Taiwan was not Taiwan, Taiwan was a staging ground for CKS and his KMT to take back the mainland, and that the "legitimate" Governement of China, was actually residing on Taiwan at the time. <BR/><BR/>That's why it's so irritating to see article after article mention how Taiwan and China split among a civil war. No, it was actually China and the KMT that "split," whereby the KMT came to Taiwan to setup their launching pad for an eventual invasion of the mainland that never happened.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13864496921909619980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-57623477416369134502008-08-22T07:08:00.000+08:002008-08-22T07:08:00.000+08:00Taipei is a city on an island by the name of Taiwa...Taipei is a city on an island by the name of Taiwan as everyone in the world probably knows by now.<BR/><BR/>Politicians seem to like to confuse basic facts.<BR/><BR/>I can assure you that even the boys on the mainland do not call Taiwan by that ridiculous political acronym they foist upon anyone willing to accept it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-18071176264509948182008-08-21T22:01:00.000+08:002008-08-21T22:01:00.000+08:00There was a very interesting podcast from public r...There was a very interesting podcast from public radion about the olympics.

They could have easily shortened it to the Taipei team. So, you have the Zhonghua team playing the Zhongguo team.Elihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03648566751513055517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-46914732014995335292008-08-21T08:45:00.000+08:002008-08-21T08:45:00.000+08:00Actually the name game resonates all the way up th...Actually the name game resonates all the way up through the highest offices of government. <BR/>In Gary D. Rawnsley's book: Taiwan's Informal Diplomacy and Propaganda, the author documents how the term "mainland" was intentionally deployed in government materials (GIO) to create a sense of a greater China that was not present before.
