The Taiwan issue, the origin of which dates back to 1949 when the KMT retreated to Taiwan under the leadership of Chiang Kai-Shek, is still one of the most complex political conundrums in the East Asian region. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of this issue by clarifying the positions and policies of Beijing, Washington and Taipei. This paper shows that all three governments favor the status quo in the short run, but each has a different vision of the future, which makes this issue almost unsolvable. The Chinese leadership has long considered unification to be an inalienable policy. Now that great power policy is China's foremost priority, however, China does not emphasize unification as the most urgent issue on its plate. China is now seeking the cooperation of the U.S. in order to prevent Taiwan from declaring independence. The U.S., a key buffer between mainland China and Taiwan, is now more politically and economically interdependent with China than ever before, but still asserts that the consensus of the Taiwanese people is a prerequisite for the resolution of the Taiwan issue. Trying not to be directly involved, the US is seeking to maintain the status quo. Taiwan faces a paradoxical relationship with China. Both major parties in Taiwan, the DPP and the KMT, are caught in the same dilemma: whether to strengthen economic ties with China or to seek Taiwanese political independence.

On the 22nd of October 2001, almost exactly three years ago, I delivered a presentation at Kwansei Gakuin University on the "Implications and effects of the 9/11 disaster". This may be an appropriate time to analyse and assess how the world has changed since that shocking event occurred.

Language teachers, called upon to teach both their cultures and their native languages, often find topics relating to their cultures the more challenging. In this article I explore what I learned through teaching these courses for many years. I see a non-ideological approach as more useful and offer encouragement to broaden the scope of content for college students in Japan. For my course The Black American Experience, I outline my goal for presenting some of the clashing value systems at the root of the race relations conflict in America. I also discuss the nature of ideologies and cultures as a way to put historical content into perspective.
