Talk:2008 in China/Archive 1

There should be an article for 2008 Tibetan anti-Chinese protests Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 08:54, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Taiwan elections took place in March. President sworn in May. Can't recall exact date. Benlisquare (talk) 09:58, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

The ROC is still China. This article is called "2008 in China", and not "2008 in the People's Republic of China". Taiwan matters are still of Chinese peoples' concern, and thus must be maintained in the article. If anyone wishes against this, then by all means rename this article. China means China. The PRC is China, the ROC is China. Unless the Republic of China renames to "Republic of Taiwan" and revises the ROC constitution, "Taiwan" is still officially the Republic of China. Similarly, by the Constitution of the United Kingdom, all overseas Pacific territories are still "Great Britain", while the local isles themselves are called the "British Isles". The ROC is indeniably China - the official nationality is Chinese; the language spoken is Mandarin Chinese; the writing system is Hanzi, or Chinese character; the majority race is Han Chinese; the name of Taiwan is Republic of China; the ROC constitution states that it represents all Chinese people; the national anthem refers to the ROC being Chinese; the "guofu" is Sun Yat-Sen, who is Han Chinese. There is very little argument possible to state that Taiwan is not China. --  李博杰   | —Talk contribs 04:07, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Dates
Dates for each specific event should be added next to each entry.

Another thing is, these events do not all have to be related to politics, or in the realms of "news and current affairs". As of this moment, they all appear to be politically related. Of course there is more that happens in China other than riots or safety recalls. --  李博杰   | —Talk contribs 11:38, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
