I am not help but smile, friends, is too much, it probably results in Xiamen, pollution control, or less foggy weather. True to return so quickly, we are waiting for a unified bar. <> <> to Xiamen, shortly after leaving yesterday, I again set off to Taiwan. Gulangyu think you can see the other side stood the scene, this trip made me feel tired and resentment. from the mainland to Taiwan can only via Hong Kong and Macau, as bought a morning flight took off from Hong Kong yesterday, has moved from the mainland to the left because of Shenzhen, Shenzhen .<><> went twenty-three hours to get to the airport, so the next morning Get up to Huanggang, Oh, queuing for exit formalities, go through customs! spaced in a procedures - to enter the Hong Kong Special Region, and that procedures and access to exactly the same in another country: quarantine, border control and customs. to run the procedures, days dawn, but the brain has not yet awake, climbed the bus fell down they sleep. Then, after a hours, the bus to the Hong Kong International Airport. was hurried off the bus (people have to go back to soliciting), Tizhexingli, queuing to check in .<><> good, but check the former, but also leave once: border controls, passports stamped, security and customs, this was only then I toss thoroughly awake, and the results of how a half-hour flight can not sleep, to hear clearly the voice of the plane took off , buzzing over an hour, sit and stare at the foot of the white clouds and blue sky overhead, and then began to sink, ears began to not meet, the last wheels on the track to draw the cacophony ... ... <> < > one o'clock, the plane landed at the Taichung International Airport, Oh, and also the arrival of this - of course, and for procedures in another country into the same complex, but fortunately not many people queuing. in the queue when the flag of and Ocean Pacific, the world's largest time to reach the American continent, 12 hours to fly to Australia from China as long as 8 hours. However, across the strait from mainland China to fly to the island of Taiwan even tossing me a full 24 hours, in the hotel combat readiness for a night, plus two for wider than the Taiwan Strait, the gap separating the two sides deeper <> <> If this true in the Taiwan Strait under the arrangement gradually reduced the magic of nature, we are willing in the highest power in a hope to wait, then Or, if we trouble, as long as their own land, The , for the first time the novelty has long gone, walking in the streets of Taiwan, I feel warm, but also obviously feel a strange alien. It is no wonder, over the past fifty years, the mainland and Taiwan in terms of political system, cultural, educational and economic systems are poles apart in recent years, although some at the intersection of, but both governments and give birth to a lot of new confrontation, at daggers drawn, its direct result is the gap between the public on both sides Needless to anti-up .<><> ; If I come to Taiwan's experience is too personal, you can not resonate, then let me talk about the Internet. all know the Internet is shrinking the world, make life of people in all corners of the world more close to each other the best platform. can be I just feel that the Internet public on both sides of the divide. The most obvious example is the people from the mainland on the Taiwan site is almost completely unable to, let alone a forum on Taiwan. Taiwan's various sites, including current affairs and cross-strait relations, reunification and independence Forum are very busy, but because the mainland close up, where users essentially can not hear the voice of a continent, not to mention you in to me and I talk to each other and persuade each other, argue and quarrel. <> < > Long-term results of Taiwan's Internet users so they can not hear the voice of the mainland users, so of talking to each other's strangeness is also heavier. Two years ago I was overseas, there is a whim, one night into a number of Taiwan's website forum, but to say that I speak a few words, Taiwan's netizens immediately that I was the mainland. very interesting to know that I am using traditional characters, but also to make use of the tone of the people of Taiwan. visible diaphragm has reached the kind of word play can feel a strange line of the point .<><> Ordinarily, not on the mainland to Taiwan site, without any limitation users should be free of Taiwan to the mainland sites in particular is a forum Come on. But to my own observations and understanding of Taiwan's Internet users and even fewer users than the mainland into the mainland site. Whether from my own blog on the mainland or from the public forum of view, to the mainland on the Taiwan website users is very small. For example, I opened Ye Hao Netease blog a few months, click on a lot, and many articles related to the Taiwan issue, but so far only visited a Taiwanese friend (because NetEase has IP record). is because very few sites on the other side, the results gap growing, even here, also because one or two Huabutouji to fight .<><> the Internet to eliminate the sense of distance like this, we can see In the real world is even more incredible was. even really as we sigh as the world is flat, but if there is such a bottomless ground of the > The reason for this result is of course manifold, but the two governments to blame, bear the main responsibility for .<><> Taiwan, gave up a deadly weapon against the mainland <> <> ; in 1949 Chiang Kai-shek retreated to Taiwan, the Chinese civil war from the hot war into Cold War, no doubt, the outcome had been, winner takes all. However, after the victory of Mao Zedong x Youyi another way almost from the Rereading the mistakes of the dance: three decades, the Chinese economy into collapse. and so the same time, Taiwan has become a lively dragons, till then, if people would have to determine who wins, I think, not much one would object: Continental also lost a .<><> catch up in the mainland's reform and opening up two decades, Taiwan has to follow the world trend of political democratization in the cross step on the road even for Asian and stunned the world. I have been more concerned about Taiwan's democratic process, as early as ten years ago had come to Taiwan, as is the atmosphere in the square and feel the election of sitting on the roadside some quiet reflection. then each to Taiwan, I was surprised to find that the concept of democracy has gradually spread from the popular election to every corner of society, and democracy into the lives of the people of Taiwan. In this way, Taiwan has gradually set up and core values. <> < ;> As everyone knows, this is more than the United States to sell Taiwan the most advanced aircraft and artillery of deadly weapons, much stronger. This Millennium deadly weapon: the improvement of people's livelihood and democratic progress, which should be a giant hand-held torch, standing in the East China, the mainland guidelines for the loss of a road .<><> However, the instant , eclipsed torch, torch down seems to have lost a giant target. in politicians you come to me, I was surprised to find that fight should have been the ultimate goal of Taiwan's liberal democratic theory, but in the hands of some politicians for power to be reduced to certain goals. goals and means of turned, core values into chaos. it really surprising and sad .<><> said Taiwan's economic development if a little slow and the international environment-related, then do not enter the democratic process Anti-back battles between the political parties can not get away. In such battles, Taiwan's core values are being hijacked, and sometimes I even feel this could have been used to deal with mainland China, became lethal weapons like the terrorists who bundle of explosives, but this time tied to Taiwan's independence and democracy, the core values of freedom ... ... <> <> In my meeting with a number of U.S. think-tank experts and government communication, they made it clear that , even to promote democracy should not be discounted, it should be based on the specific situation in Taiwan, the appropriate game, not blindly act recklessly. Recently in Taiwan, even prestigious, the Chu Lai Chen Shui-bian repeatedly scolded, he also realized that democracy in Taiwan and some extreme behavior (eg, ***) bundled together, might not only destroyed the democratic system, is likely to be the island itself. < > <> Taiwan against mainland China if mutated, to protect their most powerful umbrella and weapons - fast economic development and integration into the global trend of democracy, then is the real crisis. <> < > mainland, in order to the. So Xiaoping adopted a very pragmatic Taiwan policy, however, was the change in Taiwan's domestic political ecology, coupled with the mainland's sustained economic development and to allow the mainland to know the truth from the leaders of the common people are carried away to forget his own weight , Xiaoping said that falls on their shoulders .<><> in its policy toward Taiwan, the mainland biggest mistake is to change the status quo, the including Taiwan and the world situation changes and changes in the pattern; this own people at home, especially a negative weapon .<><> the Taiwan issue in the study of international scholars, especially the U.S. government think-tank have been trying to figure out a causal relationship: the mainland's military threat and the tendency of Taiwan's independence. One maintains that the mainland's military threat to Taiwan caused by increasing demands for independence requirements; other faction believes that without the mainland's military threat toward Taiwan independence .<><> will be faster because the mainland's rapid economic development national advancement to master more and more chips to solve the Taiwan issue, but do not give up on solving the Taiwan issue, although the first of the chips, but it is more difficult to work can not use the chips. this point, the mainland intellectual leaders know, the U.S. government also know, unfortunately, the Chen Shui-bian of Taiwan Lee Teng-hui to know .<><> this from happening to the mainland was originally created as a bargaining chip in his hand, but now it become a bargaining chip in the other playing with the mainland. can be said that Lee Teng-hui Chen Shui-bian, both of whom elected to a large extent thanks to the good at playing the mainland in the hands of the chip - the military threat to Taiwan. I have two elections all are working on the issue of Taiwan, Chen Shui-bian of Taiwan election, I went to visit. I was very anxious - anxious for the Beijing policy makers. even if they are high position, lack of empathy, it should send a few people over look at the people of Taiwan face the people of Taiwan do not also Chinese? they will not yield to force.

In the international suppress Taiwan's international space is in line with the principle of one China, has also been supported by major Western powers, but at the same time, whether it is possible exchanges with Taiwan to adopt a more flexible and liberal policies?

He was surprised that certainly do not hate, no. The driver is a fifty-year-old Taiwanese, black small, and the other driver said I did not understand the words. I said, you see, the two sides quarrel all day long , playing bickering, he interrupted me, that is their government, not our do you want, are they bored far shore, yelling, and went to the Americans go, not our thing, do not ignore them. <> <> he said, also kindly smiled, looking back to see me.

In contrast, in mainland China in order to understand Taiwan, newspapers and television 'd show a lot, but unfortunately all with one voice, the same opinion. for example, there are several shows on the mainland people to understand Taiwan's main window, including China Central Television's ;> because they are done in Taiwan, and fully permitted. but people forget that manufacturing programs, these people do if a similar program in Taiwan, there will be the opposite of experts and scholars and their Health Warning, or another group of people in Another radio station to support the contrary view, so people will not only hear one voice, avoid making one-sided and biased judgments .<><> in mainland China but not a possibility, almost all of our discussions of Taiwan current affairs programs, have become all-attacks and sarcasm, can not hear another voice entirely.
