Resolved Question: Why does Taiwan want to
As far as I know they speak the same language, Mandarin. Thus, they must be of the same origin. I do not think there is an ethnicity called Chinese, as they do not speak the same languages, Mandarin and Cantonese. So if it was Cantonese speakers vs Mandarin speakers, I would understand the reason, but the official language of China is same with Taiwan, so what does Taiwanese people do want to be a part of China? Liuzhou Laowai, I do not think you got my question.

Resolved Question: Which of these is best
I am going to China this summer and want a picture book to help me prepare for my trip. I don't like reading long text books about China, and I hate guide books. I prefer coffee-table books because the photos inspire me. I looked on Amazon and will choose between these three.
1) China: Portrait of a People
http://www.amazon.com/CHINA-Portrait-People-Tom-Carter/dp/9889979942
2) China People Place Culture History
http://www.amazon.com/China-People-Place-Culture-History/dp/0756631599
3) China, Portrait of a Country
http://www.amazon.com/China-Portrait-Country-James-Kynge/dp/383650569X
Since I am buying on Amazon I can't see what the pictures look like first. Does anyone know which of these books has the best photos? Thanks! Thanks you, ricomon. That was really helpful. And I love your pictures. "tunnel in suzhou" should be a postcard!
Liuzhou Laowai: I voted you most helpful on my last question but this time your answer sucks! Can you please explain why "none" and tell me, then, which picture book YOU suggest?

Resolved Question: American cities endure
Every city in America has gun violence, There were 26 people shot in the American city of Chicago last weekend. The previous weekend 50 people were shot and 10 died. I am scared and want a peaceful life. How can I avoid the violence of my home country? There are no guns in China, so should I try getting an ESL teaching job there to avoid American gun violence?
http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2010-06-30-summer-violence_N.htm @ Clone of BSherman -- Of course there is some crime in China, but there is vastly less crime there than in America. The point of my question flew over your head like a bird. Your newly opened account and low point total screem for attention. You are a copy of someone else's account, so you must be very insecure. @ mingbai -- You receive the silver medal for cluelesness, the clone of BSherman won gold. There were over 30,000 gun deaths in America in 2009 (FBI statistic). No country in the world even comes close to America in gun deaths. The urban ghettos of the United States are worse than Iraq. America is a nation of death and depravity.

Resolved Question: Why is China extremely
Every country in the world has animal abuse cases, whether it is for entertainment, clothing, cosmetics, food or medical research purposes. But I have never come across a country like China which treats its animals like complete rubbish!
Dogs are beaten to death so that their meat tastes tender, people devour on monkey brains while the monkey is still alive, and in fact, they do not spare any animal when it comes to their food. And on top of it all, they have the biggest fur farm that tortures its animals in the most unspeakable way ever. Why do they do all these? Don't the Chinese citizens do anything about it?
And to make matters worse, animal laws are non-existent in China which means that people can treat their animals the way they like. Seriously, I find China to be the epitome of animal cruelty.
WHY WHY WHY????????????????????????????????????
WHAT CAN BE DONE TO STOP THIS MADNESS? @Liuzhou: Live monkey story is an utter myth?? MY DAD WENT TO CHINA AND HE WITNESSED WITH HIS OWN TWO EYES!!
yeah right, i just recently read that eating dogs is becoming trendy in China...rubbish!
What is the diff between eating a cow and a dog?? well, you people prefer to BEAT THEM TO DEATH so that their meat is tender...which i find it completely dumb and inhumane. --------------------------------------------------------
@Lizhou: I am not a racist because I myself have chinese friends. It was one of them who told me about how inhumane the monkey brain dish is!
And also for those who say that my dad was lying, what the hell does he gain by lying to me?? I know him very well and he does not joke about these kind of things!
It is a huge disappointment that in a communist country where everyone is treated as same regardless of their religion, race, BUT animals are treated otherwise. WHAT A SHAME!!!!!!
