Kevin in Pudong, Shanghai’s attempt at recreating Singapore’s CBD, presents a heavily hyphenated translation of a Paul Lin article in defense of spli—sm.:
China recently unveiled its “Anti-Se—-ion Law.” To tell you the truth, when we talk about unification or division, both are developments “under heaven,” just as in the opening lines of the “Romance of the Three Kingdoms”: “the world under heaven, after a long period of division, tends to unite; while after a long period of union, it tends to divide.” Thus, there is really no use in striving to attain either. So what good could possibly come of this Anti-Secession Law, which is technically a call to war? In fact, an overview of Chinese history has led me to believe that the division of China wouldn’t be such a bad thing after all.
