The country makes 82 percent of the world's laptop computers, 40 percent of its digital cameras and 70 percent of the LCD screens. It has more than $70 billion in annual trade with China, with which it runs a huge surplus. The Kuomintang wants an even bigger slice of Chinese business. To that end, it seeks a rapprochement with Beijing that would result in greater integration of the Chinese and Taiwanese economies. How that would affect U.S.-Taiwan trade, which amounts to $46 billion annually, is unclear. Taiwan is the United States' eighth-largest trading partner and fifth-largest importer of American agricultural products. Most analysts believe that Taiwan can't look toward China without turning away from the United States. "" "" Taiwan is a loyal ally that serves as a listening post and tripwire against Chinese expansion. Its intelligence service is a full partner in the war on terrorism that, unlike Beijing, monitors North Korean maritime shipments. Taiwan's presence also is critical to the defense of Japan, in that it serves as an unsinkable aircraft carrier from which U.S. forces could be launched. Befriending a country that has close to 900 ballistic missiles pointed at your capital doesn't make a lot of sense to President Chen. His concern is shared by the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, which noted in its report to Congress in November that Beijing's growing arsenal "puts Taiwan's ability to defend itself from attack and intimidation in doubt, and that China could impede the United States' ability to intervene successfully in a crisis or conflict."

Murray Rothbard was deeply influenced by him, and so was that whole generation of free-market thinkers. See Nock's The State of the Union. "" One of Customer Revews of "The State of the Union: Essays in Social Criticism", by Albert J. Nock: amazon.com: http://tinyurl.com/vsuvc "" No Better Introduction To A Supreme Bellettrist, January 22, 2001 Reviewer: BluesDuke "A sacred cow is worth but one thing...STEAK" (Huntington Beach, California) - See all my reviews Albert Jay Nock was perhaps one of the only three truly enduring bellettrists 20th century American letters yielded up. He deployed a truly lyric and insinuating prose style of uncommon grace and oddly puckish wit, and it served to unfurl one of the rarest of American minds - a shamelessly recalcitrant individualist whose intellectual evolution never obstructed or abrogated the core of the man: that the individual deserved his long-stolen propers; that the lowest common denominator should be tolerated but not consecrated or canonised; and, above all, that the State was an organism worthy of that which its crimes ever deserves: the fear and loathing of any and every man and woman who cares a whack about his or her fellows. To read him is a singular joy. And you will find no more sensible or beautifully-balanced introduction to the man and his singularity of writing than in this volume which Mr. Hamilton has composed with uncommon brilliance "" #0-1. 'The Criminality of the State', by Albert Jay Nock: http://tinyurl.com/yja7gf ""This essay first appeared in The American Mercury in March 1939."" "" In this way, perhaps, our people might get into their heads some glimmering of the fact that the State's criminality is nothing new and nothing to be wondered at. It began when the first predatory group of men clustered together and formed the State, and it will continue as long as the State exists in the world, because the State is fundamentally an anti-social institution, fundamentally criminal. The idea that the State originated to serve any kind of social purpose is completely unhistorical. It originated in conquest and confiscation – that is to say, in crime. It originated for the purpose of maintaining the division of society into an owning-and-exploiting class and a propertyless dependent class – that is, for a criminal purpose. No State known to history originated in any other manner, or for any other purpose. Like all predatory or parasitic institutions, its first instinct is that of self-preservation. All its enterprises are directed first towards preserving its own life, and, second, towards increasing its own power and enlarging the scope of its own activity. For the sake of this it will, and regularly does, commit any crime which circumstances make expedient. In the last analysis, what is the German, Italian, French, or British State now actually doing? It is ruining its own people in order to preserve itself, to enhance its own power and prestige, and extend its own authority; and the American State is doing the same thing to the utmost of its opportunities. '' '' No, "democratic" State practice is nothing more or less than State practice. It does not differ from Marxist State practice, Fascist State practice, or any other. Here is the Golden Rule of sound citizenship, the first and greatest lesson in the study of politics: you get the same order of criminality from any State to which you give power to exercise it; and whatever power you give the State to do things for you carries with it the equivalent power to do things to you. A citizenry which has learned that one short lesson has but little more left to learn. Stripping the American State of the enormous power it has acquired is a full-time job for our citizens and a stirring one; and if they attend to it properly they will have no energy to spare for fighting communism, or for hating Hitler, or for worrying about South America or Spain, or for anything whatever, except what goes on right here in the United States.

"Thomas Jefferson", by Albert J. Nock: http://tinyurl.com/yakx5x #1: John Naisbitt: http://naisbitt.com/ http://tinyurl.com/ykklhl "Mind Set!: Reset Your Thinking and See the Future", by John Naisbitt: http://tinyurl.com/ybzjxj "" From Booklist Naisbitt, prescient "futurist" and best-selling author of Megatrends (1982) and Megatrends 2000 (1990), reveals the process behind his ability to anticipate global trends. Naisbitt broke away from his small-town Mormon roots to become a top executive at IBM and Eastman Kodak and was an assistant to both presidents Kennedy and Johnson before becoming a global philosopher, studying trends by monitoring hundreds of daily local newspapers. In part 1, his 11 mind-sets reveal ways to approach the processing of information without the constraints imposed on us by preconceived ideas and popular culture. Mindset Four, "Understanding how powerful it is not to have to be right," is a prime example of how stubborn thinking, particularly in the fields of politics and medicine, puts huge constraints on the abilities of leaders to solve problems. In part 2, Naisbitt smashes many of the preconceptions we have about globalization and our perception of change. David Siegfried Copyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved ""
