Chinese Tourists in Taiwan

Video Title :	Chinese Tourists in Taiwan
Description :	WONG: Taiwan marks the historic arrival of hundreds of visitors from China. Taipei has lifted restrictions on Chinese travelers arriving by ship. Here's more on the story. STORY: A record 790 Chinese tourists arrived on Monday in Taiwan. This is just a glimpse of what the island's flagging service sector would see if Beijing and Taipei ease political tensions and sign a broader travel agreement. This month the cabinet passed a rule allowing Chinese tourists to come from ports outside mainland China. Monday's tourists came from a massive luxury ocean liner that set out from Hong Kong. They were greeted with red carpets leading to a fleet of sightseeing buses. The Chinese tourists are scheduled to see major attractions in Taiwan. [Chinese Tourist]: "The National Palace Museum, the Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall, but there's no Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall anymore." While the ocean liner may bring in economic opportunities, the trip was not smooth for everyone. Tourists on board complained about feeling discriminated on the ship. [Chinese Tourist]: "It was unbearable, we're yellow-skinned is that why we deserve to be yelled at by white people? I felt discriminated, it was very uncomfortable being yelled at." The change to tourism laws came just before the Lunar New Year says a spokeswoman for the Taiwan government's Mainland Affairs Council. The two sides have negotiated an agreement that would allow as many as 1,000 Chinese tourists a day and open direct weekend charter flights. It would be a boon to the island's flagging service sector. Analysts estimate opening Taiwan to Chinese tourists could provide a boost for the island's relatively small international travel industry.

If nose-picking was an Olympic sport Taiwanese could tie Chinese for the Gold medal.

taiwaness hate the Chinese and feel chinese are dirty.

Republic of China,(Taiwan) is the predecessor of the old republic but most of the Chinese that lived in the old republic is now in the PRC. The Chinese people are both sides mainland and Taiwan should reconciliate because they are of the same people with the same heritage, language, cultural and tradition.
