other government accepts or acknowledges Taiwan as a "country" and therefore there is no issue about dual citizenship because technically, people like you and me don't have a "second" citizenship...

Anyone can be "Taiwanese" if they love Taiwan and stick up for its independence. Doesn't matter if their skin colour is white, yellow or black.

Take Dodgy Mr Ma for example. He's "Taiwanese" and has basically lived in Taiwan most of his life, but unfortunately, he still doesn't believe in Taiwan's sovereignty and wants to become China's lap-dog.

I just hope there are more of you out there supporting Taiwan as we're becoming an endangered species!

维基百科，自由的百科全书

「言論自由」是按照自己的意願自由地發表言論以及「聽取他人陳述意見的權利」。近來，它通常被理解為包含了充分的表述的自由，包括了創作及發佈電影、照片、歌曲、舞蹈及其它各種形式的富有表現力的資訊。

《世界人权宣言》
言論自由在联合国颁布的《世界人权宣言》中的第十九条及《公民及政治权利国际盟约》第十九條被明确定义：

《世界人权宣言》中的第十九条：

“ 人人有主張及發表自由之權；此項權利包括保持主張而不受干涉之自由，及經由任何方法不分國界以尋求、接收並傳播消息意見之自由。 ”

《公民及政治权利国际盟约》第十九條：

一．人人有保持意见不受干预之权利。
二．人人有发表自由之权利；此种权利包括以语言、文字或出版物、艺术或自己选择之其他方式，不分国界，寻求、接受及传播各种消息及思想之自由。

王議員為了選舉造勢，故意帶媒體去施暴；民進黨為了1025遊行動員，激起仇恨與對立，這些都是政治操作的手法。

At 7:54 AM , Anonymous said...: to longliveroc,
i see the value of your comment and do respect your opinion, because we are a democratic society which allows different point of view and opinions, ain’t it? However, in my opinion, just because your family members have forgiven the KMT, you cannot expect other victims of the 228 massacre to do the same as you, because every one is different and has different level of tolerance or forgiveness, whatever you want to call it, and even some people can just get over it easily, but what i was saying is that, what about the people that could not forgive and forget? Should we just disregard their feeling? In addition, the 228 massacre is a major serious event in modern and recent history of Taiwan, and as Taiwanese, it is our right to know the truth and our own history, but the KMT ruled ROC government would not even permit for a real investigation which would allow us to identify all facts and truth, and if realized, such an investigation could eventually teach our future generations of our past and be responsible for not repeating the same mistake as the KMT had made back in the late 1940. Granted, the KMT has “apologized” in a pseudo way, and only do so as any election approaches, but yet, not very sincerely at all when they do so, and if they did sincerely regret, they would have opened up an investigation to reveal the truth to the public, but they have declined and blocked the law and requests one too many times, so ask yourself, how could the rest of the victims carry on and move forward peacefully without “forgive and forget” to begin with?

My ancestors came from china nearly 400 years ago, but that does not mean I am more Taiwanese than any of the people in Taiwan, but I know for a fact that I am not Chinese because there are other ethnics mixed in my blood besides of Chinese Minnan. However, I do not deny “waishenren” as being Taiwanese at all; as long as they identify themselves as Taiwanese, recognize Taiwan as their motherland, just for the record, I despite the term “waisheren”, I am more agreed upon the term “new immigrants”, but if they do see themselves as Chinese citizen, keyword –citizen! then they aren’t Taiwanese at all. Being Taiwanese, that includes Chinese (Han, Minnan, Hakka), Formosan aborigines, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Pilipino, Caucasian, Dutch, French, Japanese, Portuguese, Spanish, Black, Latin, American, etc., whatever your “bloodline” runs within and wherever your ancestor came from, and again, as long as you call yourself Taiwanese and recognize Taiwan as your motherland, then you are Taiwanese, and there’s no doubt about it. In my opinion, it comes down to self-identification, we call the people in the US as Americans because they are Americans, and we don’t identify American by their “bloodline” and neither do the Americans themselves, just as you can’t call a white person – Dutch, German, French, nor British…or call any African Americans as Senegalese or other specific African descent (although most of their ancestors came from west Africa). Again, self-identification is the key, an ex-coworker of mine who is a white descendant of South African, a 7th generation of European South African as he claimed, and he’d told me, ever since the blacks took over the government of South Africa, his family and him want to and have tried to return to Germany where his ancestors had came from. To me, that’s an example of self-identification crisis. Some of the White South Africans have been to Africa for generations, and formed a country through hardship, but still, some of them couldn’t identify themselves as Africans. Similarly, in Taiwan, if some “new immigrants” – which includes foreign brides and “waishenren” as you call, don’t identify themselves as Taiwanese nor recognize Taiwan as their homeland, then Taiwan would be in trouble definitely, especially, on its lacking of unity.

I do not doubt your love for Taiwan, and as a matter of fact, I appreciate your love for Taiwan, even if you are ABC, ABT, white, black, whatever, as long as you love Taiwan and stand for Taiwan’s democracy against every threat coming from China, then we shouldn’t doubt your love for our motherland. However, if ROC government and its legislation body do love Taiwan as much as you and I, then I urge the KMT to revise the outdated, Chinese version of constitution to only include its legal and sovereign territories as of Taiwan (Formosa), Penghu (Pescadores), Kingman and Matsu, because by stating every part of China as our territory within OUR constitution does not reflect the reality of the world today, but only shows how foolish and backward thinking the government is. Lastly, if dwelling on the 228 massacre incident happened in 1947 is not moving forward, then the KMT is even further behind us, because the KMT does not only dwell on its past “prime time” still by stating our neighboring country, PRC’s sovereign land, as part of our country, but also kid the KMT itself and its party members with an unrealistic lie.

Long Live Formosa and Its Democracy and Freedom!

I am Taiwanese, born and raised in Taiwan, and Taiwan is my homeland, so my choice would be the independence of Taiwan without any doubt, and I don't even need to think harder or twice about it. The question was a no brainer to me, it's like asking us if we should care about the health system in Korea or the Phillipines...duh! they have nothing to do with us, and neither does the democray in China..I am not chinese, China is just a neighboring country, so we should i give a damn about democracy in China or not? However, being Asian, if China ever did become a democratic country, I wouldn't mind to see that happen at all, otherwise...democratic or not, I really do not give a shi8t about china, period.
At 10:31 AM , Anonymous said...: Being polite to demonstrate Taiwan’s treasured Democracy depends on what kind of people you face; if it is China, then, this is certainly wrong to just be as quiet as clam at specific degree when realizing China deploys thousands of destructive missiles and weapon aimed at Taiwan meanwhile. If you don’t, even in your homeland, it will be likely and easily to be distortedly interpreted as a successful step for communist conspiracy toward annexation of Taiwan which could stir plenty of irrational patriots in China to cover up communist own commitment, toxic milk with melamine to kill infants, the riots everywhere on account of the corruption of communists etc.
However, KMT after it did its best to craftily deceive those idiots to win the legislator and president votes starts to betray mainstream and bully Taiwanese by colluding with China secretly. Thus, your guts pulling no political punches, instead of being a coward, which is an obvious difference between Taiwanese and Chink, get really appreciated!

At 10:40 AM , Unknown said...: 英專家：民進黨圍城抗議造成台灣民主倒退
更新日期:2008/11/07 00:03
（中央社記者黃貞貞倫敦六日專電）英國知名中國問題專家，牛津大學政治系教授曾銳生說，民主進步黨在大陸海峽兩岸關係協會會長陳雲林訪問台灣期間，發動大規模的圍城抗爭活動，此舉不僅破壞台灣得來不易的民主制度，並造成民主發展倒退，民進黨對台灣民主發展確曾有貢獻，但交出執政權後的表現，令人失望。

曾銳生接受中央社記者訪問時表示，民進黨如果對執政黨的政策不滿，宜透過台灣政治制度內的管道表達，展現成熟的民主政治，而不是召集群眾上街鬧事；健康的民主制度是台灣的最大本錢，民進黨發動抗議活動，造成民主倒退，破壞民主發展，對台灣不利。

長期研究中國問題的曾銳生說，民進黨在推動台灣民主發展有特殊貢獻，民進黨執政前發動上街抗議活動可以理解，但是在執政下台後仍繼續用這個方式操作，未免太不負責任。

他特別以日前落幕的美國大選為例，指出美國共和黨總統候選人馬侃在確定落敗後，呼籲支持者接受並支持新總統歐巴馬，同時表示會盡個人一切力量，協助歐巴馬執政，他展現的政治風範令人景仰，相對之下，民進黨的表現遠遠不及，令人遺憾。

曾銳生認為，陳雲林訪問台灣具有重要正面意義，提昇了兩岸關係，民進黨激烈的抗議行動，對台灣與大陸的關係不但沒有負面衝擊，反而有積極影響。

他說，相信北京政府可以了解馬英九為改善兩岸關係，在台灣面臨不小的反對，他已盡了最大努力，如此一來大陸會更珍惜馬英九政府的存在，不會逼迫馬英九在離民意太遠的議題上作太多讓步。

針對馬英九總統與陳雲林的會面，曾銳生表示，整個會面是成功的，馬英九透過會面，達到向海峽兩岸及全球民眾展示，他盡力推動兩岸穩定關係的努力，同時保全他中華民國總統的身份，陳雲林在會面中也未有任何失當的言行，達到北京希望兩岸關係穩定，推動三通與合作的目的。

總結陳雲林的訪台之行，曾銳生指出，陳雲林的訪問對兩岸無疑是件好事，簽署空運、海運、郵政與食品安全四項協議，並沒有令人意外的發展。971106

最近臺灣電影《海角七號》是用充滿「愛」與「勇氣」的劇情感動了海峽兩岸的眾多觀眾。劇中阿嘉失意的人生由於友子的愛情而重燃，60年前日籍教師的愛情不因時光久遠而失去光澤。這部電影讓我們見證了「愛」的偉大，也讓我們對平凡臺灣人的愛恨情仇有了更為深刻的認知。我們深知，大多數的臺灣人都像我們一樣，都懷有一顆感恩之心，並對我們周邊的人充滿著寬容與愛意。但是，近期臺灣民進黨的種種表現，特別是海協會陳雲林會長訪台期間的種種不理性行為，也讓我們看到另外一批人臺灣人的另一面，那就是民進黨支持者們身上、心中所表現出來的不可理愈的「恨」意。一種對大陸的無名之限，對臺灣政府的無為之恨，對國民黨的奪權之恨，對國際社會的不理解之恨，甚至還有對臺灣中間民眾的不支持之恨。

民進黨作為一個曾經在臺灣具有8年執政經驗的主要政黨，他們的支持者哪來的那麼多的恨呢？如果說大陸與臺灣在歷史上早有積怨，那也應該是中國國民黨更加仇恨大陸才對，對於成立剛剛20年的民進黨，與中國大陸之間幾乎沒有什麼黨際恩怨。如果說當前的民進黨支持者與大陸之間有利益衝突，那麼臺灣每年從大陸獲取近千億美元的貿易順差，大陸陸續出臺惠及南部臺灣的優惠措施，民進黨的支持者應該更能從兩岸交流中獲益才對。但是，民進黨的支持者們卻沒有從中國大陸的惠台政策中體會到善意，也沒有從日益一體化的全球發展大趨勢中體認到兩岸合作的必要性，相反，卻陷入他們自己的劃定的「仇恨」怪圈之中。在民進黨的意識形態裏，「恨」是它的主軸，「恨」成了它反臺灣外省人、反華反中的核心價值。民進黨讓自己的支持者一直生長在仇恨之中，並最終在仇恨的基礎上發展到暴力抗爭，然後再用「仇恨」來合理化綠色民眾的一系列暴力行為。

民進黨以「恨」為綱，首先是由它支持者的社會結構所決定的。在民進黨成立之前及其成立之初，臺灣在國民黨的高壓統治之下，一直將臺灣當作反攻大陸的基地，對臺灣的經濟社會抱有一種「過客心態」，再加上當時國民黨當局對臺灣思想文化領域的控制，經濟建設領域重北輕南，造成中南部民眾，特別是中南部中下層民眾對國民黨統治的極大不滿，這些不滿民眾構成了民進黨的社會基礎，成為民進黨支持者與國民黨支持者之間政治對立的社會根源。

其次，民進黨支持者的「恨」在很大程度上與一些民進黨政客的刻意民意操弄有關。一些臺灣政客為了自己的政治利益，喜歡並擅於操弄「恨」這個元素來做為他們權力的營養，惡意煽動型政客將臺灣社會按照最基本的矛盾點展開仇恨式的二分法進行切割，用「統—獨」、「外省—本省」、「外來—本土」、「賣台—愛台」這樣的說辭，刻意製造臺灣的民意衝突與對立，在選戰中使用抹黑、造謠、扣帽子這些伎倆，加深民進黨支持者們的仇恨意識。

第三，臺灣目前所面臨的日益困難的政治經濟環境，也成為民進黨支持者們的仇恨一個重要來源。臺灣是亞洲地區經濟開發較早的經濟體，在20世紀70-80年代，臺灣就作為「亞洲四小龍」之一，成為引領亞洲經濟發展的典範。近年來，由於受到國際經濟大環境與自身經濟增長潛力有限的影響，臺灣的經濟增長長期陷入停頓狀態，特別是與快速崛起的中國大陸地區相比，臺灣相對于大陸地區在經濟領域的領先優勢逐漸喪失，造成臺灣民眾在心理上的危機意識，特別是對於處於相對社會底層的民進黨支持者而言，其對社會的不滿情緒更為激烈，再加上對民進黨在近期一些選舉中的失利，更加激化了他們以「恨」為綱的負面想法。

應該說，民進黨支持者們的「仇恨」意識有其特定的社會背景，是臺灣特有的政治經濟環境下催生出來的一種社會現象，民進黨這種以「恨」為綱的意識形態，不僅對兩岸關係的和平發展和臺灣社會的安定團結是有害的，就是對民進黨本身的成長與轉型也是有百害而無一益。在民進黨執政時期，以「恨」為綱的執政理念窄化了它的政策思維與執行能力，使民進黨在內政上無法有所表現；下臺後的民進黨，仍然堅持以恨為基調，積極向深綠民眾靠近，與基本盤相互取悅，彼此取暖，無法走出新的政治格局，近期更是在仇恨情緒的驅使下做出種種不理性的行為，讓臺灣一夜之間成為「暴力之島」，更讓臺灣在「民主」蒙羞。如果民進黨的支持者再不轉變這種以恨為綱的思維理念，相信在不久的將來，民進黨的支持者將會只剩下為數不多的基本盤，成為日益被臺灣廣大民眾所拋棄的政黨。

當前，海協-海基兩會的制度化協商模式已經正式建立，兩岸之間的經貿交流也會因剛剛簽署的四項協議而快速推進，兩岸民眾之間相互理解與溝通的管道也更加暢通，民進黨的支持者們也應該轉變一下自己的思維模式了，希望民進黨的支持者們有機會能夠到大陸看一看，看一看大陸民眾對臺灣的善意與期待，用理解與溝通化解「恨」，讓交流與共同利益編織「愛」。正如陳雲林在臺灣期間拜會慈濟證嚴法師所說的那樣，大愛是遍佈全世界的，兩岸同胞都是骨肉同胞，應該有相互關愛之心，大愛精神會沖淡兩岸之間的這樣或那樣的矛盾和問題。希望民進黨的支持者能夠象陳會長一樣深刻體會證嚴法師的「大愛精神」，記住證嚴法師的話：「世人要以「大愛」之心相互包容，世界上讓人內心祥和的只有一個字，那就是「愛」。

That is such a stupid question!

Taiwanese have suffered 60 years under that defunct ROC-Chinese KMT’s Marsh Law, a foreign power, 15% of minority (the Mainlander-Chinese) ruling the 85% of Taiwanese. The KMT regime persecuted ethnic Taiwanese, killing tens of thousands of them and imprisoning many Taiwanese leaders, professionals, scholars and activists between 1947 and 1987.

Over the past three weeks, seven DPP members have been questioned, arrested or detained by the KMT authorities, including former National Security Council secretary-general Chiou I-jen, DPP Chiayi County Commissioner Chen Ming-wen, former minister of the interior Yu
Cheng-hsien and city or county officials in Tainan and Yunlin. The Yulin county supervisor Mrs. Su tzy-fiun is on hunger strike in prison, protests that she is innocence.

"The political neutrality of the judicial system is an
essential element in a democracy. It is also essential that
any accused [is] considered innocent until proven guilty in
the court of law.

But the news media in Taiwan is controlled by the KMT, the judicial system is controlled by the KMT. Prosecutor’s office leaked to news media. "This kind of 'Trial by Press' is a violation
of the basic standards of judicial procedures in western countries. It also gives the distinct impression that the Kuomintang-KMT authorities are using the judicial system to get even with members of the former DPP government.

Because of the KMT’s conduct that painted Taiwan’s democracy backward.

The “WHITE TERROR” has returned under the KMT-Mr. Ma ying-joe now.
At 4:09 PM , Anonymous said...: "Taiwanese have suffered 60 years under that defunct ROC-Chinese KMT’s Marsh Law,"

你頭殼壞掉了啊? What kind of "suffering"? Let's see. Was it "suffering" that Taiwan used to be the strongest of 亞洲四小龍 in terms of economic development. Was it suffering that Taiwanese always have freedom moving freely anywhere they liked? Was it "suffering" that there are so many farmers and land owners (田僑仔) who got rich from selling their lands during the economic development? (BTW, 田僑仔 are mostly so-called "Taiwanese"). Was it suffering that Taiwanese even elected a "三級貧戶之子" as it President TWICE who made millions and millions of USD from bribery and public funds?

Stop making up stories about how bad it was under KMT rule. Why don't you move to Myanmar today and then come back to tell us what real suffering is like under tyranny.

"Over the past three weeks, seven DPP members have been questioned, arrested or detained by the KMT authorities, including former National Security Council secretary-general Chiou I-jen, DPP Chiayi County Commissioner Chen Ming-wen, former minister of the interior YuCheng-hsien and city or county officials in Tainan and Yunlin. The Yulin county supervisor Mrs. Su tzy-fiun is on hunger strike in prison, protests that she is innocence."

Chen Ming-Wen's and Su tzy-fiun's corruption cases had been under invesitigation for more than two years when DPP was still in power. Any politician who accept bribery should be prosecuted. Mrs. Su tzy-fiun could have made bail and get her day in court. Instead she declined bail and want to try her case in the media by pulling a 絕食 stunt.

Chiou I-jen should be hung if it's proven that he embezzled Taiwan's secret diplomacy fund for his personal use, especially knowing how hard it has been for Taiwan's check book diplomacy- 發國難財的人是最另人不齒的!!!

阮祖公過海來台灣時,你祖公可能還在大陸當外省人勒,所以我最不齒打族群牌悲情牌

國民黨這一路過來對台灣的貢獻比那一群只會出一支嘴的民進黨多幾萬倍.
沒有國民黨和那一群離鄉背井的"老芋頭",台灣早就在WWII後被大陸統一了.

"Do you know how many elite had been killed during the pass sixty years?" How many? why don't you just pull a nubmer out of your hat. DPP has made up so many numbers that any number sounds good to me.

You Sound like someone whose family missed being ruled by the Japs. Do you know how many Taiwanese men (軍伕) were forced to fight in the Japanese army against their will and never returned? Of course you don't care and will not remember to mention and is all for glorifying the Japs. Your family is probably one of those "elites" who gladly served the Japs to suppressed Taiwanese.

Do you know how many Taiwanese women were forced to serve as army prostitutes (aka Comfort Women 慰安婦) against their will during WWII? Of course you don't care and will not remember to mention and is all for glorifying the Japs. Your family is probably one of those "elites" who gladly served the Japs to suppressed Taiwanese.

The Japs never apologized to the Taiwanese 軍伕's family for the lost lives and the forced prostitutes. However, people like you happily forgive the Japs and never said a word about the Taiwanese 軍伕 killed.

If you are so willing to forgive the Japs for their war crimes during WWII, why do you keep overlooking the contribution that KMT made in Taiwan? What about the economic development 70's, 80's and 90's? How about KMT's education policy that allowed a "三級貧戶之子" to get the first rate education and became Taiwan's President TWICE? Without KMT, Taiwan is already part of China. Do you think that America would have supported Taiwan without KMT in Taiwan?

台灣人成為日本的動員機器，不斷教育為天皇效忠的天職，受到天朝洗腦的台灣學生、成為日本皇朝的順民，台灣所生產的物質與人力，皆為天皇效命。
1937年以後，日本為因應戰爭動員，用種種手段榨取台灣物資，並徵調台灣囝仔上戰場賣命。1945年8月15日本投降，台灣再度經歷「改朝換代」的陣痛與掙扎，原為日本籍的台灣兵，處境更是淒涼。三萬人捐軀中國與南洋戰場；生還者回到台灣，許多人在228清鄉中消失，更多人在國民政府的高壓統治下忍辱噤聲，不敢讓人知道他為日本賣命打仗的辛酸史。
1941年，總督府應法屬印度支那派遣軍之請，以奉公團名義，召募1,000名軍屬上前線。此後又派出6團，分赴菲律賓、馬來西亞、新幾內亞等地。此外又有台灣特設農業團、台灣特設勤勞團、建設團等徵調方式。其中「台灣特設勤勞團」一直到1944年7月海上航路中斷前，已經出團30次，人數多達2萬8千名。
海軍方面，則徵調海軍工員，負責修築軍營，道路等戰地設施。此外還徵台灣人到海南島擔任「巡查補」，也就是警察的助手。不少巡查補到戰地不久，被編入海軍陸戰隊，在國軍、共軍、民兵三方攻勢下做生死戰。
1941年6月，日本內閣決議在台灣實施志願兵制，1942年起接受申請，受訓從高雄港出發。第一期士兵被投入戰場最南端，澳洲北部的帝汶島，作家陳千武就是這期的志願兵，日後並將這段艱辛的戰地經驗寫入小說。一直到1945年徵兵制實施前，陸軍志願兵總數約有5,000多名。
1943年8月，開始接受海軍志願兵申請。共實施六期，只有第一期的1,000人訓練較為完整，以後每期錄取2,000名，因戰事激烈，訓練減少；後四期連訓練都取消，直接編入海兵團。派出海外的是前兩期。第二期死傷慘重，200名搭乘「護國號」往日本的台灣兵遭美軍炸沉；其他送往越南、印尼、菲律賓的台灣兵，只有一半在戰後生還。
第二次大戰，日本國土的戰力消耗很快，為了補充戰鬥人員，台灣成為補集點，除了戰物資，加上由軍伕─軍屬─軍人往上提升的台灣軍人地位，為了是事實上的需要，其原因之乃在於台灣人受日治教育的普及，台灣人普遍認為自己就是真正的日本皇民，台灣投入大量的軍力、人力，做為正式日本皇軍，進入東亞戰場賣命。
1945年1月，日本由於戰局失利，為了固守台灣，開始對台灣人實施徵兵制。這一年滿20歲的青年，共有45,726人接受兵役檢查，大部份以現役兵入營股役。這批台灣兵大都派在台灣本島巡弋海岸、防衛軍事要地。
1942年，陸軍志願兵實施同時，辦理憲兵補(憲兵助手)、看護助手的志願申請。因此也有一群嚮往南丁格爾精神的台灣女性志願應募，前往戰地照顧傷兵。為了因應叢林作戰的需求，秘密徵調台灣各族原住民8,000人以上，編為高砂義勇隊，遠赴南方戰場，在前線做軍伕與游擊隊。這些原住民表現英勇，是戰爭中的傳奇；但犧牲最慘，生還者可能不到1/10。
不論軍屬、志願兵、高砂義勇隊或護士，每一次海外徵用都用總督府或皇民奉公會，而非軍方的名義公告，規定應募者資格、工作內容、薪資與需求人數，看起來像是海外工作的機會，吸引不少人參加。
官方並透過御用媒體加以渲染。陸軍志願兵接受申請時，官方宣稱42萬人應募，數字的真實性令人懷疑。軍方更在各媒體刊載「感謝聖恩」的宣傳，以煽動青年志願從軍的熱潮。加上如火如荼的皇民化教育，以及學校、街庄長、警察軟硬兼施的「催徵」，台灣人或自願或被迫，紛紛被動員出征。
實際上，台灣兵共同的想法是經濟考量。由於戰爭拖累經濟，不少家庭生計艱苦；青年留在台灣，每天都有密集的軍訓和勞役，幾乎難以安定工作；而到海外當軍屬的薪資，幾乎是基層警察的三倍……種種因素驅使青年離鄉背井，去打一場連自己也不知道多危險的戰爭。日本戰事失利，台灣軍人的命運不再是日本皇軍，死得更慘，主要在於台灣人被輪流殖民的結果，並顯示出台灣人沒有建國的觀念，而願意不斷地接受新殖民者的強制統治。不幸的事件波波襲來，日本軍民投降之後可以回到日本，台灣人組成的日本皇軍投降了，回到台灣了嗎？慘也。

Not all Taiwanese "appreciated" the Japs as much as you do. If you have the capacity to forgive the Japs for what they did to Taiwanese, you should have some decency to look beyond the 228 tragedy- the one incident that kept being used by DDP even though 228 was more about KMT against communists. 228 was not a TI movement.

抗議17年有成慰安婦對日求償立院通過決議
更新日期:2008/11/12 04:34 何醒邦／台北報導
奮鬥十七年的慰安婦對日求償運動，終於有成！立法院院會昨天決議，要求日本政府正式對慰安婦道歉和賠償，獲得不分黨派支持，雖決議文不具強制法律效力，但至少在性別與人權教育上向前邁進，同樣也令慰安婦阿嬤們振奮無比。
高齡九十二歲的台籍慰安婦阿嬤代表吳秀妹聽聞後感慨表示，十多年來不斷到日本抗議，日方都裝聾作啞，「今天感謝政府幫忙出一口氣。」
台灣是全球第五個正式以國會通過、要求日本賠償的國家。另外，南韓總統李明博最近接受英國「泰晤士報」訪問時也表示，日本明仁天皇應倣效戰敗後的德國，對在亞洲的侵略行為懺悔。
立法院院會昨天決議通過，要求日本政府以「清楚且不曖昧的態度，正式承認、道歉且接受戰時日軍性奴隸制度的歷史責任」，並對受害倖存者直接謝罪和賠償，以利早日回復慰安婦受害者名譽和尊嚴，遵守聯合國人權委員會建議，教育這一代和下一代正確史實。
該決議由民進黨立委黃淑英、賴清德、潘孟安、及國民黨立委楊麗環共同提案，共有廿四人連署，並獲不分黨派支持。
提案說明指出，二次世界大戰期間，日本在殖民地及占領區，強迫欺騙誘拐徵召無數婦女與少女充當從軍性奴隸，日本政府至今不願正式承認此戰爭責任，且多次否認事實，並拒絕以日本政府名義道歉與賠償，受害者至今仍蒙受難以痊癒的傷害。而台灣慰安婦倖存者如今已八、九十歲，皆希望在有生之年解決賠償問題，伸張人權，恢復名譽與尊嚴。

2. Oops.. let's forget the great death and suffering caused by our Japs masters during WWII, because of the supposedly prosperous Taiwan was before WWII and after 1920. & never mind the poverty due to the WWII started by our Japs Colonial Master.

Then:
1. KMT killed some commies in 228 post WWII
2. Because of the 228 deaths, let's forget about the great economic development and wealth that KMT and Taiwanese pulled off with stable polictical environment and great policies instituted.

Of course I know people like you.. Once a Japs colonial slave, always a Japs colonial slave for generations.
