Another 'free world' country deserted Taiwan in favor of 'Red' China. Wadda' 'ya think 'a that?

Question

Costa Rica broke relations with Taiwan and got in bed with PRC. Another example of how money talks and bull #$%^ walks. I wonder which of the trans-national corporations pressured the Ticos into rejecting freedom for moola? Any clues?

Answer 1

This sounds like the meddling of Corporate America manipulating through Costa Rica.

Answer 2

It doesn't surprise me. Remember, we kicked Taiwan out of the United Nations, or rather took their seat away, to appease the PRC in the early 70s. This opened the way for the Nixon administration to begin a dialogue with the Red Chinese. By removing Taiwan from the U.N., we in affect were setting up the new industrial and manufacturing giant that is prevalent today. Unfortunately, Americans do not understand yet that our smokestack industries, textile and our automotive industries have been sold out from under us so that these globalist schemes can take affect. China has always been at the forefront to these long range plans respective to the multinational corporations. Americans for the most part, are just to ahistorical and arrogant to see the broader implications concerning globalism. If you think that my explanation is bordering on the lunatic "conspiracy nut" fringe; think again! Why? Who was allowed into the World Trade Organization (WTO) on SEPTEMBER 11, 2001? CHINA! Costa Rica is but another casualty to the "while we slept" crowd.

Answer 3

What's wrong with making money? If the MidEast/Moslem countries (Iran, Palestine, Iraq, Sudan) concentrate on bettering the livelihood of their people (instead of waging war), it'll be a more peaceful world.

"Pragmatism" rather than "idealism" rule.

That's why 480 of Fortune 500 companies are represented in PR China, not Taiwan (part of China). If you're not in business for profits, why be in it? That itself is more than enough reason to breakoff relation with Taiwan. Don't need any arm-twisting!
