One of my favorite profs at the U was a noted sinologist. Because of her I remain fascinated with developments in Red China and Taipei. By the way if you want to keep abreast of trends in China check out the Jamestown Foundation's China Brief. The latest issue covers Beijing's Human Rights Exhibit (it would be hilarious if it weren't so sad); the frightening maturation of the PLAN (Peoples Liberation Army Navy) and the wooing of ASEAN nations by the Reds. A recent issue of TNI (The National Interest) touched on the Red's growing influence at Turtle Bay.
Over in Taipei the heat is growing on Chen and observers are freaking that he may do something desperate - like a referendum on independence. I'm surprised that KMT would be so high on dumping him. Seriously would Annette Lu really make things better for them. Ms. Lu is a rhetorical bombthrower who is bound to rile the Reds.
