Why would Taiwan, an independent country, want to unify with a dictatorship which has almost no human rights and no freedom of speech?
Taiwan should unify with Australia, or the USA. If I was a Taiwanese I would kill myself before joining a bunch of communist cockroaches who are brainwashed into believing China is great.

Taiwan is only the 39th most corrupt country.
China has no press freedom eg. websites continually blocked and tv continually monitored.
China people spit,
and never line up,
and never say please and thank you,
and always talk very very loudly,
and put MSG in food,
and men take off their top clothes when its hot, and they smoke everywhere including restaraunts, and they talk behind your back all the time,
and the men are like children because they get jealous when you talk to their girlfriend,
and they almost never play team sports,
and they listen to TERRIBLE chinese pop music, and they are so narrowminded they know nothing about other cultures,
and they eat noisily with mouths open,
and if there is an accident they just stand around and take photos
and they always buy and sell fake goods because they are selfish and only think about themselves.
And air pollution, noise pollution, water pollution etc...
Ever heard of Taiwanese or white people wanting to immigrate to China? hahaha!!!!
There is more, but you could write a whole book on bad things about Chinese, and still only cover 1% of the things.
Taiwanese have far better manners and enjoy far more democracy than China.
Taiwan is the Republic of China. It has its own laws, own passport, own govermment, own military, own visa offices, own money, and they are welcomed overseas by many countries.
When mainland chinese go overseas, everyone tries to avoid them. They have manners of wild pigs, but because face is important to Chinese, they don't like to admit their weaknesses (which are far to many). The sad thing about the Chinese is that most of them can't see how many flaws they have.
Taiwan is heaven compared to China. The Taiwanese say, if God was a Chinaman, they would choose to go to hell. I fully agree. The Chinese are so used to living in hell, that when they do go there, they fit in straight away.

Who is this Huang? Didn't he know its called ZhongShan suit, because it was first worn by Sun Yat-sen, the founder of ROC? Or maybe the name is intentionally twisted to play to the western audience?

Still the hongqi sedan provided a no small symbol of comfort and reassurance to the ever dwindling faithfuls.

I am amazed that you haven't killed yourself.
I am even more amazed that you still live in Chongqing.
Before you can still post on Topix, why don't you do yourself a favor to got away from China?
Go back to where you belong, So you won't have to threat everybody that you want to kill yourself ( you have done it before, remember?), like there is anyone who cares what you do.

Take the cases of Spore and China; perhaps what's sufficient for present purpose is an observation that Spore with its size fits the classic definition of a sewn up burg; the pecking order is not only defined but ACTUALLY honoured in practise. Compared to that China for all its touted centalized command system looks like a motley crews of competing if not bumbling extortioners, with the differences between Beijing central and/among various regional/provincial centres playing out as an altogether different proposition to normal business practises.

Nothing like an historical point of interest to appeal to readers' imagination. But for the easily offended, it's perhaps a relief to learn that that commercialized fads have seized upon the style, however it shall forthwith be known, and one's pretty certain in the inside lapel of some specimen found on the bodies of many a celebrity type of Chinese/pro Chinese persuasion one's liable to come upon the brand 'Shanghai Tang', HK based outfitters to the loaded and effete.

No one is comparing China with Singapore. Singapore style governance is what China seeks to achieve.

But still for all that the differences shall remain; from a family business there for the preened scions to return to inherit, to compete essentially up the chain of a corporate like structure rife with the usual parochialism which could put paid to any personal goal of dynastic succession.

Potentially the White Disaster is more deadly than yellow peril. Please tell me where I can buy a hongqi in HK?
