Paul Adams Oh look, a proud Taiwanese that adopted an Anglo surname. I bet your ancestors are proud.
"As long as they leave behind the money and land they stole from the Taiwanese when they invaded"
You mean when the ROC Chinese of KMT party invaded the ROC Chinese that were on ROC territory called Taiwan? Makes sense.
In the past 350 years, Taiwan was part of China for about 300 years. The West has called "China" China ever since ancient times, regardless of which Dynasty was ruling "China". Its the longest continuing civilisation since ancient time so dont give me this "but Taiwan doesnt belong to China" bullshit. The Chinese built Taiwan island to be what it has become today. Whether it was the ethnic Han Chinese that built the island, or through Chinese leadership under Qing and ROC. It was built by the Chinese for their Chinese descendents. Period.
"Taiwan is already de facto independent. Our own government, passports, money, army, etc, etc"
Taiwan was never independent ever since the beginning of times. EVER. It was either controlled by Qing, Japan, or Republic of CHINA. Taiwan was just a small part of the respective states.
And Taiwan doesnt have its own military. Get your facts right. China's ONLY "National" military is in Taiwan. PLA serves the CCP, whereas ROC serves the "country"(China). So no, "Taiwan" doesnt have its own military; the military of Republic of China is in Taiwan. Theres a difference. ROC can reclaim its territory back, whereas Taiwan cannot. Taiwan is just an island administered by ROC.
PRC and ROC both claim to be the legitimate government of China. Now, both agreed to be part of "one China" under the "One China Policy".
