you just get married like any other couple, then she applies for citizenship

The process of getting married is the same, regardless where she was from. The only difference would be for her to bring in her passport as formal ID, at the county office. But it's best you first visit your girlfriend's family in Taiwan. And during a second visit, with everyone's consents, you ask for permission of getting married. After you receive the marriage certificate, you petition and sponsor for her green card. Go to USCIS web site to get the detail.

Keychain from Taiwan?
Keychain from Taiwan?
My friend, an exchange student from Taiwan, gave me a keychain from her country today. It looks like some type of lion holding a sword in it's mouth. It has a giant yellow beard and black eyebrows with yellow spots on them. There is a yin yang on it's forehead. On the back there is another yin yang with some symbols around it. Does anybody know what this thing is? Here is the front: http://i676.photobucket.com/albums/vv121/Thumdarr/DSC02967.jpg Here's the back: http://i676.photobucket.com/albums/vv121/Thumdarr/DSC02968.jpg

Chinese lions are usually used for guardian spirits, or good luck. So it could be either a good luck charm that she bought before coming to give out as a gift, or it could be just a random charm that she liked or thought was good to represent Taiwan. >Edit< I am going to ask some of my friends what they significance of this particular lion is, because as I have learned there are different meanings to the different styles. Until then the characters on it mean Front: 王 = wáng -> king; monarch Back: 安 = Än -> peaceful; at ease; undisturbed; tranquil; calm æ°¸ = yÇ’ng -> everlasting; forever 康 = kÄng -> well-being; health ä¿ = bÇŽo -> protect; defend In my opinion it seems to be a guardian charm for someone who is traveling, but I am not going to say that is what this one. Just don't read too much in to the gift its self Taiwanese love to give gifts to people who help them, especially exchange students. I know this from experience working with my universities Intensive English Program, and meeting several large groups of Taiwanese students.

I'm guessing that what you have is a "Foo Dog"; it's half lion and half dragon. They are refered to as "Shi" (pronounced "shuhr") in Chinese, and are intended to ward off evil spirits. http://www.tattoosymbol.com/gallery/foo-dog-tattoo.html http://www.bugei.com/product_1180_detailed.htm They are associated with swords, but I haven't yet seen one depicted with a sword in its mouth. Now... Go! And, get your snowglobe repaired quickly. hahaha

Why does the P.R. of China claim Taiwan to be part of there Empire?
Why does the P.R. of China claim Taiwan to be part of there Empire?
I have a Chinese female student in my class, shes nasty to the Taiwanese student. The Chiense student claims Taiwan is not independent, what a silly girl. She says that the CCP defeated the KMT. If the KMT were really defeated they would not had been able to make it to Taiwan. She says that the KMT government shouldn't really there, but the KMT where in control of China before the CPP. How can I show her that the CCP are the ones who illegally took over the mainland or should I just sent her to the school councillor recommending psychiatric treatment.

I remember how in Asian Studies, the teacher predicted that Taiwan would be invaded before the Olympic games. Obviously because the government regime wants more power.

The fact that Taiwan has always been `China`´s territory is undeniable, but it´s debatable on the `form of China` it should be to incorporate Taiwan with the Mainland. Many Chinese in the Mainland prefer KMT rule over CCP but seems quite impossible to bring that to reality in anytime soon.

From your description, I surmise that the young lady has "some issues" concerning her homeland. Young minds are easily swayed by the propaganda generated by powerful authoritarian regimes such as that found in China. It may take years of intense therapy for her to come to grips with having been programmed to dominate and abuse the rights of others, and the discovery that reality doesn't match her belief system. She may just end up in a mental ward for life, or in jail as an anti-social psychopath.

The PRC claims Taiwan because their government is ignorant and self-centered. As for your student... She's just another victim of CPC propaganda. Poor thing. @zerious - Whether or not Taiwan has "always been China's territory" is not only deniable, such a claim is contrary to well-established facts. Perhaps you've forgotten that the Japanese held Taiwan for 50 years, and the aboriginals owned it for about 5,000 years before the Chinese showed up. Thanks for your support of the ROC.

You should educate her like the way Mao Ze Dung used. A re-education camp in a discrete place with all the educational equipments you need, such as electric wires connected to a car battery, a hanging rope with a large basin underneath filled with water and live piranhas inside, some hot coals and iron brand, leather whips, a large barefoot walkway filled with salt and broken glasses. Student like her will need the best education, Mao Ze Dung proved that this will work, so you must apply the same method and principles as Mao did.

I want to go to University in Taiwan...How do I do it???
I want to go to University in Taiwan...How do I do it???
I was an exchange student to Taiwan for over 10 months and I have learned the language (Mandarin Chinese) to an extent to which I could live on my own in Taiwan. But my Chinese isn't good enough to sit in a classroom and actually learn every single thing that's said. I would like my Chinese to get to the point of which I will be able to take full classes in Chinese. But first I'll have to find a University in Taiwan that will take me. I want to do my entire University career in Taiwan. I will have to take all my classes in English of course. So my question is, Where can I find a College that will teach in English? I don't want to go just to learn Chinese. Of course I'll want to perfect my Chinese but I'll have to actually take all of the normal college courses first. I don't want to just spend a single year learning just the language abroad...I want to spend my entire career and life abroad!!! Which University can I go to??? I also don't even know where to go to ask. I'm in my senior year of high school and running out of time. I need to find a place to go (in Taiwan) NOW!!!

Hello, Go check the link of Ministry of Education website below. You could find some useful information and you may email them with your question as well: http://english.moe.gov.tw In addition, the Mandarin Training Center of National Taiwan Normal University (NTNU) is offering programs which dedicated to the teaching of Chinese culture and Chinese as a second language. All levels of standard and Classical Chinese as well as Chinese culture are taught there. A friend of my sister took a summer course there few years ago, and I remember that he enjoyed it a lot. Check this link below: http://mtc.ntnu.edu.tw/indexe.html Good luck!
