The Story on BBC
July 4th - a celebration of independence, the overthrowing of a tyrant; a great day to celebrate freedom. How fortunate (or unfortunate) and coincidental that this day also marks the opening of direct flights from China to Taiwan after nearly 60 years of separation. It is amazing how fast President Ma and his trusted advisors closed this deal with the Mainland. "Status quo" - I think not. Happiness to China, a boost in Taiwan's stock market, and the stuffing of many pockets. I dare say this is the beginning of the end; it won't matter if you are blue or green because soon there will only be one nation, "One Family" and one 'red' flag.
