This is my posted blog that was supposed to be done by Thursday 9 am. I'm in the webnotes for politics group and I am really interested in the Taiwanese independence issue. Here is the address to an article I found about the US.'s stance on Taiwanese independence. Bush took a stance against it in 2003. Trade with the Chinese could have something to do with that. Anyways, here is the site http://www.cnn.com/2003/ALLPOLITICS/12/09/bush.china.ap/. I'll figure out the link thing soon.

Posted by ted at September 27, 2004 12:31 AMIt might be weird that I'm commenting on my own blog but this issue really grabs my attention. I had a Taiwanese friend in high school who made a concerted effort to make sure people never mistook him for a Chinese student. There were other Asian students at my school who were Chinese and Korean and so on, but my friend always made it clear that he was Taiwanese. I would joke around with his at times and say "I know you're Chinese at heart." He would laugh, but of course he and I knew that the issue was very serious. I think its a shame that Taiwan has to be bullied by it mother country China.
