I would like to write something about Taiwan's election, but there are so many interesting issues about this election, and I still cannot focus on one topic. The list of the topics I have been thinking of includes:
1. The Shooting Incident of Chen Shui-bian on 3/19
(Is it true or staged? Did this really change the result?)
2. Taiwan's Democracy and Nationalism
(Is this system really democratic? How far the Taiwanese nationalism goes?)
3. China's Reaction
(Are the Taiwanese too used to China's threat?)
4. The Result of the Referendum
(It did not reach 50%, but 87% of the people who voted said "Yes." That means... what?)
5. The KMT's future
(What are they going to do?)
6. Taiwan's Defense Policy
(The referendum result turned invalid, but can they still modernize the military?)
I will try to talk about some of the issues above later.
