The US, China and Taiwan

The international law is clear, Taiwan is still a part of China. Two different political systems. Following the First Sino-Japanese War in 1895, the Qing ceded the island, along with Penghu, to the Empire of Japan. ... In 1949, after losing control of mainland China in the Chinese Civil War, the ROC government under the KMT withdrew to Taiwan and Chiang Kai-shek declared martial law. This regional problems should be cleared by this "family".

China learned from it´s terror teacher Britain. Never forget, that Britain terrorize for hundred of years all the world! Imagine the US would hire "pirates" like Francis Drake?
What would the US do, if Chinese aircraft carriers etc. would be doing exercises between Miami and Cuba.....
I grew up in the cold war..... and the low flying strike fighters flew under 100 feet..... with maximum power.
In the long run China will do, what it has to do. They also copied their master and commander USA. What do you all expect. With the creation of the World Trade Organization the USA thought to win the Chinese market, but what happen is that the real teacher and wise China with more than 5000 years, will win the war against the around 300 years old baby.
The question is, how to reorganize the US Economy Foreign Affairs, the US Forces and stop hate each other!!!!! The US has to wake up, and stop to divide to country. It doesn't which party you support. they do not pay your salary.
Trust in unity and you will change the world.
God save America (Never forget the name America was given by the Spanish Empire, also Spanish St. Isidore of Seville the patron on the internet and last the School of Salamanca, first world circumvallation also Spanish by Juan Sebastian Elcano invent and created the Gregorian calendar presently in use in the Western World!) - So, why I wrote this, because you can learn from others, if you want to win! King and Emperor Charles V ....
Have all a great year full of peace, health, harmony, humor and respect.

Abstract

This paper aims to contribute toward coalition building by showing that, even if we try to build coalition around what might look like our most obvious common concern - reducing racism - the dominant discourse of racial politics in the United States inhibits an understanding of how racism operates vis-à-vis Latino/as and Asian Americans, and thus proves more of an obstacle to coalition building than an aid. The black/white paradigm, which operates to govern racial classifications and racial politics in the U.S., takes race in the U.S. to consist of only two racial groups, Black and White, with others understood in relation to one of these categories. I summarize and discuss the strongest criticisms of the paradigm and then develop two further arguments. Together these arguments show that continuing to theorize race in the U.S. as operating exclusively through the black/white paradigm is actually disadvantageous for all people of color in the U.S., and in many respects for whites as well (or at least for white union households and the white poor).
