A lot of what I write comes from talking with people here in Taiwan - whether it be in night markets or friends that I've met. With that being said, if I was told something that inaccurate, I wouldn't be surprised.<br /><br />Foreign telecommunications investment is not illegal - only if it's more than 49% of a company, and this issue is being reviewd right now - though a complicated investment. http://www.etaiwannews.com/etn/news_content.php?id=1195122&lang=eng_news&cate_img=logo_taiwan&cate_rss=TAIWAN_eng<br /><br />Thanks for your input, and feel free to comment as often as you would like!<br /><br />--RJRJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04416020818275627023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-774884345166493684.post-34031504883731149932010-04-18T22:25:39.564-04:002010-04-18T22:25:39.564-04:00You've got the DPP backwards, except for the b...You've got the DPP backwards, except for the beef issue. The DPP supported weapons sales, the KMT blocked bills to purchase weapons over 60 times in the legislature during the Chen Administration. The DPP has consistently supported weapons purchases from the US.<br /><br />Chen's polls ratings hovered in the 20s -- the 5.8% was a push poll designed to produce that result. <br /><br />Both the DPP and the KMT want to have trade with China. The DPP's position is that we can engage China without selling the island out; the KMT, not so much. Direct investment in telecommunications is not being permitted at present. <br /><br />MichaelMichael Turtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17974403961870976346noreply@blogger.com
