AOD #2

I watched a youtube video this week. The video is about a Chinese representive is giving a speech. The speech is about, “We, the China government doesn’t agree letting Taiwan join W.H.O. because Taiwan is not a country. Taiwan is part of China…….. so on.”

From his speech, it sounds like Taiwan is still under control by China’s government and gets benefit from China. But from what I know, Taiwan has its own government, and Taiwan does not really get helps from China (government). China had public dialogue speeches showed how much they care about Taiwan as their own people, but attacked Taiwan 60 years ago, tried to use force to take over Taiwan. China fired Taiwan for 3 days 3 nights and gave up because it took too long to take down Taiwan. And Taiwan had already developed a strong government of its own, and I as a Taiwanese believe that there is no way for me to obey the Chinese government because of different point of views. SO even though China take over Taiwan, most of the Taiwanese won’t interact with China well.

2nd Quarter- AOD #1

Issue: China thinks Taiwan belong to them, and does not admit Taiwan as a country

There are two main parties in Taiwan’s government. One is called Nationalist Party (Blue) and another is called Democratic Progressive Party (Green). The blue party was the first party and was most likely obey China. The green party is formed later by the citizens of Taiwan. Now the biggest problem we have is that China is not letting Taiwan join United Nation.

China said that Taiwan is not a country, its part of China. And to be able to join U.N., you have to be a country. The Green party started an act called “U.N. for Taiwan,” and going to have a vote for the independence of Taiwan. The Blue party does not agree with it. They do want Taiwan to join U.N., but of we have the acts like that, will mess up the relationship with China, which mean a fight or war might start. So I believe that a lot of negotiations are needed here.
