Book Title: Taiwan Disaster - Win Over Taiwan Without a Battle in 2010
Author: Yuan Hongbing
Mr. Yuan, a famous Chinese writer in exile, was born in Inner Mongolia in 1952. As a teen-ager during the Cultural Revolution that began in 1966, he witnessed tragedy experienced by his people as a result of Chinese Communist persecution. Mr.Yuan consequently vowed to write about what the Mongolians had suffered and thus began his journey on the difficult path of an underground writer.
After completing his graduate study at Beijing University’s Law School, Mr. Yuan was invited to teach at the school, and then appointed to lead the research office of Procedural Law. To promote democracy and criticize extreme leftist thought, he established organizations and published books and magazines. Eventually, for his dissident views and activities, he was arrested by the Chinese government and banished to Guizhou in 1994. In 2003, he established the Law School of the Guizhou Normal University and was appointed its Dean. In 2004 taking advantage of the opportunity of heading a delegation visiting Australia, he applied to the Australian government for political asylum and has since remained in exile. He has published more than ten books in literature and in law.
Taiwan Disaster was published in November, 2009. It was based on three documents of action programs that came out of an expanded politburo meeting in June 2008. These documents provide strategic guidelines to all of China’s government departments on the way to annex Taiwan without a war by 2012. With the book, Yuan strives to warn Taiwan of Beijing’s strategy and detailed tactics for taking over Taiwan. In addition, he has offered Taiwan suggestions to counter Beijing’s measures.

Eric Chang & Dog G |
| Topic: |
The Current Issues Taiwan is Facing |
| Place: |
TACC Auditorium |
| Eric Chang is an inspiring 2nd generation Taiwanese American born in the US (or an "ABT" - America-Born Taiwanese) who has traveled to Taiwan more than 10 years ago in search of his root while pursuing his PhD in Taiwan. He can be spotted in countless democratic movement demonstrations. He was one of the leaders for the Wild Strawberries in Taiwan. His dedication for standing up and speaking out for the social injustice and corruption in Taiwan as an "ABT" has garnered him a large following on the island nation. In an interview with FTV, he said, "...Young people in Taiwan have to stand up and fight for your rights. Taiwan is now a relatively democratic country, but have 'YOU' thought about why it is so democratic? And how much sacrifice was made?" His willingness to speak up and fight for the rights of Taiwanese people and Taiwan can be witnessed by one of his many famous demonstration of PRC officials who refuse to recognize Taiwan's independence and continues to set foot in Taiwan.
Although Eric is just one of many Taiwanese Americans in Taiwan presently, his action and his unwavering pursuit of equality, justice, liberty and full democracy in Taiwan will continue to inspire and garner support from young Taiwanese in Taiwan and many more who care about the future of this island nation.
Big G, aka Dog G, is the first TIME Magazine documented Taiwanese hip-hop artist. Taking an excerpt from the page of TIME , March 15, 2004 issue, it stated, "The issue of Taiwan's identity has even infused the island's pop culture. In a studio-cum-hip-hop clothing store in the southern city of Tainan, Tseng Kuan-jung, alias Dog G, 25, writes and records pro-Taiwan rap....Dog G was a struggling musician until he penned "Taiwan Song" in which he raps not in Mandarin but in Taiwanese: 'Those without the fear of losing, they are the true spirit of Taiwan; those who don't agree, get out!' Dog G, whose best selling single told listeners to 'act Taiwanese, speak Taiwanese, and to stand up and proclaim they are Taiwanese!' says he wrote that song because he wanted people 'to stop being ashamed of being Taiwanese.'
Under the new pro-China regime, Dog G has continued to write and rap against social injustice, government corruption, and the dangerous games that current Taiwanese government is playing with China, i.e. ECFA. His music and his pro-Taiwan style has inspired many other Taiwanese hip-hop and rap performers in Taiwan writing and singing about this beautiful island nation called Taiwan.
