Taiwan & China

No, definately not PRC policy on the situation. After hearing Plawolf and other mainland chineese members go off about how Taiwan is a renegade, breakaway province that has go come back under control of PRC, well it makes even less sense.

That’s what I meant, sorry. Both want to reunite under their own regime 😎 .

Both countries want to reunite but under a different regime.

I read a small news brief in the local paper today about the Chinese (PRC that is) not being happy about the new Taiwanese president’s speech. It mentioned something about them “not being assured” or something like that.

First off, does anyone know exactly what they weren’t “assured” about?

Secondly, why does China have to act so threatening toward such a small country as Taiwan? (Not that Taiwan can’t defend itself…..just by looking at the ROCAF you can tell they are very well equipped)

What’s the point of acting like the “big bully”, so to speak?

Why doesn’t Taiwan just declare independence? It’s quite clear Taiwan, despite sharing some cultural similarities with the PRC I’m sure, is nonetheless a different nation.

What does the PRC have to gain by acting the way they do?

Taiwan and China are the same! It is one country. They both say that, but the legitimate government is in……..? When in 1948 (?) the Chinese government fled to the Island of Taiwan nobody recognized the new Chinese “Communist” Government. And the government of Taiwan was recognized as the government of the whole of China, although they had no power. Then the western government changed there policy and recognized the Chinese government in Beijing as the legitimate government. So Taiwan is not a country in that sense. Both countries want to reunite but under a different regime. So it is not that strange that either China or Taiwan say it out loud and have that kind of rhetoric.

I say, why not have the people vote.. it’s the fairest way.

if a majority of the people vote Pro Mainland China..then China can say “hey, the people always wanted to stay with us”..

if a majority of the people vote independance, then we obviously know what they want.
