It is more accurate to say that he is "Anti-Taiwan".

Teachers often develop a habit of assigning a whole set of questions out of these books, without scrutinizing each single question. So this one slipped by somehow. <BR/><BR/>At any rate, it really is a farce when you consider the fact that the correct answer, as stated by the publisher, is D. <BR/><BR/>The publisher is implying that resigning is the responsible (責任) thing to do.

This has nothing to do about whether "civics" lessons should be discussed in class. The question is not only loaded or politically misleading -- it is a question that could be asked about any political system.<BR/><BR/>For instance, I could ask this equally frivolous question:<BR/><BR/><I><B>The people of China have been (asking -- <I>strike that</I>) carefully thinking that Hu Jin-tao (to -- <I>strike that</I>) should resign due to his frequent abuses on human rights towards his people.<BR/><BR/>If Hu Jin-tao resigned voluntarily, which features of Communist rule will this demonstrate? </I></B><BR/><BR/>You see, the act of "resigning" isn't limited to "democracy" for goodness sakes! In fact, the act of resigning is universal to any political system. In other words, there is nothing "special" at all about THE ACT of resigning one's post in a democracy.<BR/><BR/>It is simply outrageous that such a question is being used in any credible academic institution.<BR/>.<BR/>.<BR/>.skiingkowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05381159852660053893noreply@blogger.com
