More on Taiwan

Here’re some more info on Taiwan, which I’ll soon be calling home:

News
BBC: “Taiwan’s President Chen Shui-bian has pledged not to declare independence from China if he is re-elected.
His decision to call a referendum on security issues and whether or not talks should be restarted with Beijing has angered the mainland.

China regards Taiwan as a breakaway province which should be reunited with the rest of the country.”

Taipei Times: “The original James Bond, veteran actor Sean Connery, is rumored to be coming to Taiwan to join the ‘228 Hand-in-Hand Rally’ slated to take place on Feb. 28 as a symbol of determination and unity of the people of Taiwan in protecting Taiwan from China’s missile threats, the organizer of the event said yesterday.”

–Here’s an in-depth look at the upcoming referendum.

Weblogs
“being berta liao” and “a better tomorrow” are two excellent Taiwan Weblogs I’d add to my earlier list.
