Yet little changes. As a result, the peasant question is now threatening social stability and is potentially explosive in a way reminiscent of when Mao organized his revolution around peasant disaffection with the rural policies of the Nationalist government of Chiang Kai shek.

LONDON A great deal of water has flowed through the Taiwan Strait in the 70 years since the leader of China s Communists, Mao Zedong, met the leader of his nationalist opponents, Chiang Kai shek. So the recent meeting in Singapore between their heirs, President Xi Jinping of the People s Republic and his Taiwanese counterpart, Ma Ying jeou, could legitimately be described as historic.

Presenting himself and his Party as champions of democracy, Chen sought to create the impression among Taiwan s voters that their freedom would perish in the hands of the Kuomintang (KMT) or any party other than his own. But in fact, it was the late President Chiang Ching kuo, the son of Generalissimo Chiang Kai shek, who instituted the unprecedented democratic reforms that paved the way for the eventual electoral triumph of Chen s formerly banned DPP.

In particular, we appreciate the activities of the Special Envoy of the Secretary General, Kai Eide.

The Council began its consideration of the item and heard briefings by Mr. Kai Eide and by Mr. Jessen Petersen.

Indeed, as was also noted by Ambassador Kai Eide in his recent report, the intimidation of witnesses is a grave problem in Kosovo.

Later when this material was translated into a common European language, which is to say Latin, they simply replaced the Greek Kai with the Latin X.

So by convention, they created a rule in which they borrowed the CK sound, ck sound, from the classical Greek in the form of the letter Kai.

Ambassador Kai Eide first brought this to the Council's attention in his report of August 2004 (S 2004 932, annex I, enclosure), and we look forward to action beginning on that soon.

As China becomes more active in artificial intelligence, the U.S. should double the amount it spends on research in the field, says investor and AI practitioner Kai Fu Lee, who has worked for Google, Microsoft and Apple.

I think it is worth recalling what Ambassador Kai Eide noted in his comprehensive report (S 2004 932, annex I, enclosure) of one year ago we are moving to a standards with status approach, which in our opinion remains realistic and adequate.

China News Service Beijing December 17 wire (Reporter Gao Kai) Heritage makes the world resplendent The opening ceremony of the 2016 International Summit for the Authentication, Restoration and Protection of Ancient Chinese Calligraphy and Painting was held at Renmin University of China on December 17.

His father, Xi Zhongxun, was one of the top leaders of the Communist revolution. A guerilla leader in the war against Japan, he helped to defeat Chiang Kai shek s Nationalists in China s civil war, became a member of the Central Committee, and then chief of propaganda, Vice Premier, and Governor of Guangdong.

11.15 a.m. Embargoed briefing on the World Investment Report 2005 by Mr. Georg Kell, Executive Head of the Global Compact and Mr. Kai Hammerich, Director General of Invest in Sweden and President of the World Association of Investment Promotion Agencies Please note that the press conference is embargoed until 1 p.m., Thursday, 29 September 2005.

So, upon landing this was still at the old Hong Kong airport that's Kai Tak, when it was smack in the middle of the city I thought, If I see something good, I'm going to have a great time here in my two weeks. And if I see something negative, I'm going to be miserable, indeed.

I have the honour to inform you that your letter dated 27 May 2005 (S 2005 364), in which you stated your intention to appoint Mr. Kai Eide as your Special Envoy to undertake a comprehensive review of Kosovo, has been brought to the attention of the members of the Security Council, who have taken note of it.

China then in the third year of Mao Zedong s rule was not even invited to participate in the peace conference. Although Mao s communists had clearly won the civil war and secured control of mainland China, the conference organizers disagreed about which government Mao s People s Republic of China (PRC) in Beijing, or Chiang Kai shek s Republic of China (ROC) in Taipei truly represented China.

The President, with the consent of the Council, extended an invitation under rule 39 of the Council's provisional rules of procedure to Mr. Kai Eide, Special Envoy of the Secretary General for the comprehensive review of the situation in Kosovo, and Mr. Søren Jessen Petersen, Special Representative of the Secretary General and Head of the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo.

Following the consultations of the Security Council today on the implementation of standards by Kosovo's Provisional Institutions, and as indicated in my report to the Security Council on the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (S 2005 335 and Corr.1), it is my intention to appoint Ambassador Kai Eide, Permanent Representative of Norway to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, as my Special Envoy to undertake the comprehensive assessment.

Ever since Mao s Communists won the civil war (which the last meeting between the parties, in 1945, had been called to try to avert) and Chiang Kai shek s Kuomintang forces withdrew to Taiwan, relations between the two sides have smoldered without ever really catching fire. While there was no love lost between the United States and the Kuomintang leadership, the US gave Taiwan assurances of military protection, which deterred China from trying to unify the island with the mainland by force.
