So the CCP says that Taiwan belongs to them? Ok well the people of Taiwan say that Taiwan belongs to them. I don’t think you understand the history behind the civil war.

What confused you? Taiwan is Taiwan people's land and Taiwan is legally an island of China, be is ROC or PRC.

Think you are confusion good sir. Taiwan in a free and democratic country, independent of anyone in anything but name it’s self. Countries pay lip service to China on this issue so China can save face, all the while the west sniggers at Chinese ludicrous warnings.

Free bullshit, democratic fantasy in some's wet dreams. I was born in Taiwan, educated in the US so I know a thing or two about the island. Taiwan was not, is not and never will be a country. Hell, it was not even qualified as a province but administered as part of Fujian in our history. My family made huge sacrifices for ROC and it hurts my soul to say it didn't work out. But she is dead and ought to be put out of her misery. Taiwan is unfinished business and that's all. By the way, this small game called democratic election could be played in Taiwan because it is allowed by the US and China. KMT is a failure party from almost the beginning and DPP is a mini CCP but doesn't learn it's merits yet. Shame

The fact that you can even vote for the KMT or DDP speaks volumes to my point.

And China says Taiwan belongs to them.. which makes them the defacto owner of the islands in their view. Also these were given back to Japan to administer post ww2 to Japan from U.S. control. These claims were uncontested until they were viewed as valuable, then China suddenly wanted them.

Why would there need to be. They came under U.S. control during ww2 and were given back to the Japanese to control autonomously in 1972. There should be no dispute. Again,China automatically considers anything Tawian claims as its own. They become important because of the position they grant to control the economic zones in the waters around them. Japan has had control over them for decades. Them only becoming a dispute later says a lot
