China will continue towards democracy and a free market economy. It will not happen as fast as the US would like but the Chinese look at the problems in the former Soviet Union and want to learn from what has and is happening there. I think they will always have some form of socialism. Taiwan isn't going to push for complete autonomy, they've too much to loose, the economics of business with China will keep Taiwan from doing more than occasionally rattling their sword. They will eventually reunite and be governed much like Hong Kong. One country several systems (Hong Kong, Taiwan, Tibet). It really goes back to the Sino-centric model that was in place for centuries before the western world got involved eventually leading to the Opium Wars etc..

It seems as if the students did get the message though. Their new Premier seems to be more reform minded and China is definitely engaging economically. They seem to be on a path to naturally turn to democracy. Although Taiwan could throw a wrench in those gears. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:153614 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
