I feel the opposite. Many fellow students from Taiwan think that if you have a
different view on things related to democracy, TI, social problem with them, 
then you must be a pro-CCP. They always tell you that you have not get rid of
the influences of CCP's teaching. Although they know that I have been in the 
free world for about 10 years and have experienced the democratic system of 
Japan and US.

How about the Taiwan side? I once asked a group of fellow students from Taiwan
why Taiwan goverment does not relax the restrictions on mainlanders visiting
Taiwan. They told me that the main reason is that they fear too many CCP's
spies might be sent to Taiwan. I even leart "Jing-Ti, Fei-Die-Jiou-Zai-Shen
-Bian"(be alerted, enemy(CCP) is just under your nose). I know there are also
some other real problem such as labor flow,etc, but they even seemed not 
knowing that.

Too ofen, Taiwanness students want to talk about their economic strength in
front of mainlanders. Of course, I totally recognize this point, I think
mainlanders shoud learn much much more about running economy from today's
Taiwan. However, if I often tell you about the military power to you Taiwan
students, will you feel something uncomfortable?

Talking about economy, this reminds me the ruling of KMT before 1949. If KMT
did not Zhuan-Jing(reteated) to Taiwan, one possibility is that Taiwan might
not be as prosperous as it is now, mainland might be even worse than its
current situation. I always think KMT has a big responsibility for the
mainlander's suffering under CCP's ruling.

I do not think China is strong enough. Much much more needs to be done to make
China stronger and stronger. At least , that is what I hope to see, no matter
it is achieved under which party's ruling. Since that will benifit the Chinese
people.

Correct your mistake, China's GNP is not only 400 USD. I guess you mean China's
GNP per capita. If you read more about economic magzine or news, you will know
that World Bank's estimation about China's GNP per capita is totally 
meaningless. Even their own analysists acknowledge this. You know, according to
World Bank's this estimation, China will be one of the 25 world's poorest 
country. However, many many economic analysists do not agree. Of course, 
mainlanders need to work harder, even harder, on the economy.

>There is no single nation in the world that its own people are still
>suffering from jobless, homeless can be called an economy power. 

How about The United States of America?

I seldomly read scc due to the biased arguments among different interest
group. I was looking for some news about the lost Australian sattelite in 
this group. However, when I read the quoted posting, I could not help telling
some of my story. I did not mean to offend any body.

I think the meaningless arguments will not help solve any problem such as TI,
mailand's economy, democracy in mainland, ending CCP's ruling, ending KMT's
ruling, etc........... This kind of arguments is not real discussion.
The real discussion should be much less biased to any side of the strait. 

My professor is a native Taiwanness and a strong TIer. However, I can often 
discuss political problems across the strait with him. Because we both agree 
that any action(TI, unification,etc,...) should be judged based on if it can 
benifit the people of both sides of the strait most.
