And good luck to you, too. It will probably help to follow and get into general discussions. You will not be the only person from China using the site like that.

You are using a word I'm not familar with to describe the government of China. Can you explain "nomocracy"?

Roger,"no mo" democracy are the cadres that oversee Tibet and Formosa

"Hundreds of thousands of people have marched through the Taiwanese capital, Taipei, protesting against China's anti-secession law.

The law, passed earlier this month allows China to use "non-peaceful" means to stop any move by the island towards independence.

Protesters sang and carried banners proclaiming peace and democracy at a rally outside the presidential palace.

Beijing sees Taiwan as a breakaway province and claims territorial rights."

Jshowa- Welcome to A2K! Very Happy

A better way to write the sentence that I quoted is:

I am a newcomer and want to improve my English.

Beat me to it, Phoenix, I was going to say the same thing.

But it's interesting - or annoying - because promote is indeed a synonym for advance, and one of its definitions I found is "To contribute to the progress or growth of; further." So it's less a matter of "improper" word choice than it is just another ridiculous English subtlety that you can't really learn outside of being fluent.

Trying to learn German right now, and it's amazing to me how English is in fact harder than German; we just take for granted all the things (like the above) we've picked up along the way.

I want to know your standpoint of the breakaway of Taiwan of China,and do you back up PRC or Taiwan?or being neutral?

The situation and the truth is that Taiwan is a part of China for many years and yet a part of China by now.If the government of Taiwan want to be independent neglecting the Chinese's feelings,it will become a war.

I looked for the two words in my dictionary. I got o know the word “improve” is better ,in my opinion.
panzade
thank you too ,I try to join yours’ (can I use this sentence?)
panzade and maxbright
yeah ,your give a hardy question . Taiwan is a part of China . It is right . But,the chinese mainland is also a part of China. So , in my mind ,China is not only a country or a body politic, but aslo a people and the nation.
Aslo there are two governments in the land of china. But the people , who rules by different governments ,has the same ancestor and culture.
Yes , “against China's anti-secession law” is bad news for me ,not in polity but in legal theory. If some local government wanted to break away China , not only Taiwan, he should be punished. But the law just points to the Taiwan.



All thanks for you warm welcome .
