See article keywords and concepts |  China continues to see taiwan as a renegade province, and taiwan, of course, is an independent country by any definition; it has just failed so far to declare its independence, even though it operates completely independently from China.
There's been military and political tension between these two countries for a long time, since the late 1940s when Chiang Kai-shek and his allies left the mainland China and came to taiwan. Over the last decade, though, we've seen huge cross-investment between the two countries. We've seen businesspeople from taiwan going into China and setting up factories. |

See article keywords and concepts |  I remember living in taiwan in the 1990's, and I paid something like $4 / month for health insurance coverage. A visit to the doctor cost me $2 out of pocket. Every person in taiwan who has a job gets automatic health insurance coverage, and the nation has prospered economically over the last four decades in a way that the U.S. simply cannot match. The taiwan people are innovative, resourceful and hard working. Of course, they're also hopelessly corrupt when it comes to politics, but that seems to be a universal law: Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Oolong Teas
Oolong teas come mainly from the southeastern coasts of China and taiwan. After being harvested, the leaves are left to wither to remove some of their moisture. They are then rolled by a machine to release their juices, followed by a partial fermenting process and oven firing. The tea's copperish color is somewhere between that of green and black teas. Oolong tea's flavor is milder than that of black tea but stronger than that of green tea. It contains the same cancer-fighting properties as green and black teas.

1. INTRODUCTION
"Nutraceutical" is a term coined in 1979 by Stephen DeFelice (DeFelice, 1992). It is defined "as a food or parts of food that provide medical or health benefits, including the prevention and treatment of disease. |

When a patient turned up in his office with mercury poisoning, Dr. Christopher Lam, chair at the department of chemical pathology at Hong Kong's Prince of Wales Hospital, examined her skin whitening cream and found mercury levels 65,000 times higher than amounts allowed in the US. Follow-up product tests conducted by Lam found mercury in eight of 38 skin whitening creams made in China and taiwan. Some of the products were labeled "mercury free. |

See article keywords and concepts |  Of course, I am referring to taiwan. A country that provides full service health coverage for only $25/month. And that includes maternity care, dental care, everything! And it's the same $25 whether you're 16 or 60, regardless of your health history. You can't be disqualified as long as you're a taiwan citizen.
Yet in the United States, some people are being charged $1000 per month for only partial coverage. Why is that? Because health insurance is extremely inefficient. |

In the U.S. such a student would be considered a genius. In taiwan, it's routine.
So what's left, then? If we can't do labor jobs, and our population can't think straight enough to compete on the brain jobs, what kind of work can we do? The answer is obvious: we can all get jobs treating each other's diseases! |

See article keywords and concepts | | But back to China and taiwan, war is prevented by cross-investment because everybody's making so much money out of these factories. taiwan businesspeople are making money, Chinese businesspeople are making money, Chinese politicians are making money, and Chinese police are making lots of bribery money because you've got to bribe the right people to do business in China. So, there's no profit in war. If you go to war, you spoil the economic profit that's there.
Now, back in the United States, let's say Donald Rumsfeld, for example, owned a chain of factories in Iraq before 2001. | | We've seen businesspeople from taiwan going into China and setting up factories. There's a huge outsourcing of labor from taiwan into China, where they're using cheap, mainland Chinese labor to build physical goods, computer components, electronics and so on, and as a result, this trade is opening up new avenues of potential peace between these two countries. It's opening up the possibility that perhaps someday these two countries will merge and become one, and they will become stronger from doing so. | | There's been military and political tension between these two countries for a long time, since the late 1940s when Chiang Kai-shek and his allies left the mainland China and came to taiwan.

Soap berries are grown without pesticides. All soap berries are naturally organic. (Because bugs don't like to eat soap.) Their cultivation is earth-friendly and sustainable, which is in great contrast to the chemical production of laundry detergent which pollutes our waters, soils and bodies. |

The soap contained in the shell of the soap berry is highly concentrated: Just two or three soap nut shells cleans an entire load of laundry. The saponins also naturally exhibit antibacterial and antifungal properties, leading to fresh, clean smelling clothes without the need for artificial fragrance chemicals.

Toy companies, he said, are really little more than "sales and marketing platforms; they don't manufacture anything." The creation of toys is outsourced. So whatever the proscriptions of American or European law, the message must be communicated by the mother companies to their manufacturers abroad, some of which may even be in the same city in China.
