		<description><![CDATA[Edge Boston May 18, 2012 LOS ANGELES, CA &#8211; Taiwan’s best kept secret from worldwide travelers is its unique small outer islands surrounding the mainland. Lonely Planet described them as &#8220;opportunities for those intrepid enough to make the trip.&#8221; The four islands, Green, Guishan, Lanyu and Penghu, because of limited transportation, have remained exclusively private, well-preserved and almost unknown to the international travel spotlight for years. But with the recent discovery by foreign adventurers seeking for bold and fearless type of fun for their leisure, these islands are quickly becoming the best hidden gems of Asia.    [FULL  STORY]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Silver City Sun-News 05/17/2012 By PETER ENAV Associated Press TAIPEI, Taiwan—Taiwan President Ma Ying-jeou has leveraged growing economic ties with China to reduce tensions to their lowest level since the two sides split in 1949. China&#8217;s incessant effort to draw the democratic island closer politically has been on the back burner, and as Ma&#8217;s second term begins Sunday the question is whether he can keep it there. China continues to insist that Ma&#8217;s self-governing island of 23 million people is part of its territory, to be brought back into the fold by persuasion if possible, by force if necessary. But Taiwan, backed by a United States that is re-engaging in Asia after a decade-long preoccupation in the Middle East, has no desire to give up its de facto independence.     [FULL  STORY]]]></description>
