     That is my point.  You must be one of the KMT supporters.
     If there are two countries claiming legitimacy of the same land,
     we have to select one, not both.  And that is why PROC keeps
     asking other countries to quit the diplomatic tie with ROC
     whenever she opens new relationship, I guess.

    Thanks for your opinion.

    As far as I know, PROC want that for their new embassy.  Do you think
    you can sell the property to them?  I am sorry I do not know much
    detail about it.

    I know you're just kidding.  But, not only you but also several other
    e-mails I have received were mentioning negatively about students'
    movement in Korea (sorry again I don't know how to quote multiple
    memos in my posting).  One guy even reminded we should learn from
    confucism and christianity.  Besides christianity, I actually
    learned about the revolution from confucism, not Marx and Lenin.
    We have to stand against unjustified forces.

    Some years ago, a Congressman in Korea was arrested due to his
    congressional speech that the national policy in the constitution
    should be modified to re-unification instead of anti-communism.
    Such circumstances have been changed a lot in these days due to
    students' continuous movement (first credit), and outside atmosphere
    (second credit).

    Does this kind of attitude of yours mean justification of long-
    lasting KMT dictatorship?  If you are for the KMT, does the people
    against KMT still refrain from speaking in public?

    Thanks.  I would also appreciate any opinion from Taiwanese
    who are against KMT.
