China's a dangerous country

I would like to express my full support for your newspaper, which reflects my own personal views and opinions and I believe those of many reasonable human beings. Here in China it is very difficult to express your own opinion. You cannot even say "in Hong Kong" as a foreigner because some people might believe you want to express that Hong Kong is not part of China. It is crazy. So a foreigner should say "in Hong Kong, China."

I am afraid of this country and I have read all the editorials on your Web site and I fully agree with them. The current problem between Japan and Taiwan is mentioned in all the Chinese newspapers. They try to convince Chinese citizens that Taiwanese also hate the Japanese and that the Chinese and the Taiwanese are one people with one common enemy: The Evil Japanese.

Taiwan's government obviously does not recognize that the current dispute is a perfect opportunity for China's propaganda. Japan and the US are Taiwan's allies and should be treated as such. This opinion has only been expressed in some of your newspapers' editorials.

I love Taiwan and I support the pro-independence movement to the fullest. In fact, I am planning to move to Taiwan and I will inform people there of how brainwashed people here are and how many, especially young people, express their willingness to sacrifice their lives for the "reunification of their motherland."

China is a very dangerous country, and people must be aware of this. I come from Germany and I know this country's history very well. There is a very strong parallel between Austria and Taiwan. Only after World War II did people come to realize that, in spite of the cultural similarities, Austria and Germany are two nations. Before 1938, everyone in Germany believed Austrians were also Germans.

Must it also take a bloody war in East Asia for people to understand that Taiwan and China are two separate nations?
