I can't see the inclusion of "insists," "breakaway province," "reunification," and "motherland" in that so-called "try[]" as being anything but negative.<br /><br />Looking at the typo again, what's more amazing is that it's a copy-and-paste formulation. How could they get that wrong? Could they have been pwned by a spellchecker or something?<br /><br />@riceagain: It sounds like you're talking about the Carrefours and Auchans in China, right? If so, do those stores treat Hong Kong's products as "imports" as well?<br /><br /><a href="http://taiwanmatters.blogspot.com/" title="Taiwan Matters!" rel="nofollow">Tim Maddog</a>Tim Maddoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16943522529132663780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-16518739447470494352010-05-23T19:55:59.102+08:002010-05-23T19:55:59.102+08:00Tim, I was commending DPA for trying to represent ...Tim, I was commending DPA for trying to represent what Taiwan thinks.

Uh...MIchael, you wrote:<br />- - -<br /><i>Good work, DPA.</i><br>- - -<br /><br />Uh, no. Imagine the "split in 1949" paragraph as a knife followed by the next paragraph as a Band-Aid that's attached with staples -- while the knife is still <i>in</i>.<br /><br />In fact, because of the words "insists," "breakaway province," "<b>re</b>unification," and "motherland," it's more like a <i>very dirty</i> bandage being placed on an already gangrenous wound.<br /><br />You also wrote:<br />- - -<br /><i>UPDATE: Don't miss Don's excellent comment below.</i><br>- - -<br /><br />What? Where? Is Don one of the anonymous commenters?<br /><br />@anonymous 4:40 PM: If you realize that Taiwan is <b>not</b> a province of China, then it would be better to not say "<i>other</i> provinces." For the moment, I'm guessing from the context that you meant "<i>any</i> of China's provinces."<br /><br /><a href="http://taiwanmatters.blogspot.com/" title="Taiwan Matters!" rel="nofollow">Tim Maddog</a>Tim Maddoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16943522529132663780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-35045050483328962762010-05-23T19:00:27.459+08:002010-05-23T19:00:27.459+08:00Both Carrefour ans Auchan (Company that owns RT Ma...Both Carrefour ans Auchan (Company that owns RT Mart) place Taiwanese goods in the "Imported" section in their Chinese supermarkets however where other products have a flag for their country of origin, Taiwanese products have a PRC flag.@riceagainhttp://twitter.com/riceagainnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-66936339275068680982010-05-23T16:40:31.957+08:002010-05-23T16:40:31.957+08:00Well, if they seriously think that Taiwan is a pro...Well, if they seriously think that Taiwan is a province of China, why is there a Customs process involved at all?
