China stands poised to assert itself as the pre-eminent power in the Asia-Pacific region.

John Tkacik

We do highly graphical jobs that are very detailed. If you want to make sure a tie is green and you send it over to Taiwan, and it comes in purple, then you have seven to 12 weeks to wait for the new editions to come in. Here, we are able to control everything.

Sharon Lobel

The chance that Taiwan has to lead in this space is now excellent.

We have not owned any financial shares for a while. There are just hardly any growth drivers for the industry, unless the Taiwan government allowed banks to access the Chinese market.

Sheng Yen

China has to calculate how to respond to not annoy the (Taiwan) populace and not fall into Chen's trap. Chen wants a strong reaction from China. They are watching what the United States does next, what the opposition parties do next, and then they will decide what to do.

George Tsai

The January sale has come of age. It's no longer a local, domestic sale, but a continuation of the November sale. There was a very international contingent of buyers here from Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, South America and Mexico.

Geoffrey Russell

These two points are lies. UN Resolution 2758 does not say a word about the relationship between Taiwan and China, let alone say that the PRC represents Taiwan.

China's move showed serious disrespect for Taiwan. The two sides haven't started negotiations on the panda offer but China, through propaganda manipulation, made it seem like Taiwan is sure to receive the gift.

Joseph Wu

As of last week, foreign investors had sold over NT$40 billion net of Taiwan equities this month. I see little reason for putting the brakes on the selling spree over the remainder of the month given the lack of catalysts for the bulls.

Oliver Fang

The conclusion was that the DPP would not waiver again -- they would come out with a clear-cut Taiwan independence position.

Su Chi

It's common knowledge here that the election of the Prime Minister was not a fair and free one. It's been corrupted by Taiwan and business houses owned by Solomon Islanders of Chinese origin.

Liu Jianchao

I believe that on the basis of this stable balance, Taiwan and China's peaceful achievement of one China -- which is the policy of China, the policy of Taiwan and the policy of the United States -- can move forward.

C. Blair

The Taiwan question is the most important and the most sensitive core issue in the China-U.S. relationship. Leaders of the two countries will most naturally talk about the Taiwan question.

By breaking his own promises, Chen is attempting to stir up the secessionist sentiments in Taiwan and create confrontations between different groups of people in the island, as well as to provoke the mainland and strain the cross-Straits relations.

Xu Bodong

Many people in Taiwan hope that the torch relay of the sacred flame of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games can also cover Taiwan.

Yumi Oshima

(Beijing) hopes to establish legal basis for (its) Taiwan policy ... and Chinese leaders want to establish a base line.

David Huang

Unfortunately, I haven't seen it during my five days in the space. But I did see the beautiful coastline of our motherland and the island of Taiwan.

Fei Junlong

The way he will balance these pressures is making things very ambiguous. He will refer to Taiwan, the Republic of China, one China as an issue to discuss. He will be jumping around.

Tim Ting

China now threatens not just Taiwan but every corner of the Pacific Ocean with its aggressive expansion of military power.

Annette Lu

The Kenya side reiterated that there was only one China in the world; the Government of the People's Republic of China is the sole legal government representing China, and Taiwan is an inalienable part of the Chinese territory.

Raphael Tuju

You have to travel abroad to find out how well-regarded Taiwan (art house) movies and directors are. But at home, nobody pays any attention.

Jia Qingguo

Exporters are likely to buy the Taiwan dollar before the year ends.

Joseph Lee

It a privilege and an honor to be invited with so many great players around the country right now. We have all put in a lot of hard work and to be recognized by USA Softball is special. I was not expecting this, but the opportunity to play with Desiree one more time after my college career. The chance to play with her again this summer in Taiwan at the World University Games would be incredible.

Tina Boutelle

Regarding these issues, certainly what is most important is to preserve and enhance the peace and stability of the Taiwan Strait.

Tomohiko Taniguchi

They've decided it's more efficient for Washington to tell Taiwan what to do and what not to do.

Philip Yang

I am bearish on Taiwan.

We believe there is a difference between the majority of Democratic Progressive Party members and the extremely small number of die-hard 'Taiwan independence' elements.

Qian Qichen

The concept took all of two years. The original line-up had 50 names and 100 possible numbers. But it's difficult to get so many busy artists to find the time to record one album. Eventually, the list was whittled down to 13 artists, plus another four from Asia: Taiwan, South Korea, Japan and Indonesia.

Kenny G

The value that Taiwan places on being able to purchase a reliable supply of high quality wheat from this region year after year is an example of what can be accomplished and the beneficial relationship that can develop when farmers work with their customers to promote their products.

John Hoeven

A row between China and Taiwan provided traders and overseas investors an excuse to sell Hong Kong stocks.

Sean Li

Our industry, I think, is in pretty good shape. There's a big requirement on a global basis to move to the smaller line widths for the next round of chip sets, ... ?But clearly we are seeing up-ticks in Korea, Taiwan, Japan, Europe and the United States.

James Morgan

There was talk the Chinese government will let its people visit Taiwan soon.

Derek Lam

We hope the Taiwan authorities deal with the visit in a pragmatic way and facilitate it.

Li Weiyi

There will probably be some funds flowing out of Taiwan, weakening the currency. More losses in the stock index may prompt some investors to sell more shares. The Taiwan dollar has room to decline today.

Lo Chung

This law would define China and Taiwan as a unified country, and unilaterally change mainland China's legal approach to status of Taiwan. This is an unwelcome and provocative action that would increase, rather than calm, tensions in the region.

Todd Akin

Chen is irritating the island's biggest ally by refusing the U.S. government's appeal, making Taiwan even more vulnerable to political and military pressure from China.

Mike Shiao

We believe the growth will also be rapid in Taiwan.

Hiroyuki Oda

Taiwan probably will try to present itself as a victim of the law.

Joseph Cheng

If they choose a leader who advocates Taiwan independence, this timetable may well not be a question of years, but of a few dozen hours.

Xu Bodong

The birds from Taiwan were held in the same room, but not in the same cage, as the Suriname parrot.

Watson Sung

Taiwan is drifting towards the opposite direction of reunification. That's why we feel some urgency. We have to stop that trend.

Tao Wenzhao

But I believe within the alliance we need to define those things where we have an interest and those things that might be regarded as the American interest, and the most sensitive of those is obviously Taiwan.

Malcolm Fraser

The Taiwan issue concerns China's core interest and the national feelings of 1.3 billion Chinese.

Jia Qinglin

The PLA (People's Liberation Army) continues to deploy missile forces in areas opposite Taiwan. Those represent a growing force for intimidation.

William Mccahill

I hope that Taiwanese cultural content will become as popular in Korea as Korean content is in Taiwan.

Vivian Hsu

We think the U.S. role is important. Better Sino-American relations will enhance the solution of the Taiwan issue.

Tao Wenzhao

Capital inflow to Taiwan is supporting the currency. Foreign investors will keep buying stocks in the coming week or so, continuing to underpin the local dollar.

Isaho Nakasho

We hope Taiwan will hurry up and conclude consultations in order to meet the wishes of the Taiwan people.

Cao Qingyao

The ratings on Taiwan could be lowered if further fiscal slippages cause the debt burden to rise markedly.

Ping Chew

Taiwan is an independent sovereign country.

Chen Shui bian

Stock inflows are likely to continue, strengthening the Taiwan dollar. There's a higher chance of the currency rising.

Lo Chung

Samsung's deal with Qualcomm will pave the way for the chipmaker to expand the chip foundry business, and is bad news for Taiwan foundry manufacturers.

Jay Kim

Chinese government and people resolutely opposes the United States and Japan in issuing any bilateral document concerning China's Taiwan, which meddles the internal affairs of China, and hurts China's sovereignty.

Foreign Ministry

I think the biggest thing to scare Hong Kong was the devaluation of Taiwan. This is a country with substantial foreign exchange reserves. That's what sparked the fall in Hong Kong.

John Bender

This indicates the two companies might have room for further cooperation as each of them has said they want to be the acquirer. M&A activities have been accelerating in Taiwan.

Parker Wu

The Aegis-equipped systems certainly have the capability to be upgraded and equipped at some point with theatre missile defense technologies that would provide Taiwan with defense capabilities against Chinese missiles.

Evan Medeiros

Their systems could be so disrupted that they can't go on with business. They can't export, they can't import. It's hard to place a phone call into Brazil. It's hard to get the parts from Taiwan. All that could add up to a global recession that could still impact our economy.

Edward Yardeni

If the rate expectations continue to come down, Hong Kong, as an interest rate sensitive market will likely benefit. Moreover, if the interest rate expectations drop, the U.S, growth expectations will also taper off. This will also encourage money to flow from the growth sensitive markets, notably Korea and Taiwan. Hong Kong will be an idea destination.

Eddie Wong

The Chinese government and people strongly urge Chad and a very few other countries to stop doing anything further to support the secessionist activities in the name of 'Taiwan independence' and hurt the feelings of the Chinese people.

Zhang Yishan
