Comment Chinese Taipei = Taiwan (Score 2, Insightful) 791

It has been said that the "Rest of the World" hates the fact that the US is the "ultimate owner" of the internet. Mark my words this is going to be a repeat of the situation with China, Chinese Taipei (tiwain), and the OLYMPICS. I have no problem the Chinese, the Chinese Gov., however, is a very different story. "They are a Freedome hating superpower that won't go away, ergo, the fact most of its citizens didn't know the US had been on the moon in 1967 untill the early 1990's (Damn thats effective censorship)." --Me Back to the point. Taiwan was not represented as Taiwan in the last olympics. "Why Chris, why was this so?" the reason was because the Chinese Gov. went to several smaller countries and used the polotical might that comes with its size (Resources, People, Land Mass, ect) and got them to vote so that when Taiwan won metals the Taiwan flag, and national anthem were off limits. I believe the Chinese will use its votes to controll access to places like Tiawan and make life hell. I believe the Chinese is using the same methods to get votes so it can controll the DNS servers and quash domestic dissidents. I believe the "Rest of the World" is the manipulative Chinese Gov. try a few links : General: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/3541180.st m WIKI: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_Taipei_at_the _2004_Summer_Olympics HORSES MOUTH: http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/english/doc/2004-08/0 7/content_363055.htm http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/en/doc/2003-11/21/con tent_283675.htm
