Although some still believe Chen is an idealist, many Taiwan watchers see him as a pragmatist. Yesterday, during the meeting with Ross Terrill from Harvard, he said two significant things:
1. He called China an "authoritarian empire"
2. He said that he always carries a piece of paper on which he wrote the name of a village in Fujian since it's his roots.
I found pro-green Taipei Times has an article on it, but no reference to the second point. I couldn't find related articles in pro-blue newspapers. You can read the whole story in Herald Tribune.
Posted by sayaka at April 21, 2004 09:11 PM | TrackBackHello Sayaka, Could I ask you a few questions for my History blog for teenagers?
1.How did Taiwan become separate to China?
2. What is the current situation for Taiwan's status as an internationally recognised nation?
3. What aspects of Taiwanese culture are distinct from Chinese culture? i.e. language? etc.
4.How did your interest in Taiwan begin?
Hi Claire, thanks for the message and I would love to answer the questions (although some are pretty controversial) soon.
Posted by: Sayaka at April 29, 2004 12:25 AMBrilliant. :) I've made a start with a Taiwanese friend who's answered similar questions to the ones I've posed you. Perhaps I can ask you more cultural questions like how is Taiwan different to Japan and all the other things Westerners are clueless about. :)

And when they were all together, nothing was clear and distinct because of their smallness; for air and aether comprehended all things, both being infinite; for these are present in everything, and are greatest both as to number and as to greatness. by texas hold'em
