Query: Taiwanese speaks out against China.... how surprising...

This book is a bunch of biased rubbish. Stay away!I have never before seen or read such an entirely one-sided piece of work. It should be added that most of the premises Mr Chang's arguments are based on have been disproven by time. This book is outdated and irrelevant.The author generalises every single "bad" event in recent Chinese history into a prediction for the future, and dismisses the obvious positives. I was surprised at first, but since finding out his father was in the inner ranks of the Taiwanese govt, this doesn't surprise me. It appears young Gordon was indoctrinated in his views early on.Not a paragraph in the book goes by without some generalisation about how "...the ones without freedom will rise up..." "...the communist government will fail..." etc. To the point where it becomes amusing.The best thing I can say is that I'm glad I took it out of the library and not bought it or received it as a present.
