So the shirts are saying, China is screwing Taiwan?

One China, the idea that Taiwan and Tibet (and some other geographical oddities) has been a central part of communist national spirit for decades, what you're seeing in this thread is a demonstration of how a nationalised education designed to drive an agenda embeds an opinion in national psyche. It's all about national spirit, geopolitics and economics be damned. Thankfully economic intergration means too many people have too much to lose but it's going to be used as a pole to beat certain governmental figures around the head with and everyone will get a little uppity while they sort out who's boss.

Not sure if it got much coverage but Taiwan did some sabre rattling of it's own today, airforce wargames in the event of invasion. Looks like it's penis measuring season in the south china sea.

Well if you want to put it that way... Taiwan wins

alamuhan · 07-21-2004, 09:59 PM

The biggest dick contest. He was joking, Al.

Yeah, but Taiwan was asking for it, going around dressed like that.

Ha ... I have a 'Say No to China' t-shirt that I got from a rally in Times Square back when Hong Kong was being returned to ROC. It used to not get so much attention ... maybe now that I am older I am more aware of what's going on around me ... but now it always seems to draw a few looks when I'm strolling through the city wearing it.
