...Taiwan people tell us they worry that closer ties with China will dilute the character of Taiwan, which is freer, more spirited, more independent. I wouldn't worry about that at all.

Bang, the U.S. should be in the Olympics. Handball players and the USOC will tell you that the game is way too technical and that it takes years to learn all the tricks.
