Crossroads:
Government, Culture and the People
One of the
idea mentioned in Caroline Valverde’s article “Crossroads” mentions a culture
and community dividing under the pressure of differing political ideals. This is not only prevalent in the Vietnamese
community, but also in other Asian and Asian American communities. For example, the Chinese community both in
America and in their respective countries suffer from the same problems, in
which citizens and immigrants from Mainland China and Taiwan, despite both
groups begin ethnically Chinese, are sometimes unable to overcome their
differences as a result of their different histories and political systems. As a result, Cross-Strait Relations have been
a dominating factor in Chinese politics in the past Thirty Years.
