100 Miles Away, A World Apart

What is one place on Earth that is more authentically Chinese than China Many would argue its Taiwan. The island of Taiwan sits off the coast of Mainland China. Taiwan and China share the same ethnicity, same culture, same history, and same language. But theres one very big difference: since 1949, China has been ruled by the Chinese Communist Party whereas Taiwan is now a democracy. That one difference has caused these two places, situated a mere 100 miles from each other, to seem like two different worlds. There is no greater example of this difference than with the treatment of Falun Gong.
