Following a Taiwanese scholar who claimed in a submission that Taiwan and China belong to the same political entity... citing as evidence that the two were connected by a land bridge during the glacial period, the Tricontinental Institute, founded by Vijay Prashad, has now published a long article written by Zang Ruxing. Zang is the current Director of the International Department of the Taiwan Labor Party. This article, titled "The Taiwan Question: From Civil War to Foreign Intervention," is notable for many reasons, not the least of which is that it is fundamentally flawed from the very first paragraph.
Translation note: The title uses a play on Marx's famous dictum, 'History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce.' The Chinese original used '一團混沌' (a chaotic mess) instead of 'farce', which has been retained as a literal translation of the source text's specific phrasing.

Former Chinese Premier Zhu Rongji passed away on Wednesday (August 12). In an exclusive interview with VOA, renowned American China expert Kenneth Lieberthal, who served as a senior director for Asian affairs on the National Security Council during the Clinton administration and had numerous interactions with Zhu, stated that Zhu was 'one of the most impressive leaders' he had ever met—a highly talented, tough-minded, and pragmatic reformer. Lieberthal believes that by leading China's accession to the World Trade Organization and promoting market-oriented reforms, Zhu laid a vital foundation for China's subsequent economic growth; while some of the reforms and WTO commitments he pushed were later weakened or even reversed, Lieberthal argues this should not erase his profound influence on China's development and U.S.-China relations during his tenure.
Translation note: The Chinese term '奠基石' is translated as 'cornerstone.'
