Stop Bush-talk, show us some real thing.
For example, force CCP to drop CCP's claim 'CCP will
use force to invade Taiwan no matter what.'
Sign a treaty with Taiwan to let Taiwanese know
Chinese all are GOOD and will never invade Taiwan,
will never have war with Taiwan.

Now, if that is too much, do you think your Bush-talk
will work on Taiwanese?


=While I am at this:
=1. Why no promise from Mainland not to use force?
=
=   I suspect Deng would probably do it if Taiwan/KMT promise not
=   to be independent.  [To the aging leader of CCP, they still have
=   fresh memories of aggression from foreign powers, and still
=   frame this issue as in internal affair.]
=
=   It is ironic that people think the declaration of not to use
=   force is so important, when the word of guarantee of the CCP government 
=   are often of suspect.  If USA could reverse an executive
=   order of not to sell arms to Taiwan, what would prevent CCP
=   from changing its mind about force?  CCP promised '50 years of
=   status quo' for Hong Kong, and there are very few people in HK
=   would take the promise at its face value seriously.

I guess you people from China just doen't get it.
They just don't understand democracy.
CCP is a dictatorship, if CCP says CCP will invade
Taiwan, do you think Taiwanese will take it easy?

If CCP says CCP will not invade Taiwan, Taiwanese
still will not believe it, but it is much better than
case above.

Now as to KMT, KMT certainly can promise you anything,
but it doesn't mean people in Taiwan agree with KMT.
KMT is a manager hired by people in Taiwan to manage
their country. CCP is the master of PRC and PRC(people)
is the salve of CCP. It is two totally different
story.

=
=   To me, such guarantee carries as much as weight as a 'no-layoff
=   policy' by a USA corporation. The company would try to keep its
=   promise, but when time is real bad, tough luck.  
=   
=
=2. Mainland's weapon is offensive, Taiwan's is defensive.

It is useless to talk about this, when Taiwan's survive
is in danger under constantly threat from CCP.
Taiwan will do whatever necessary to survive.

=3. About the F16's purchase...
=

Personaly, I hate to see our Tax money is spending on
weaponary. It would be much better to spend our tax
money on other area, BUT we are talking about a
huge nation PRC trying to invade Taiwan.

You can see on the net, everyone supports KMT's purchasing
more advance weaponary to defense Taiwan.

'everyone' means every Taiwanese including Ti-ers,
KMT-ers, DDP-ers, ROT-ers and others.


Interst to know those Chinese making a big fuss about
Taiwan's purchasing advance weaponary.

Those Chinese never spit a word that why CCP does not
spend more money to Chinese people, instead spending
money on buying jet, carrier, missiles from Russia.

Also Chinese seems more interest in Taiwan, HongKong,
SinGaPore, Tibet and China towns than their own
country PRC itself. If they transfer all their
energy putting on Taiwan to China itself, maybe
CCP has been replaced by a new democratic
government already.

IMHO, Chinese still have a long long way to go to
have a democratic government, or maybe they just
do not want a democratic government. I guess GREEN ONE
is much more attractive.  :-)
