The blog "The Bare Necessities" comes from the desire of the undersigned to create a meeting place for all those interested to get information or discuss issues relevant to the Taiwan Strait, well-defined geographical area since the end of World War II is one of the main hotspots of Asia.
lover and scholar of international politics, for years I have focused my attention on issues interent 's Far East and, therefore, I can say that the Taiwan Strait merits special attention.
Clearly, the subject of the blog is not only the passage of water between the two sides of the earth (The island of Taiwan and the coasts of Fujian ), but every event that, in a somehow, is connected to historical and political evolution of the island once known by the name of Ilha Formosa, not coincidentally, the subtitle of the blog is " talk about Taiwan and its .
The focus is naturally on the island, but there are references to other realities of the continent or the planet. Provided, of course, all this does not deviate too much from the Strait.
Why it was decided to call it essential ? Leveraging a popular word game, it was intended to highlight the importance of the geographical area in question. And 'in fact still on the debate between those who want an internationally recognized independent Taiwan, who considers it to all intents and purposes a province of China and finally those who prefer to maintain the current " Status Quo" . Although this site does not come to a conclusion (or even is the aim of the blog), I believe that the adjective "essential" is more precisely to define that ap the question of the Straits.
Finally, it can be said that within the blog will be written, in fact, the bare essentials. No digressions: only Taiwan.
