Are you the only person on Earth who doesn't know that Taiwanese are investing billions of dollars into China these days?
Oh, I keep up on things. You got a "vested interest" in your spiel there, Formosa Plastics? Taiwanese or Taiwanese businesses?
Taiwan's Investment in Chinese Mainland Increases 12.99 Percent
Snip...Meanwhile, Taiwan's investment in Chinese mainland from January to May registered 1.2 billion U.S. dollars, a 12.99 per cent growth compared to the same period last year.
Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. and Formosa Plastic Group's investment plans estimated to be over 20 million U.S. dollars each, were two major players that helped boost the figure, the report said.

Are you even aware that in the last 2 years, over 1 mil. Taiwanese have actually moved to the mainland?
Yeah? I'd like to read about that. Are you aware that many nations are on the lookout for illegal Chinese immigrants who are looking for a better life outside of their communist-controlled homeland"?
And as a little "tidbit" on independence...
Taiwan's Move on Passports Step towards 'Independence'
Bottom of article...Chen Shui-bian, from the pro-independence Democratic Progressive Party, grabbed power after defeating the Kuomintang party in the election in 2000.
They don't want independence so badly they didn't elect a pro-independence party in 2000.

Um, are you not aware that Chen won in 2000 only because the two pro-opposition parties split the opposition vote? 62% of Taiwan's electorate actually didn't vote for Chen. In addition, Chen's popularity now is the lowest it's ever been, for good reason.

Sure, China still has 850 mil. peasants or so. China's still a developing country. Nevertheless, Taiwanese still invest billions of dollars there and move there, and this year China became the #1 destination for foreign direct investment worldwide.

Here are some international articles on the subject to put things in perspective:
MOFA: Taiwan's interests not harmed
Post-summit, the score is even
Texas summit yields little for Jiang
No surprises from summit
Taiwan: interests not dented in Bush-Jiang talks
All the above were taken via ChiCom Watch
Basically, my impression is that nothing has changed, particularly given Pres. Bush's statement re: the TRA. Further, none of the press agencies (including the socialist leaning ones besides Reuters) have played up the comment to be a victory for the PRC. There are still a few days for this to play out but I think the "no surprises from summit" title sums the whole thing up fairly well. Thus far everyone is in consensus that the summit was, as expected, a wash.

FWIW, here's an neat editorial I found regarding Taiwan continuing with a peaceful attitude:
Missile threat to Taiwan

Philman & maui (heads-up) - ignore 'formosaplastics' (signed up 2002-10-27) s/he's just a PRC agitprop that has gone by several other monikers such as AIG and latourette. They've been banned/booted from FR several times but are, evidently, too dumb to learn. As a result, freepers familiar with this agitprop have just started to ignore his/her posts (trust me - it really is like talking to a mind-numbed robot).
