Abstract

Discusses how the growth of democratic standards in Taiwan creates a large political divide from mainland China. How progressive Chinese refuse to accept the notion that a democratic Taiwan would split from the motherland; Prevalence of anti-Chinese sentiments in Taiwan; Link between nationalists and democrats; How the Chinese government labelled Hong Kong's leading democracy advocate Martin Lee as a traitor; Policy that only patriots can rule Hong Kong; Suggestion that it is unrealistic to expect the progress of democracy in Taiwan to transfer to the mainland.
