Taiwan and China -To Soai.

I read a very profound diary on one of my friends blog. I think his topic is really interesting for me too. Let me say something about it.
Actually I also don't have clear opinion or knowledge about this topic yet. It is said that Chinese and Taiwanese issues are more serious than Chinese and Japanese issues. Through communication with many international students in AIU, I learned that even among students not only nations, care those issues. As you said in the diary, students from Taiwan insist that they are Taiwanese, not Chinese. On the other hand, Students who came from Main Land China say that Taiwan is just a part of China.
I often confused when I ask Chinese to some of them. There are mainly two types of Chinese,letters, u know? They are 繁體字：traditional letters and 简体字:simplified letters. When I asked Chinese people, I mean friends from Main Land China, they said "Traditional type of Chinese is not a proper Chinese. It is just a dialect. Simplified type of Chinese is the only correct Chinese."
Because I like both letters，I felt uncomfortable to listen to it. It confuse me a lot.

Another example, When I asked Chinese language to students from Taiwan, they said that they feel a little bit uncomfortable when I said "Chinese language". Because they use "Taiwanese"...hmm but isn't it different Taiwanese from Chinese?? However, I cannot say anything about it clearly. I think I can learn more about these issues and get a lot of knowledge. Yet, these issues have a many aspects. I have to think about it critically. Critical thinking is to think about a thing, an event, or an issue very deeply from many perspectives, from many fields such as political, economical, educational, historical, military,and so on.
Even though I learned many things about these issues, I don't think that I can really understand them deeply yet. Because I am a Japanese, so I cannot really understand people's feelings who live in Taiwan and in Main Land China.
I will go to Taiwan from this summer to study Chinese language mainly. However, I would love to learn more about these delicate issues. I hope I would able to have some opportunities to talk about them with Taiwanese people, Chinese people, and other people from all over the world. I want to know more about Japanese impression for other Asian people. I believe that Japan is also a part of Asia. There may be many people who hate us, Japan. I wanna seek out some ways to get along with other Asian country.

Finally, Thank you Soai to share such a good experience and your opinion on your blog. I hope I can talk with you again.
