T...There is no respect for rule of law these days. This parallels Taipei City vs Ministry of Health. Taipei City owes the central govt a large amount of money (I believe $150 million US) in health insurance fees, this was upheld by the courts, and Taipei City land was ordered to be sold to pay for it. But the current Prime Minister, Liu Chaoshuan says, no, you don't have to pay it back, and there are no consequences.<BR/><BR/>It's unbelievable. The land has not undergone a second environmental review and it is goddamn ILLEGAL to proceed with destruction.<BR/><BR/>Another similar case happened in Miaoli where they destroyed porcelain furnaces (those really old brick smokestacks you sometimes see) that are a significant part of Taiwan's cultural heritage. We are in great danger of losing the techniques we still have knowledge of to history. It's crazy; it too was undergoing environmental review when the Miaoli county govt decided to move in in ambush surprise like fashion and knocked down the towers.<BR/><BR/>Yeah, because Taiwan doesn't have enough Science Parks and the tech industry in Taiwan is booming.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-27144134912717723892009-02-28T17:14:00.000+08:002009-02-28T17:14:00.000+08:00i like green. place to get sheap drugs, to see hom...i like green. place to get sheap drugs, to see homeless, to enjoy a quicky(fast fuck), and good ol' picknick.. that idiot of constructors have no respect for old trees and nature. they sucks ever when you kick their kids because their father cuted down whole green in yo quater.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-24984855573851379652009-02-28T16:57:00.000+08:002009-02-28T16:57:00.000+08:00The environment means nothing in Taiwan.

They talk the talk of sustainable development and the reality is pollution and pandering to whoever wants to build on land.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
