00:01:09,250 --> 00:01:12,160 that way 17 00:01:09,970 --> 00:01:13,990 during the time of Chairman Mao the 18 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,789 Communists defeated Chinese nationalists 19 00:01:13,990 --> 00:01:18,880 who then fled to the island of Taiwan 20 00:01:15,790 --> 00:01:21,400 and took over Taiwan has since become a 21 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:24,280 stable democracy but China views it as a 22 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:26,259 renegade province and wants it back no 23 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:29,890 major nation recognizes Taiwan as a 24 00:01:26,259 --> 00:01:37,420 separate country rock

demonstrators 31 00:01:51,729 --> 00:01:57,140 were massacred in 1989 guards repeatedly 32 00:01:54,759 --> 00:01:59,960 tried to stop us filming 33 00:01:57,140 --> 00:02:02,360 or they left us a film obviously there's 34 00:01:59,960 --> 00:02:04,100 still a lot of sensitivity about what 35 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:07,850 goes on in Tiananmen Square because of 36 00:02:04,100 --> 00:02:10,609 so say it's past history horn honking 37 00:02:07,850 --> 00:02:13,640 yeah 20 to 9:00 in the morning 38 00:02:10,610 --> 00:02:16,820 even though sleep this early you see is 39 00:02:13,640 -->

00:02:23,780 --> 00:02:28,460 an economic superpower communists still 43 00:02:26,330 --> 00:02:36,190 retain control and the country remains 44 00:02:28,460 --> 00:02:40,850 far from democratic now look at this 45 00:02:36,190 --> 00:02:43,940 Beijing 2008 while China is hosting the 46 00:02:40,850 --> 00:02:45,799 Olympics in 2008 Taiwanese politicians 47 00:02:43,940 --> 00:02:48,709 have suggested they sever all remaining 48 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:50,360 ties with Beijing that year but China 49 00:02:48,709 --> 00:02:52,360 warns it will attack its renegade 50 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:55,990 province if it tries to break away 51 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,990 regardless of the Olympics 52 00:02:58,540 --> 00:03:01,940 Lisa just come to look at our permit 53 00:03:00,950 --> 00:03:04,730 which might be a bit of a problem 54 00:03:01,940 --> 00:03:06,739 because we've passed the time at which 55 00:03:04,730 --> 00:03:12,079 we're supposed to be filming so maybe we 56 00:03:06,739 --> 00:03:14,120 I think we should politely leave China 57 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:16,549 wants Taiwan back and has said it will 58 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:18,319 use force if necessary its army the 59 00:03:16,549 --> 00:03:20,330 largest in the world has been developing 60 00:03:18,319 --> 00:03:22,488 advanced weapons in recent years to take 61 00:03:20,330 --> 00:03:25,099 on the sophisticated Taiwanese military 62 00:03:22,489 --> 00:03:27,860 and as I discovered it's still hiring 63 00:03:25,099 --> 00:03:30,589 this is recruitment for the army yes 64 00:03:27,860 --> 00:03:35,480 life and it's the performance here 65 00:03:30,590 --> 00:03:37,110 recruiting for the army as well so I can 66 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:47,238 see all the army officers yeah 67

Chinese from here for 20 years it 150 00:08:42,070 --> 00:08:46,000 led to a bizarre agreement where each 151 00:08:44,169 --> 00:08:50,529 side shelled the other on alternate days 152 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:52,500 and they both took Sunday off you can 153 00:08:50,529 --> 00:08:56,649 see these are the artillery shells 154 00:08:52,500 --> 00:08:58,390 that's been fired by the Chinese not all

were around a million fired from China 164 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,980 and each shell can make about sixty 165 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:40,069 knives so we can make another sixty 166 00:09:36,980 -->

built in the style of 417 00:24:19,669 --> 00:24:24,529 how the original inhabitants of Taiwan 418 00:24:21,979 --> 00:24:27,979 used to live before the Chinese came 419 00:24:24,529 --> 00:24:29,239 over from the mainland in the 1940s but 420 00:24:27,979 --> 00:24:31,309 it appears to be a little bit more like 421 00:24:29,239 --> 00:24:39,259 a theme park than a cultural heritage 422 00:24:31,309 --> 00:24:41,479 attraction it seems to provide evidence 423 00:24:39,259 --> 00:24:49,879 that the Taiwanese aboriginals had quite 424 00:24:41,479 --> 00:24:51,649 an advanced space program the native 425 00:24:49,879 --> 00:24:53,658 inhabitants of Taiwan were treated 426 00:24:51,649 --> 00:24:55,819 appallingly by the Chinese nationalists 427 00:24:53,659 --> 00:24:57,139 who retreated to the island after being 428 00:24:55,819 --> 00:25:00,799 defeated on the mainland by the 429 00:24:57,139 --> 00:25:02,508 Communists marginalized for decades many 430 00:25:00,799 -->
