Social unrest 'on the rise' in China (transcript from BBC, UK on 22/12/2009)

'Social unrest is on the rise in China, according an analysis by a Chinese think-tank'.
When I gone through this article I could only say that our ruling KMT party is not at all realized the critical situation Taiwan is now confronting!.
In accordance with the report, urban-rural income gap in China is widening, majority of Chinese people still cannot jump out of poverty (extreme) regardless of those middle class emerged. We have to bear in mind that these people only share very small proportion within the population as a whole. In fact deep resentment amongst the poor has been accumulating over the past few decades. These people has been experiencing unfair treatment and power abuses by government officials on many occasions. (Especially during the land dispute that local government grap from the peasants in rural region).
I would like to elaborate that chinese ethnic group cannot be justified by general practices; i.e. after few thousands years of education on "confucism", people has been taught to be obedient to superior, patriotic to their motherland, forbid to object leader's views/command. By the same token, Chinese people did not have a clue on "democracy" looks like, also literacy is at the lowest level in contrast with developed world. (May be classified at the bottom of the list).
Taiwan has been located too close to this authoritarian regime who aims to annex our nation; with over 1,500 missiles pointing at us, instead KMT government is embracing China and ignoring the sheer fact that we are of two different nations. The more Taiwan inclined towards China (no matter economically), the faster we will be diminished (becoming part of China).
Just imagine China has to deal with heaps of domestic issues; such as sustaining economic growth, stabilize social unrest, and build up a "harmonious society" (their slogan). In case one day the time bomb exploded, aiwan will be hardest hit and falls into a catastrophic scenario (even worst than climate change chaos)!
I am most concerned about KMT government's tendency towards Taiwan's sovereignty, if our circumstances persist and relinquish our right of self-determination, Taiwan will become a province of China shortly.
At the present moment, China's negotiator Chen Yunlin is discussing trade pact (ECFA) withu sin Taichung and our KMT government has given him "royal treatment" and restricted Taiwanese to speak their mind/express their views. KMT treated Taiwanese citizen like mobs and deployed heavy polic forces as to block our voices. It seems to me that martial law is underway on our motherland, if one says Taiwan is "democratized", I can argue that we still have a long long way to go.
God bless Taiwan!
