`One China' means slavery

[dArKeR]

By Daniel McCarthy

The opinion piece by Zhang Jia-lin (???) ("What does `one China' truly mean?" July 12, page 8) contained the same old arrogant and condescend-ing tone that has been coming out of Beijing for decades.

Zhang's writing also contains logical contradictions, such as the idea that Taiwan is not a province of the China and there are in fact "two Chinas," but Taiwan is part of China.

Only the twisted logic of a fundamental religious zealot could reach such a conclusion, but then again, "one China" appears to be a religious belief with many followers eager to prove their zealotry...

After all I've been throungh. After all the stories I've read. After all the personal experiences in TW and CN. After all of the feelings... then someone says a simple sentences which I've never thought of but in fact says everything I've thought, read and written in 10 years. Something that says exactly the fate of every Taiwan and Hong Kong citizen.
