Defiant Taiwan moving away from China_我的网站

A |     近日，社交媒体上传出一段视频，一名男子在地铁上公然抽电子烟，神态怪异，疑似嗑药。    Taipei, Oct 10 (UNI) Taiwan on Monday marked the "Double Ten" or 10 October, the self-ruled island's national day.

The annual celebration is especially significant this year -- tensions with Beijing, which claims Taiwan as its territory, are at an all-time high, reports BBC.

China's leader Xi Jinping, who has been particularly vocal about "re-unification", is set to get a third term at a historic Communist Party meeting next week.

Ironically, 10 October has nothing to do with Taiwan or any moment in its history. It, in fact, marks the day in 1911 when an uprising began in Wuchang in central China that eventually led to the collapse of the last imperial dynasty -- and the establishment of the Republic of China.

So why is Taiwan celebrating the day? Because the island's official name is still The Republic of China on Taiwan. The flags flying across Taipei today are still of the white star on a blue and red background.

It is a peculiar legacy of the Chinese civil war. In 1949, the defeated nationalist regime of Chiang Kai-shek fled across the Taiwan strait to Taipei. For decades Chiang held Taiwan in an iron grip, while continuing to proclaim his regime "the true democratic government of Free China", the BBC reported.

Today all of this seems slightly absurd -- and for so many Taiwanese, especially the younger generation, it is.

Opinion polls this year suggest that 70to 80 per cent of people here now consider themselves "Taiwanese". That is a significant increase from a decade ago, when around half the population still said they were "Chinese".

This trend has not gone unnoticed in Beijing, and it is retaliating, the report said.

Around half of the island's population now supports formal independence, even under threat of attack from China. A poll last year showed 75 per cent of Taiwanese say they would fight a Chinese invasion.

UNI MR。视频显示，这名男子背靠车厢门，眼神迷离，在车门打开时，他因失去平衡几乎跌倒。

B | 因此不少网民认为，该男子可能因嗑药神志不清，才敢在地铁这种禁烟区公然抽电子烟。要知道在新加坡抽电子烟的犯法的，新加坡有许多禁烟区域，其中之一就是地铁。违规者最高可被罚款1000新币。更严重的是，电子烟在新加坡是违法的，根据烟草（广告与销售控制）法令，拥有、吸食或购买电子烟者，最高可被罚款2000新币。之前，就有许多在地铁上抽电子烟被抓的案例。

C | 此外，新加坡地铁上还禁止以下行为：吸烟（罚款500新币）携带易燃物品（罚款5000新币）饮食（罚款500新币）携带榴莲上车厢请大家多加留意以上地铁规则，以免被罚了还浑然不知。TH丨编辑HQ丨编审SGfollowsall丨来源SGfollowsall丨图源。
