Until recently, these descendents of those Chinese Nationalists who fled to Burma and Thailand during the civil war had one chance of becoming citizens-by going to Taiwan to become citizens of the "Republic of China on Taiwan." As long as any of these people could get to Taiwan, they were welcomed. But if the governments of Myanmar and Thailand did not recognize them, how could these Chinese refugees get passports? More often than not, these Chinese refugees had to steal or buy forged Burmese or Thai passports just to get into Taiwan. Once in Taiwan it was possible to secure an identity card and then citizenship.

Over the next seven-plus months, the foreign policy debate between presidential candidates George W. Bush and John Kerry will focus on such problem nations as Iraq, Iran and North Korea. They are important; Iraq because it is the key to democratic reform in the Arab world; Iran and North Korea because of their unclear nuclear pretensions. But events of recent days, namely the election results in Russia and Taiwan, suggest that once the next president assumes office, Russia and China will loom large among his foreign policy challenges.
