    Bah, the tickets for T-Mac coming to Hong Kong aren't sold, and I just saw an ad in Young Post which said that the first 10 people who sent an email with the title "T-Mac Tickets' will get a pair of them. Unfortuntely for me, I only saw it when it was 10:00 pm.

    I'm sorry, but China is Taiwan, and Taiwan is China. LOL.................Whatever you want to call them, they're Chinese anyway, there's nothing that can change the fact.

    That's not what the Taiwan people call themselves, you seem to think you know alot about China, but so far you've been talking alot of 牛比

    Ethnically? Ok, I'll agree with that.

    But from a political perspective? Everyone knows that Taiwan operates with a ton of of autonomy.
