Truth Untold
As I mentioned in Is Taiwan a Nation, Taiwan is actually an Independent nation.
Take a look at the UN website. Member states: China (24 October 1945). However, we know People's Republic of China was established in October 1st, 1949. And Republic of Chian (R.O.C. known as Taiwan) was established in January 1st, 1912. What does it mean?
It means if we, Taiwan, still want to call ourselves ROC, we admit that Taiwan is a part of Chian since they succeeded to the membership in UN. It would be legal to conquer Taiwan. Since WE ARE NOT A PART OF CHINA, it is necessary to modify the name of our nation. Meanwhile, people around the world know Taiwan more than ROC. So what are we waiting for?
Either historically or politically speaking, we will never be a part of China. As for Taiwanese history, I will post a short introduction as soon as possible.

Is is common for most people in Taiwan to think of Taiwan as being independent from China? I would think it is much easier for the younger people to think that way. Is it taught in your schools that Taiwan is an independent nation? Here in USA we strongly beleive in your right to be a free country.
nice blog!
:D
To caplondon,
Thanks for your comment. Actually we are not independent from china. We are always independeant since 1912. But China keeps stating that we are a part of them.
Cheers!!
