It's all history in the news man.Originally posted by Pitot:By who may i ask? -
1. highlightOriginally posted by frakfrakfrak:The elites know my friend, they just don't care my friend. They don't care and they won't care unless they feel their interests are hurt. Unfortunately, by the time the elites feel the pinch, things are already quite bad because the elites always insulate themselves from the "discomforts" of the societies they create around them. Why do you think the elites build villas for themselves in some other countries or why they fund crazy ideas like colonizing the moon. Its to get away from the troubles of the masses that they feed off from. Its been like this from time immemorial, that's why from time to time there are revolutions and all the elites get massacred. Then the cycle starts all over again. Of course, smart elites know what's best for them and try to build a "just" society even though that's technically impossible, so that these sort of massacres don't occur too often. Of course, sincerity counts alot too these days.

Get your facts right my dear. They are expelled from UN. -
They were not expelled... the UN merely switched it's membership to PRC's.. this is cos of the rule of recognising each splinter state to it's original government.
Since most of the member countries of the UN recognise Taiwan as a sole country, it is only sensible that the UN still recognises Taiwan. Written, but not assumed. -
why not post in speaker's corner

Exactly. United Nations recognized PRC when they "switch" membership as you called it... as though ROC never existed.Originally posted by siaokau:They were not expelled... the UN merely switched it's membership to PRC's.. this is cos of the rule of recognising each splinter state to it's original government.

ROC tried to gain membership into UN, but they never made it past the reviewing committee. Because, UN regards ROC as part of PRC. -
In order to maintain its PR status among other countries, Singapore continued economic and military ties with Taiwan since 1992. Taiwanese CAN enter Singapore.Originally posted by thoreldan:singapore do not recognise taiwan as a country

The UN as a whole made the rule of not acknowledging splinter states but instead their superiors after WWII (when UN was formed) mainly for avoiding the trouble. Another member country means another opinion in international issues. However for each individual country in the UN, another country on the globe means more avenue for economic gains. That's why most countries still have relations with taiwan-whether official or unofficial even though they claim not to recognise Taiwan as a lone country.Originally posted by mhcampboy:Exactly.

ahh WTF. My point from the start is that, the data by the IMF is more reliable than that of the CIA. And even if you argue that the CIA released it's data a year later than that in the wiki page, a $10,000 jump in just a year is ridiculous.

Ok. If it makes you happy. I agree that many countries in the world has links with Taiwan mainly due to economic gains. They have their own currency, military and police might and economic stronghold.Originally posted by siaokau:The UN as a whole made the rule of not acknowledging splinter states but intead their superiors after WWII (when UN was formed) mainly for avoiding the trouble.

But until the One China Policy is unadopted by many large leading economic countries in the world, politically, it will not be seen as a sovereign or independent country.
Under the eight rules of acceptance to be an independent country, Taiwan just do not comply with it. -
There is only one China and Taiwan is part of China.

I thought HongKong got a lot of $$$?

Taiwan does not have a UN membership. Most states do not recognize Taiwan as a sovereign country, including Singapore.Originally posted by siaokau:The UN as a whole made the rule of not acknowledging splinter states but instead their superiors after WWII (when UN was formed) mainly for avoiding the trouble.

The Republic of China lasted from 1912 - 1949 on the mainland. When the defeated KMT forces retreated to Taiwan, Taipei became the UN-recognized capital of China from 1949 - 1971.
The People's Republic does not recognize this and considers the Republic of China extinct in 1949.
After Nixon visited China, both USA and China agreed to work together to face the impending threat from an aggressive USSR. In 1971, the UN seat was switched to PRC and the people of Taiwan lost their UN representation.
Beijing replaced Taipei as the new capital of China.
Like it or not, that is the way international politics works.
