		<description><![CDATA[The Council On Foreign Relations Asia Unbound January 25, 2012 by Elizabeth C. Economy Kong Qingdong has gone viral. The Peking University professor of literature and descendant of Confucius has become an overnight celebrity with his televised rant against Hong Kong. In an interview on CCTV, Kong rails against non-Mandarin speaking Hong Kongers, denounces their rule of law system, and calls them “running dogs,” a Maoist-era epithet that typified the class warfare of the 1950s and 60s. What induced this attack was a momentary interchange on a Hong Kong subway between a Hong Kong resident and a mainland woman, in which the Hong Konger told the woman that her child should not be eating on the subway.    [FULL  STORY]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[AFP January 19, 2012 TAIPEI — Taiwan officials said Thursday they have dropped a plan to erect a statue of the Goddess of Democracy, a defining image of the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests, on an islet in sight of China. The Kinmen county government said the plan was put on hold as it could not find a &#8220;suitable location&#8221; for the 30-metre (99-foot) high statue by Chinese activist artist Chen Weiming. &#8220;We are still evaluating the project and there is no proper location for it. There is no political pressure involved,&#8221; said an official at the county government.    [FULL  STORY]]]></description>

Get ready for a global reality characterized by the survival of the strongest,” he wrote.    [FULL  STORY]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Taiwan News 2011-11-30 TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – China said Wednesday opposition Democratic Progressive Party Chairwoman Tsai Ing-wen should accept the so-called “1992 Consensus” before she would be allowed to visit the country. The “1992 Consensus” meant that Taiwan and China both accept that there is only one China, with each side having its different interpretation of that concept. The agreement was reached during cross-straits talks in Hong Kong in 1992. The DPP has strongly rejected the notion of a consensus, and says the formula is a fiction because Taiwan and China never agreed to it in the first place.    [FULL  STORY]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Asia Times Jul 21, 2011 By Jens Kastner TAIPEI &#8211; For more than half a decade, China has been munching southern Taiwan&#8217;s bananas and other fruit largely for political consideration &#8211; to win the hearts and souls of Taiwanese farmers who are traditionally more supportive of the pro-independence Democratic Progressive Party (DPP). But the procurement of fruit, once seen as a particularly crafty item in Beijing&#8217;s strategy toolbox, failed to advance the prospects of cross-strait unification. For Taiwanese lawmakers who are on their way to committee meetings and ballot castings, it&#8217;s a familiar sight: every other week, in the courtyard of the legislature&#8217;s hong lou, or red mansion, there&#8217;s a stage set up, decorated with mangoes, papayas, pomelos and the like.    [FULL  STORY]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[CNN News June 10, 2011 By Thair Shaikh, CNN (CNN) &#8212; China is now synonymous with the term &#8220;emerging&#8221; superpower &#8212; almost every reference to the country makes some mention of its future global prowess, both economic and military. But while few question China&#8217;s rise and its existing might, when will we be able to drop the &#8220;emerging&#8221; tag and simply refer to the country as a superpower &#8212; much like the U.S. is perceived today? Already a significant regional power in Asia &#8212; only India and Japan offer any kind of credible competition &#8212; China is already increasing its global influence with its economic policies in Africa, Latin America and Europe, according to analysts. But many experts believe that for a country to become a true global power, it needs both unrivalled economic and military dominance. Lawrence Saez, senior lecturer at the School of Oriental and African Studies, in London, says: &#8220;When China decides to take over Taiwan, that is when it will be a superpower. Unquestionably that will be the day.&#8221;    [FULL  STORY]]]></description>
