Any of these pictures could have been taken in Houston during the floods and you could not tell the difference.
Can I have the phone number of the one on the left? |

Water tornado in Kunshan
A rarely-seen water tornado rises as high as 1,000 meters over the Yangcheng Lake, Kunshan city in Jiangsu Province July 15, 2004. The water column lasted about 20 minutes Thursday afternoon. Experts said strong convective air causes an ascending movement, hurling lake water up into the sky.

How is someone 'rich' in a communist country? I thought everyone was the same.
Anyway, I want to ask the Chinese guys: If Taiwan declares independence, do you think there will be war? This matter is of great interest to me. |

1. All the countries have the rich and the poor,if everone is the same,then how the country go on developing.
2. Taiwan IS A PATR OF CHINA!! Anyone attempt to disrupt China MUST will be blessed!! And Chinese goverment NEVER GIVE UP solving the problem by FORCE!! If Taiwan declares independence i think Chinese military circles won't turn a blind eye to it!! A just war may not be avoided. 3. Be part of the government may make someone rich,but most people become rich by hard-working. Underground economy ~I don't know much about it. 4. I am typing while looking up the words in the dictionary. So thanks to HTTP://WWW.ICIBA.NET (a online dictionary) And thank you for your patient to my reply~ Last edited by No_TimE; 07-18-2004 at 08:39 AM. |

Taiwan deserves its independence, particularly as a country that for 50-60 years has worked diligently at progressing its own politics and economy. In the golden ages, one would not be surprised at the prospect of a war, but this is 2004 and that is just ridiculous. Taiwan and most of eastern China are far, far beyond third-world status. What the hell does China want with an island the size of New Jersey, anyway? To feed off its export economy, which is far superior (in proportion) to China's GDP (which actually isn't so bad, just diluted by a large population). U.S. has pledged its support for Taiwan in the event of an assault - Naval fleet will move out of Japan and other South Pacific bases can mobilize quickly. That would be a spectacular clash of nations. President Chen has my full support and that of my entire family as well. I hope China will come to its senses one day and rid of this ridiculous "special autonomous region" bullshit. |

Clarify please.
You support a war to bring TW back to full Chinese control? You know infinitely more about the whole subject than I do. Could you explain your position? This issue is of great interest to me too. |

I wonder what Bush will do if a military conflict does flare up between China and Taiwan. I guess the US is already fully committed elsewhere?

Only in terms of ground troops. We have plenty ships and missiles and other equipment. But then again, I dont know. I'm certain someone will have more to add. |
