  Yes, I'd like to see your personal opinion.  You can e-mail me, if you want.
I just didn't know there is any different between post your opinion here and
e-mail to me.  And if the writing in this article is not your personal
opinion, then whose opinion is it.  And also there maybe other people have the
same thought as yours, I want to have their answers, too.  I wish there are

That is what I am doing now.  

After reading some of the other post in this group, I figure out that you think
Taiwan has already been a independent country, which is a pretty much surprise
for me. 
Both KMT and CCP don't admit Taiwan is independent, why do you think it is?  
And I'd like to know how many people have the same idea as 'ROT''s?

Unfotunately, Ms. Chang-O's life is miserable on the Moon. According to
Tang Dunasty's record, before she decided to have drug and fly to the moon,
she visited a "Ri Zhei", and the "Gua" was:

Pian Pian Gui Mei, ( A beautiful lady )
Du Jiang Xi Xin. (is going to west along)
Wu Jing Wu Kong, (Don't be scared, don't fear)
Hou Quei Da Chang ( she will get prosperity later)

After she arrived at the moon, she found she got fatter and fatter. She finally
found herself becoming a "Nai Xia Ma" (a kind of frog living on land).

Sorry, but I did not make up this story. It is the earliest record (as early as
Zhang Hen in Han dynasty). Maybe James can find even earlier version?

The latest story, is recorded in a ZhiQinr's poem, which was composited after
Apollo-11 arrived on the Moon:

Wo Yu Chen Feng Qu, (I want to go with the wind)
Yin Qin Wen Chang-E: ( Greeting Ms Chang E)
Ke You ShouLiuDan (Do you have grenade)
Di Yu A Bo Lo? (to defend yourself from Appolo)

Nonetheless, let's enjoy Mid-Autumn, and have a good wish to Ms. Chang.

And the fact that many anti-TI people are *not* KMT or CCP seems to bother
them as well, if the personal attacks by our friend on the net is an
indication of how most TIers think.

Face it, ROT (what a nice abbreviation!); by grouping all non-for-TI (not
just anti-TI) people into either the Nationalist or the Communist camp, you
are alienating potential supporters of TI.  If that is what you want, fine;
but then don't expect Taiwan to *declare* independence for another century
or so.  You get your goals accomplished by increasing the base of support,
not by decreasing it.

I am certain about one thing ---
"Taiwanese wouldn't want to be ruled by CCP."
If CCP remains in power, there will be absolutely no peaceful unification.

If what Mr. Yang said is true --- CCP's crash brings major disorder
to mainland, why would Taiwanese choose to unify with a more messy mainland,
even though it's lousy enough now?

CHINESE NOW BOLDER IN CHALLENGING AUTHORITY

BEIJING -- The campaign by Mr. Deng Xiaoping and other Chinese leaders
for faster economic change seems to be having an unintended effect:
Dissidents and ordinary citizens are becoming a bit bolder in
challenging the authorities.

Partly because the hard-liners appear to be losing ground as the
airwaves fill with calls for reform, many Chinese say they find the
atmosphere looser and less ominous.

For the three years after the army's crackdown, the peace was preserved
through a balance of terror: the people were afraid of the government
and the government was afraid of the people.

"Losts of people are willing to be followers", said a Chinese journalist
in Beijing, "But no one wants to be the first to say anything.  There is
a saying: The first bird in the flock is the one that gets shot.  So
there are plenty of birds that want to fly, but not in front".

-ooOoo-

ROH TO VISIT CHINA THIS MONTH TO CEMENT TIES

BEIJING -- China announced that South Korean President Roh Tae Woo would
make a four-day visit later this month to cement ties between the two
former ideological foes.

The official Xinhua news agency quoted a Foreign Ministry spokesman as
saying that Mr. Roh would be visiting China from Sept 27 to Sept 30 at
the invitation of President Yang Shankun.

Mr. Roh is likely to discuss pacts on trade and investment protection as
well as opening direct air links between Seoul and Beijing.

TAIPEI EXPORTS SOAR TO US$7.3 BILLION

TAIPEI -- Taiwan's exports hit a single-month high of US$7.31 billion in
August, the highest recorded figure for many years, finance officials
said on Sunday.

The figure was 18.7 per cent up on August last year, and 6 per cent up
on the previous month, said Mr. Yang Tsai-yuan, the Finance Ministry's
director of statistics.

The trade surplus in August amounted to US$1.1 billion.

What kind of defeatism is this? S. Korea does have something I admire,
but this kind of defeatism is what's blocking Taiwan's progress :-(

I was in Seoul last summer and I learned firsthand why Koreans are
able to keep 3 auto manufacturers: I saw only 3 Japanese cars in
an entire day. Everyone drives either a Hyundai, Kia or Daewoo.
THey have a price to pay, though. Most models are from older designs.
Also I heard the engines in Hyundai are designed by Mitsubishi. Take
a look at Excel, they look just like Mitsubishi Precis.

Other compromises: a significant amount of foreign debt instead of
surplus. Last year, S. Korea had trade deficit, not surplus. And you
can ask any Koreans about their inflation problems(especially in
the 70s).

CCP's PRC is the main cause of ROC's diplomatic isolation but not KMT. Under
the current conditions, this year, Taiwan has established 18 new relations
with other countries in various forms, including embassies, ROC missions,
Taiepi culture and economy offices, etc. Our Foreign Ministry certainly
deserves applaude. If without pressure from CCP's PRC, ROC has already
had embassies around the world.

As for KMT's claim, as of August 1 1992, ROC has disclaimed the sovereignty
on the Mainland, etc places but on Taiwan and several small islands only.
Mr. ROT, you can disclaim your above statement too unless you want to use 
it for your own political purposes.

Again, as of August 1 1992, ROC has disclaimed the sovereignty on the 
Mainland, etc places but on Taiwan and several small islands only. KMT's
claim is not an issue anymore. 

Also, CCP's PRC has been saying that she will use forces on Taiwan under 
three conditions and Taiwan independence is one of them but not KMT's claim. 
That is why I said to Mr. ROT "If your "ROT" causes the war between Taiwan 
and Mainland China and ruins Taiwan. Do you agree you will be brought to 
criminal trial?" (Mr. ROT has stated "People(nation and ROC) has every 
right to prosecute KMT's purpose wrong doing against people's welfare").
Mr. ROT, could you please give us an answer?

Hmmm.  So I assume that is the reason that when you see a dissenting opinion,
you always brand the writer as a KMT agent/CCP agent/Tai2 Gien1.  Great way to

X-Sender: newtout 0.02 Aug 21 1992

This message summarizes what I've learned about the Big 5 format. I
welcome corrections or comments.

Big 5 is a computer standard for coding Chinese language files.  The
format is used primarily in Taiwan.  It is a 16 bit format, unlike
ASCII, which uses 7 bits.

ASCII text may be included in Big 5 documents, provided the 8th bit is
set to zero.  To code a Chinese character, two consecutive 8 bit
characters are used.

Coding Chinese Characters

To form an extended character, the first byte must be in the range
0xA1(161) to 0xF9(249), inclusive.  This signals that the next byte to
follow is part of an extended character.  The range allows 89
combinations.

The second byte can be in the range [0x40 to 0x7E] **OR** [0xA1 to
0xFE], inclusive.  This gives a total range for the 2nd byte of 157
combinations.

All together, the first and second byte can code 89*157 or 13,973
combinations.

The following types of characters fall in the specified ranges:

        0xA140 - 0xA3FE     symbols (471 characters)
        0xA440 - 0xC5FE     "level 1" hanzi (5338 characters)
        0xC640 - 0xF9FE     "level 2" hanzi (8164 characters)

This is significantly better than the mainland Chinese GuoBiao standard,
which allows 8836 combinations.

I'm interested in finding font files for this format.  If you know of
any, please leave me a message.

Actually, I heard somebody from FAPA saying that Clinton seems to be a

I got the impression that Clinton is more anti-PROC than pro-Taiwan.

I am not sure what the constitution of California is saying about the
possibility of being independent from the United States, but I am sure that
in Texas, the Texas constitution allows Texas to be independent from the 
the United States if the majority of the Texans favor so.

While the situation of the provinces of the ROC is totally different from
the case of the states of the United States that Taiwan is only a province of
the ROC. And this province has no such individual constitution to state such
agenda of the conditions to be indenpendent from the ROC.
Unless the people in Taiwan do take enough power to defy the decree of the
central government by whatever means that could be, it is totally irrational
to advocate independence indiscreetly without polling the public.
 
Maybe the situation will change someday that the central government of ROC
do agree that the Taiwan province can be independent (by reason such as constant
threatening from the communist China). So, heck, let me (ROC)
go with you (Taiwan).
