...Beijing has hundreds of missiles pointed at Taiwan. Do you trust China's leaders? No. If they don't do something about the missiles, we won't negotiate. [But] during the two trips [former KMT chairman] Lien Chan made to China, what was missing was actually more important than what was present: "one country, two systems" and "unification of the motherland" were never mentioned by any Chinese official. Many in Taiwan believe that Hu Jintao is much more sophisticated than his predecessors in understanding Taiwan. He represents a different generation of leaders, more pragmatic, less ideological...
...vigorous and eye-poppingly artful. The admirers of these films had to search out their treasures in specialty video stores and, for the pure experience, in ratty theaters dotting the Chinatowns of major cities.

...eccentrically styled rooms. The latest venture, a couple of streets away, is a grander vehicle for his bohemianism. There are avant-garde murals and installations by nine up-and-coming local artists, and eminent creative talents were involved in the design of some of the accommodation. Graphic designer Theseus Chan covered one room with marine plywood, while director Glen Goei appointed another in red silk in homage to Chinese filmmaker Zhang Yimou's period drama Raise the Red Lantern. The hotel's modern Cantonese restaurant is just as characterful, with glass windows on the ceiling looking straight into the swimming...
...will adopt one of the name submissions, or combine suggestions for a “hybrid” name. Students whose submissions contribute to the final name will receive free coffee or tea at the café everyday for the first month it is open. According to Pamela C. Chan ’07, an LCC member and author of the survey, many students had earlier indicated their preferences that coffee be organic and fair trade. Chan hopes to gauge the level of these concerns and others among the student body on the current online survey. Beth S. Brainard, director...
