Pandas for Taiwan

I didn't plan to blog on this amazing idea, and The Foreigner in Formosa has saved me the trouble, and written on it much better than I ever could. Don't miss......

Pandas for Taiwan: Much Ado About Nothing?

Outsiders may view with incredulity the current controversy in Taiwan about whether to accept two panda bears from China. No missiles are being fired, no IEDs are exploding, and no suicide bombers are going kabloey. So what's the big deal?

Imagine if you will then, if Kim Jong-il of North Korea made an announcement. He's just met with Howard Dean, and the two of them have come to an agreement that a couple of extremely rare Korean snow wallabies* will be sent to the National Zoo in Washington, D.C.......

And of course, don't miss his first post either.

  3. Taiwan should give China one of those pigs that glows in the dark. hidden under the skin is a tattoo that says "Mao is dead - give it up" that is only visible when the lights are out.

  4. Surely it would make political sense to accept China's goodwill gift of the pandas, and then house them
    on the island of Kinmen. This would greatly benefit the tourist economy of Kinmen from both China and
    Taiwan and ...because of historical politics post WWII...would not impinge upon Taiwan's sovereignty.
    Or is this just too logical! Maybe it is unacceptable because it does not provide ammunition for futher vitriolic bickering. Got to have the last word you know!
