Title: Taiwan is NOT a part of China
Review: This textbook was co-written by Professor Phylllis Ni Zhang of Columbia University. Although the book is entitled David and Helen in China, Helen never steps foot in China. She's in Taiwan for both volumes of the textbook. The people in Columbia's language department are not stupid. This was not an oversight. They know that the Taiwan China issue is extremely sensitive, but they went with the title anyway. The dissemmination of propaganda by a language department is outrageous and completely inappropriate. I see this as a direct attack on Taiwan and people of Taiwanese decent. Had I known the contents of this textbook beforehand, I would not have purchased it. Most people are not as passionate as I, so if you have to buy it for a class, then buy it, but do not let the issue go untouched. Let your classmates know, let your teacher know, and let your department know that you will not stand for the subordination of Taiwan.
