They already held US Economy hostage by being its largest foreign banker. So, why not invading Taiwan if the US would do nothing. We may have a treaty with Taiwan but if our economy is under siege by the Chinese, do we really want to go to war with China? They have the upper hand.
Sir, it’s because Taiwan haven’t did anything major to independence yet. You know the main cause of about this subject is Taiwanese independence. Currently, Taiwan haven’t put on a revolt or anything. So, China doesn’t need to do anything right now. Plus, IS U.S. really making a HUGE move? Not really. Why? Both have the Atomic Nuclear Weapon. If both start, everybpody knows
Experts say U.S.A cannot risk another war. U.S is recovering in it;s enconmy but very fragil. If we keep spending and not watching our debts and fixing our Treasury Budget, U.S might go into a ressicion again just like in 2008.
: ) Thank you. I hope this will answer your question. Good day. : )

um..i don’t really care about my capitalization or punctuation for online forums cuz nobody cares, unless they want to be an a**hole about it.
ok, taiwan they learn in highschool, and there english is very well, try ot go to china, fujian province, city fuzhou, they are always looking for teachers, but also you could look in beijing, or shanghai, those are bigger cities, also shandong province , linyin city, but you should know chinese, so i hope you do, also because taiwan does not speak mandarin so much they speak taiwanese, in china you will also have a broader range of places to go
I am calling companies in China, Hong kong & Taiwan to find a right manufacturer for a certain product we need. Just trying to get an idea if it is worth my time to call these factories on saturday?
In China and Hong Kong it varies between companies. Many of the big cities in China require that staff work on saturday for half a day (which means they do nothing on that day).
Hong Kong is similar.
Sales people are working long hours and often communicate with email and mobile phones, which means they are effectively on call 24 hours a day.
I would say wait until monday, because a saturday call might get a quick response, while on monday they will take the time and effort to do this work properly (just like I avoiding calling companies with complex enquiries on a Friday, because they often have forgetten in by monday)

China has a good enough workforce, so why do they want to take over Taiwan?
The situation between China and Taiwan is not as simple that it can boil down to workforce and economics. Much like other states who want to secceed from their own country (e.g. Quebec from Canada), Taiwan is actually a part of China historically. It was only after the uneasy peace between the KMT and Communists during WW2 and the Chinese Civil War that followed that Taiwan was proclaimed as the Republic of Taiwan and ruled exclusively by the KMT and Chiang Kai Shek. Since then, the territory has enjoyed unique rights in China (but most recently given officially to the Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Regions).
Currently China does not want to take over Taiwan, they merely do not want any posturing that would make Taiwan seem as if they were actually their own country. Think of it, Taiwan has a great economy ($630B GDP) – you would not want to lose that. Because if you do, then that success does not just become independent, instead it becomes part of the interest of another nation (e.g. Japan/US/etc etc) who would ally themselves with a sovereign Taiwan.
Taiwan has however for the most part always proclaimed their independence, which aggravates the Communist government. The only reason they have not gone to war is because Taiwan knows now to further aggrative the situation – just look at the most recent election and the problems over the candidates.
Conclusion? it’s all about sovereignty.

I wish to open a fashion shop, selling cloths.
But no experience on import export cloths.
Anyone know how to import cloths from Taiwan and China?
Will Malaysia government tax on it?
For importing, try looking for a manufacturer on www.alibaba.com. After negotiating prices, you will have to:
1. Find a logistics company to ship these goods into the U.S., prices on the transportation solely from overseas depends on the loading port and U.S. destination, amount of freight you have. Don’t forget to always purchase cargo insurance.
2. On the U.S. side, you’ll need to hire a Customs Broker to clear these shipments through U.S. Customs. Bare in mind that you will have to pay duties on these clothes depending on the fabric contents. This is the most basic step for importing.
As for export, foreign gov’t collects duties. It’s more complicated than impoting into the U.S. as sometimes ther are restrictions with the foreign gov’t. It’s would be good if you know anyone in Malaysia that works in the Int’l Logistics field to help you find out more about the Maylasian Customs criteria.
Hope this helps.
