Planning for the future - TW, China by Ross Terrill

[dArKeR]

Ross Terrill is an associate researcher at The Fairbank Center for East Asian Research, Harvard University, and a long-time China expert. He has spent more than 40 years studying communist Chinese society and was one of the very few Western journalists allowed to enter China before the Cultural Revolution. Author of the book ``The New Chinese Empire,'' Terrill spoke to `Taipei Times' staff reporter Chang Yun-ping in a recent interview, in which he said there was a new willingness in the US to accept the idea of an independent Taiwan and that US-Taiwan relations, which soured during the presidential election, would soon be repaired. He also suggested that Taiwan include a section in its planned constitution that would leave open the possibility for Taiwan to form a nation with another Chinese nation, such as China

Taipei Times: In your previous talks to the local media, you've mentioned that President Chen Shui-bian (???) should slow down the schedule for formulating a new constitution. But Chen has stressed he will go ahead with his own schedule despite China's opposition. What you do think of this?

The problem now-a-days under Bush Reich, you can't trust a media source. You've got too many fascists conservative power elite corporations controlling the news sources. I'd need to investigate Fairbank Center for East Asian Research before I could even believe a word this guy says. (Christian Coalition, Heritage Foundation, Hoover Institute, AEI...)
