They have an office in Taipei and they *have* said they have an office in China...as I recall it was in their very first press release. Please read this story in the English language newspaper, The Taipei Times: http://www.taipeitimes.com/news/2000/01/06/story/0 000018554
Do you know how many top-notch programmers I could hire in China for $4677? Four years ago I could get one with a Master's for about $2.50 per day. Think about it.
The buying power of the Chinese is concentrated (as it has been for the past 150 years) in the hands of a VERY few business people and government officials living in the South China coastal areas close to Hong Kong and across the straits from Taiwan in Fujian. Their economic growth has been fueled solely by outsiders, foreign multinationals and rich Overseas Chinese looking for cheap labor and lax/non-existent environmental regulations. Over 900,000,000 people are peasants living lives so hard you can't imagine in your worst dreams. A pot to piss in? Only 50 miles outside of Hong Kong, the villages are little changed from the 15th century. Oh yeah, they will have a TV, usually the village head will have one and everyone in the village will go over to watch it in the evening. By 9PM, everyone is in bed. No electric lights, etc, etc. The reason the Chinese goverment is so scared is because there is NO way they are ever going to be able to give their people lives even close to what the Taiwanese and Koreans experience. Sooner or later, the laws of economics are going to kick in and when they do, there WILL be a revolution led by poor peasants from central China....just like the last one.
Somebody better just learn English. There's no link to a "South China Ministry"....it's to The South China Morning Post, an English language newspaper in Hong Kong. Oh yeah, don't go holding your breath for the Chinese to abide by the GPL, they tend to operate under the assumption "What's yours is mine, what's mine is mine." LinuxOne anyone???
The FBI has always found it easier to simply murder smeone than to take them to trial....Ruby Ridge is a prime example. Buy lots of guns and get ready for the day. It's coming. Fuck the FBI.
China, with 900,000,000 peasants, has to borrow money from overseas banks to provide even the most basic infrastructure for it's people, yet has enough money to run a space program.....methinks something be amiss.
I suggest you ask the Philippines whether or not they consider China to be a threat....a hint, they do. In fact, virtually every country in SE Asia is worried about China. Why else do you think Singapore wants the US to base military forces there. Why do you think the countries there are armimg themselves to the teeth?
BTW, ever hear of the Sino-Indian War? India's development of nuclear weapons was the direct result.
If you went to China and checked out the software markets you'd find plenty of wargames pitting the PRC against the US. In 1990, one of the most popular novels in China was "Yellow Peril" concerning a nuclear strike on the US followed by an invasion. The Chinese have considered foreigners to be subhuman for at 1,000 years. I suggest you read the philosopher Chu-hsi's comments on foreigners (not just westerners....anyone NOT Chinese). Very influential, he considered foreigners one step up from dogs.
Taco Cowboy sounds like he just got off the boat and is looking for a job waiting tables in the local Chinese slopshop. Somebody call the INS....please.
The guy that wrote the Chernobyl Virus is in the Taiwan Army (although he was a student when he wrote it) and is considered a national hero. The Taiwanese and Communist Chinese have been probing each other's cyber defenses for sometime.

Got news for you sonny. The bombers were dropping bombs on areas of Cambodia that had been virtually ceded to the Vietnamese by Sihanok. Before the Khmer Rouge?? What do you actually know about the history of the Khmer Rouge, Pol Pot or Cambodia? There were large areas in Cambodia in the 1950's that were completely controlled by the Communists. The idea that US bombers drove the KR to murder their own people is bullshit put out by people like Sidney Shanberg who (as they did in Vietnam) kept reporting that the Communists were fine up-standing people and everything would be ok when they took over. Things weren't.
Please tell me how many people have been murdered by the US government in Columbia, SC? Last time I was there it was pretty peaceful....except the nught before the USC-Clemson game. USC got murdered as usual.
And BTW, the Cambodians were murdered by the Khmer Rouge....aided, trained and protected by the Communist Chinese.....several to the leaders were either born in China or were of Chinese ancestry. I suggest you get you head out of the books and into the world. It'll help you grow up.
Have you ever registered at any Chinese language sites? Can you even *view* the characters? I would be willing to bet that a higher percentage of Chinese can read English than Westerners read Chinese. They don't tend to get involved with Westerners because......well, you fill in the blank. If you knew how much Linux research is being done in the PRC and Taiwan, you might not be so happy. Trust me, it's alot. Check:
I suggest you go to Tiananmen some day and put up a sign something on the order of "Fuck Communism" and see what happens. Whether they fit YOUR definition of what communism is or isn't is totally irrelevant. It's what THEY believe. And they believe (and call themselves) they are communists.
The answer is to simply run NetPositive.....of course that means you'll also have to be running BeOS:^) And to the moderators....NO! This isn't a f*cking troll or flamebait! Believe it or not, there are other OSes out there besides Linux and Windows. FWIW, Netscape 4.61 cooks on OS/2 Warp 4!
The November 1, 1999 issue of The Taipei Times (http://www.taipeitimes.com/beta) had an article about Chinese piracy. In the story George Haley explaned that:
"Confucianism," he writes, "promulgates high ethical standards," but "they are contextual. That is, they depend on the relationship between the parties in question. Without one of Confucianism's five relationships existing between two parties, no ethical duty exists for either party." In other words, some form of personal relationship must exist for ethical relationships to exist, says Haley. "With no appropriate personal relationships, the Chinese would view the USA as outside their ethical system, and feel little compunction about stealing technology."

If you knew anything about the business you'd know that profit margins are so slim there's absolutely NO WAY the Taiwanese could invest in another os/architecture even if they wanted to. Very few Taiwanese (and I mean VERY few) know squat about anything other than Wintel. They design everything for MS/Intel and if others can use it fine, but they aren't going out of their way to support anyone or anything else. Also, alot of Taiwanese companies (like UMAX) got burned real bad several years dealing with PPC. Remember the Apple clones? I don't think you're going to see many Taiwanese companies jumping over to PPC anytime soon. BTW, just to give you an idea of prices, a top of the line case (no power supply) sells to the big boys (Compaq, Dell, Fujitsu, IBM etc) for only about $13.50US. You buy it on the street and it'll go for about $90.
Gee, my father fought in Europe in WWII, I spent 2 years in Europe "defending" Europeans from themselves and now my daughter (in the 82d Airborne) is in Kosovo doing the same. You worthless fucks just never learn, do you? America's problem is that too many of our worthless politicians are Euro-trash wannabees......Bill Clinton comes to mind.
Tell you what, next time, please spend your vacation someplace like Ibiza where you can screw yourselves silly and smoke yourself unconscious.

So what? Most of them don't have a pot to piss in, much less a computer. It's not a situation that's going to change anytime soon.
