China and Taiwan Leaders Exchange Letters for the First Time in 60 Years http://blogs.usatoday.com/.a/6a00d83...4d45970c-200wi BEIJING, July 27 -- Hu Jintao, top leader of the Communist Party of China (CPC), sent a congratulatory message on Monday to Taiwan's Ma Ying-jeou, who was elected chairman of the Kuomintang (KMT) Sunday, sources from the CPC Central Committee said. Hu, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, said in the message that he hoped the two political parties could continue to push forward the peaceful development of cross-Strait relations, deepen mutual political trust, keep working for the interests of compatriots across the Strait, and rejuvenate the Chinese nation. In his reply to Hu's message, Ma expressed his gratitude to Hu's congratulation, saying that cross-Strait relations had embarked on a road of peaceful development and mutual prosperity through joint efforts based on the 1992 consensus. The two parties needed to keep on working together under the principles of facing reality, building mutual trust, laying aside disputes and creating a win-win situation, Ma said in the reply. The two parties should also make efforts to consolidate peace across the Taiwan Strait, restore regional stability, and push forward cross-Strait development and prosperity, Ma said. Ma Ying-jeou was elected KMT chairman Sunday in a landslide victory, taking 93.87 percent of party votes. Ma won Taiwan's leadership election in March last year and was inaugurated in May 2008. He had previously served as chairman of the KMT from July 2005 to February 2007. |
this is the start of a beautiful friendship! |
i thought KMT wanted to take over China, ha. I like how they became all buddie buddie with china suddenly after the pan-green was in power from 2000-2008. I won't STFU until China disarms all ICBM's currently threatening the island. |
I bet they sent each other love letters... |

That's gonna help the economy. Taiwan separatists should shove their egos up their ass. |
What's a letter? I only know how to message on Facebook. |

I don't even know why I bother replying to these threads. Most of the time people are just joining 'fuck tw' bandwagon without even knowing half of the facts nor have they at least attempting to see it through the two different POVs. Quote:

Hello fellow chinamen!11 |
culturally, and nationally Taiwanese, but blood and genetics, chinese. i find taiwanese nationalists often get ethnicity and nationality mixed up, and so do most people that debate in this topic. btw, i'm taiwanese, but i acknowledge that i'm of chinese decent, and blood. PEOPLE Taiwan has a population of 23 million. More than 18 million, the "native" Taiwanese, are descendants of Chinese who migrated from Fujian and Guangdong Provinces on the mainland, primarily in the 18th and 19th centuries. The "mainlanders," who arrived in Taiwan after 1945, came from all parts of mainland China. About half a million indigenous peoples inhabit the mountainous central and eastern parts of the island and are believed to be of Malayo-Polynesian origin. Of Taiwan's total population, approximately one million, or 4.4%, currently reside in mainland China. HISTORY Taiwan's indigenous peoples, who originated in Austronesia and southern Asia, have lived on Taiwan for 12,000 to 15,000 years. Significant migration to Taiwan from the Chinese mainland began as early as A.D. 500. http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/bgn/35855.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiwanese_Aborigines I'm canadian, but i'm not white. get it? |

Some just prefer being recognized by their nationality. When Korea was detracted from China, were you still calling them Chinese? No. Yet many of them have the same blood and genes as those in Northern China. |
taiwan and china is 1 country |
^ In 300 years when it slowly merges together as one plot of land. ;) |
