STORYLINE
Tens of thousands of opposition supporters chanted slogans in a protest march through Taipei on Saturday against a visit by a senior Chinese envoy, saying the trip was part of Chinese efforts to assert control over the self-ruled island.
The protesters, many wearing T-shirts emblazoned with the slogan Defend Taiwan, marched under large banners saying Against one-China Common Market and Against Hurting our Sovereignty.
They also aimed their protest at Taiwan's President Ma Ying-jeou, criticising him for making what they claim are too many concessions and moving too fast on relaxing controls on trade and investment with China.
The rally, organised by the Democratic Progressive Party, presented the biggest challenge yet to Ma's efforts to overturn predecessor Chen Shui-bian's strident anti-China platform and seek better ties with the mainland since he took office in May.
Chen joined Saturday's march, which snaked for several miles (kilometres) through Taipei.
Under Ma's initiative, Taiwan and China resumed talks in June following a hiatus of almost ten years.
The second round of high-level talks will be held in Taipei early in November by Chen Yunlin, chairman of China's semi-official Association for Relations across the Taiwan Strait, and his Taiwanese counterpart Chiang Pin-kung.
But not all Taiwanese welcomed Chen Yunlin's visit which they made clear during the protest.
Taiwanese officials say when the Chinese envoy visits, discussions will be limited to economic issues, including launching direct cargo flights and expanding the current weekend passenger flights to daily services.
The two sides will also discuss the need to enhance food safety following a tainted milk scandal in China, officials say.
On Friday Ma told local reporters the upcoming talks will highlight the fact that Taiwan and China are two equals.
We will safeguard Taiwan's interests and we will see to it that Taiwan's sovereignty or dignity will not be harmed, Ma was quoted as saying.
China and Taiwan split after the civil war in 1949, but Beijing continues to claim the island as part of its territory and has threatened to attack if Taiwan moves to formalise its independence.

China Has 625,000 Potential Wukans, Foreign Media Says

The Wukan protests, attracting global attention,
are seemingly calming down.
Zhu Mingguo, Guangdong's deputy secretary of the CCP
(Chinese Communist Party) admitted,
the enraged masses showed what are they capable of.
New York Times reported that up to 60% of China's villages
suffer of similar local officials' injustice like Wukan.
And that China has at least 625,000 potential
Wukan villages.
On December 26, at a conference on public management,
Zhu Mingguo gave atypical for CCP leader speech.
Zhu said some cadres are used to issuing orders and have
tried every mean to put off solving the civilians' petitions...
After the public has been angered, you become aware
what its strength is, CCP' Guangdong deputy secretary said.
Zhu mentioned the recent mass protests that occurred
in Guxiang town, in Dadun village and in Wukan village.
He gave the example of an apple rotten to the core,
but still having a red skin on the outside.
Once the surface of the skin cracks,
the mess cannot be easily cleaned up.
Wen Zhao (expert on China issues): CCP' regime still fears
that many villagers are ready to defend themselves to death.
That'll produce a huge impact. So firstly, its efforts are
to stabilize the situation with the villagers.
As to other mass protests that follow Wukan but haven't
had a big impact, the regime will suppress them ASAP.
Commentator Li Tianxiao said, just a week ago the CCP still
brutally deployed forces, but swiftly replaced them with smiles.
Many people see this as CCP's unprecedented concession.
In fact, the CCP was compelled by the situation.
It feared that the situation will take even more
unfavorable direction.
Plus, there were dozens of international media' journalists
in Wukan, reporting the true development of the protests.
In such a situation, the CCP was forced to give up.
On December 18, a mass protest broke out in Daimei Village,
Shantou City, where thousands of villagers went on the streets.
On December 20, ~10,000 villagers in Haimen town, Shantou,
protested against authorities' construction of 2nd power plant.
The Haimen mass protest
is still going on at the moment.
Li Tianxiao comments, currently the CCP might put on hold
any efforts for Wukan, and then it'll crush them one by one.
Sun Wenguang (retired professor of Shandong University):
It is very likely to do so.
It may also apply Tai Chi techniques with protesters,
pushing them back and forth and leaving it unsettled finally.
Both are possible. But I think people should unify and not relax.
I believe persistence to the end will produce a better result.
New York Times reveals, there are at least 625,000 villages
across China, suffering from Wukan-like officials' injustice.
However, such corrupt local authorities is hard to eradicate,
due to entangled interests and issues.
Observers said, reports state, Wukan' protests highlight local
authorities' systemic flaws and there will be a housecleaning.
The problem is, almost nobody benefits from housecleaning,
from the village leaders or township to the county officials.
Edward Friedman, expert on China issues at University
of Wisconsin-Madison, says land sale is a big money source.
CCP officials at all levels have seen their superiors benefit
from it, thus everyone wants to follow suit for a better life.
Pu Fei, expert on China policies, points out that a complete
resolution of Wukan's event requires the authorities to issue a sound policy on land requisition.
Pu Fei thinks numerous potential Wukan protests will emerge
if the authorities leave the land reform untouched.
Apple Daily columnist Li Ping said, Wukan protest
is a typical act of land rights' defending in today's China.
Conflicts about environmental protection, tax-resistance,
anti-violence, ethnic injustice, etc., emerged frequently during the nine-year's of Hu' and Wen's reign.
While filled with slogans of harmonious society,
China's mass protests only grow in number and intensity.

SUMMARY
=======
Guizhou (贵州; alternately Kweichow), is a landlocked province in Southwest China. Its capital and largest city is Guiyang, in the central part of the province. Guizhou borders the autonomous region of Guangxi to the south, Yunnan to the west, Sichuan to the northwest, the municipality of Chongqing to the north, and Hunan to the east. The population of Guizhou stands at 34 million, ranking 19th among the provinces in China.
Dian Kingdom, which inhabited the present-day area of Guizhou, was annexed by the Han dynasty in 106 BC. Guizhou was formally made a province in 1413 during the Ming dynasty. After the overthrow of the Qing in 1911 and following the Chinese Civil War, the Communist Party of China took refuge in Guizhou during the Long March between 1934 and 1935. After the establishment of the People's Republic of China, Mao Zedong promoted the relocation of heavy industry into inland provinces such as Guizhou, to better protect them from Soviet and American attacks.
Compared to other provinces of China, Guizhou has not benefited substantially from the Chinese economic reform. Guizhou is rich in natural cultural and environmental resources. Its natural industry includes timber and forestry, and the energy and mining industries constitute an important part of its economy. Notwithstanding, Guizhou is considered a relatively poor and economically undeveloped province, with the third-lowest GDP per capita in China, ahead of Gansu neighboring Yunnan. However, it is also one of China's fastest-growing economies. The Chinese government is looking to develop Guizhou as a data hub.Guizhou is a mountainous province, although its higher altitudes are in the west and centre. It lies at the eastern end of the Yungui Plateau. Demographically, it is one of China's most diverse provinces. Minority groups account for more than 37% of the population, including sizable populations of the Miao, Bouyei, Dong, Tujia and Yi peoples, who speak languages distinct from Chinese. The main language spoken in Guizhou is Southwestern Mandarin, a variety of Mandarin.
