Title:I want more money-A poor story of our Taiwanese employees

I used to work in an ASE(Advanced Semi-Conductor Engineering 日月光)company,but last August, my company forced our 1500 employees(including to resign from work,and i was unemployeed in one year, later I joined a company "Champion"(長宏人力仲介公司) which provides us a job opportunity with less money(only 17000 NT )and with working 12 hours a day, 5 days a week and without giving health insurance(which means I have to pay 650 NT a month by myself)

But money what i earned is not enough to pay all cost to my living,eating,etc.

Am I unlucky? Sure, but i'm not the only one. Most people in Taiwan have lost their job and they need to accept this opportunity of a job with "working in a long hours and receiving less money"
I've been disappointed to our DDP government(although i voted them in 2004). They don't do anything to change our bad economic situation but all of us Taiwanese at least want to see "some changes".
Just wanna "some changes", ok? If either Chinese Communist Party or KMT can do some changes on this bad economic situation, then why not voting them?
Now, this thing comes to my mind:"DDP always wants the independence of Taiwan and it's not independent now. If it is independent , we will have more unfortunate life than now in future"


Is Taiwan very rich? Yes, but only 25% of Taiwan's population is very rich.
And there're 75% of Taiwan's population living like my standard,so i'm not the first who has this case.

Currency bill reveals U.S. protectionism, risking Sino-U.S. ties

As U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson kicked off his Beijing visit on Monday, observers warned that trade protectionism in Washington posed a threat to China-U.S. trade relations.

Three days before Paulson's China trip, the Senate Financial Committee overwhelmingly passed a bill that allowed the U.S. government to use a wide array of measures to force other countries to adopt more market-oriented currency policies.

"This bill has ominous implications for U.S.-China trade and stands a very good chance of becoming law," said Stephen S. Roach, chairman of the Morgan Stanley Asia Limited, in an interview with Xinhua.

He said Paulson had an important job ahead in impressing on the Chinese leadership the gravity of the political situation in Washington. "Nothing happens by coincidence in the political realm. Washington's protectionist tilt is unmistakable," he said.

The economist who has spoken three times this year in the U.S. Congress on U.S.-China trade relations predicted that the final legislation would be passed at the end of the year with the bi-partisan support of at least two-thirds of the members in both the House and the Senate, ruling out the possibility of a veto by President George W. Bush.

As the U.S. trade deficit with China shows little sign of declining, U.S. politicians increasingly claimed the yuan was undervalued.

"I am not a believer in the currency elasticity theory of the bilateral trade fix. Without an improvement in U.S. saving, any such efforts on the currency front are doomed to failure," he said.

The net national saving rate of the United States averaged a record low of one percent over the past three years.

With little saving, U.S. economic growth had to rely on massive capital inflow. Unfortunately, U.S. dollar's position was being undermined by the strengthening euro and RMB yuan, said Tan Yaling, a research analyst with the Bank of China.

"Although the dominant position of the U.S. dollar will not weaken easily, the currency bill has unveiled a strong political hint that the American politicians want other countries to dance to their tune," she said.

The legislation allows U.S. companies to seek anti-dumping duties on goods from any country that maintains what the U.S. government calls a "fundamentally misaligned" exchange rate.

U.S. consumers and multinationals would stand to lose rather than benefit, because more than 60 percent of the total growth in Chinese exports originated from "foreign-invested enterprises", both Roach and Tan warned.

"By putting pressure on the RMB-dollar cross rate," Roach said," Washington is unwittingly squeezing the efficiency solution of U.S. multinationals and imposing the functional equivalent of a tax hike on American consumers."

The central parity rate of yuan against U.S. dollar has grown by more than eight percent accumulatively from 8.28 yuan in July 2005 to the latest high of 7.5725 yuan. The country's trade surplus, however, snowballed to 112.5 billion U.S. dollars in the first half of the year, up 83 percent from the same period last year.

The comparative advantages of China in production costs and productivity remained strong and punitive duties would only encourage China to expand its export market elsewhere, Tan said.

"The bill has predicated a hazardous tendency for the U.S. government to attempt to manipulate international organizations for its own good. This is unprecedented behavior and unacceptable," she said.

The legislation urges the Bush administration to take action through the International Monetary Fund and the World Trade Organization against targeted countries that declined to reform their currency policies while allowing the Federal Reserve to intervene in global markets against the misaligned currency if the country fails to make appropriate reforms one year after being cited by the United States.

Roach said the worst-case scenario would be an escalation of retaliatory trade actions between the U.S. and China, which would have devastating implications for U.S. consumers and Chinese producers alike.

"I am hopeful that the political leadership in both the U.S. and China might come to their senses before sliding down what could be a very slippery slope," he said.

A Taiwanese soldier who wanna murder Chen Shui-Bian

Not only many Taiwanese ordinary people but also the military soldier(who doesn't have right to vote) would like to step down Chen Shui-Bian and Taiwan pro-independence politicians.
MND under fire for response to threat to Chen Shui-Bian

Former army honor guard Qu Zhao-kang (屈肇康), who left a message in an Internet chatroom saying that he wanted to harm the president, was indicted last week, with prosecutors seeking a seven year prison sentence.
But the response of the Ministry of National Defense, which initially branded his act as being "mere personal conduct" has drawn criticism.
Qu, who will finish his military service at the end of this year, posted the message online in March, but it was not exposed until two weeks ago.
Qu is a graduate of the department of Japanese at Dongwu University(東吳大學). He had been planning to devote himself to a military career.
Qu left a message in a Yahoo chatroom identifying himself as an army honor guard. He wrote that when President Chen Shui-bian (陳水扁) welcomed Nauru President Ludwig Scotty with an honor guard from the air force, the army and the navy on March 7, "I almost could not resist the urge to poke my M-1 rifle into the president's head."
The M-1 rifles carried by the guards are unloaded, but they are fitted with bayonets.
Internet surfers reported the matter to the army.
The army immediately relieved Qu of his duties as an honor guard.
When first approached by the press for comments on June 30, army spokesman Zhou Yan-Zhong (周彥中), who was just promoted as a lieutenant general this month, said the military would regard Qu's comments as "personal conduct" and officials had been discussing the matter with him.
The army regarded Qu's post as "comments from outside the military" because Qu posted his messages during his vacation.
As such, Qu "did not distribute the wrong message as a soldier," Qu said.
However, some critics panned the ministry's response.
Branding Qu's act as "personal conduct" sent out the wrong message to other people doing military service, critics said.
Zhang Jia-lun (張家倫), public affairs secretary-general at a non-profit group called Taiwan Youth which advocates on issues concerning young people, said the ministry should not have so casually dismissed the case.
"If Qu is forgiven, will it mean that any soldier will be allowed to threaten his superior officers if he hates them?" Zhang said. "How will they [superior officers] lead their soldiers in the future?"
Zhou said that Qu earlier this month was charged under Article 16 of the Military Criminal Code (陸海空軍刑法), which stipulates that anyone who distributes messages encouraging soldiers to carry out any form of seditious activity faces a sentence of no less than seven years.
The ministry did not explain why the military initially regarded Qu's message as not violating the Military Criminal Code.
People First Party (PFP) Legislator Lu Xue-Zhang (呂學樟) said that the military had been wrong to indict Qu.
"I am not saying that Qu's remarks are absolutely OK. But, he simply posted a message, and didn't `distribute the message and encourage' fellow soldiers to assassinate the president. Article 16 of the Military Criminal Code does not apply to his case at all," Lu said.

The pro-independence govt of Taiwan become gradually unfavored by Taiwanese people

The DDP gov(pro-independence) of Taiwan is really corrupt. The officials in Taiwan don't know how to solve the problem of "unfair rise of dairy products" even though Taiwan workers' salary doesn't rise. The living of Taiwanese people is gradually becoming poorer than poorer.

Down DDP! Down Taiwan-independence!





Local consumers of dairy products are expected to see their wallet shrink significantly, as retail prices for various brands of fresh milk and powdered milk are poised to rise by 15 to 20 percent, starting August 1, according to industry sources.
The sources said the price hike is certainly inevitable, given the sharp rise in international raw material prices, and the government's decision to allow dairy farms to raise their milk prices by NT$3.52 per liter.

Such famous domestic dairy farms as Uni-President, Guangchuan and Weichuan have all decided to raise prices for their fresh milk by 15 percent starting next month.

In terms of milk powder, such brands as Fernleaf and Anlene took the lead to hike their prices by over 20 percent, while other brands including Quaker, Nestle and Abbot will also follow suit, with a 20 percent price rise.

After the price hike, a bottle of 980ml Kuangchuan fresh milk will sell for NT$63, up NT$8 from the current price of NT$55, while half a gallon of the same brand of milk will be retailed at NT$122, representing a rise of NT$14 from the existing price of NT$108.

Meanwhile, a bottle of 290ml Juisui milk supplied by the Uni-President Group will be hiked by 12 percent to NT$28 from the existing price of NT$25.

As to Weichuan, the company will determine the size of the price hike after negotiating with local distributors and weighing its operating costs.

Abbot, the U.S. baby food giant, may hike its sales prices in Taiwan for the first time this year, but the size of the hike will be kept under 5 percent.

Nestle noted that it is still evaluating the timing and size of the price hike for its milk powder products sold in Taiwan, and will make a final decision on the matter by the end of July.

Local hypermarts said that in order not to violate the fair trade law, major brands of milk powder have kept it a top secret as to when to raise their retail prices.
