Description:

A wise man once said that a happy people is a people with an unexcited history. The Chinese are not a happy people. They have a long and exciting history. At one time China was powerful and its people were very proud. In recent years, because of political ideology and leadership, China is backward and desperate. After the cultural revolution, the recent student unrest, and the Tienanmen Square Massacre, the Chinese leaders have tried hard to get back on track. In the meantime, across the Taiwan Straits, Taiwan is drafting blueprints for the 21st century. Since the Civil War in 1949 China has been divided. The purpose of this course is to compare the conditions of Mainland China and Taiwan. Satisfies one intercultural requirement. Prerequisite: None Fees: None
