Well if I sold my last house and then I went back to it and said to the people that are now living there to move out because it was once mine, I would be pretty stupid wouldn't I. As for the US, yes this country was invaded and taken from the natives several different countries, much like those same countries did in Asia. We took this country form the France and English if you want to put it like that. China has been invaded so many times that there is no national identity there at all. No one common language, no one common blood. I wonder how China would react if the Mongols game back and tried taking over all the land in China that once belonged to them. But that was then and this is now. Taiwan does not want to be part of China. Gee, China must not be that great of a place when your own people, as the Chinese mainlanders put, don't even want to be a part of you and are willing to risk military invasion.

Not that suppose your house's been sold but there are someone to ask you give up your house which is part of your own properties just because you are rich guy,you will do as he ask?
China was indeed invaded so many times but that has done nothing with our national identity,I'm Han people which is the majority Chinese,there are Mongols and Manchurians and many other minorities people living in China and all of us called Chinese.And all these Chinese peoples comes from a same ancestor if you know the history.Your funny address of language and blood only applies to your own country where lives different races people,White,Negro,Asian,etc...Besides,does this ununiformity of language and blood according to your country make you easily give up your land and any other of your interests.Taiwan call itself ROC,what does that 'C' stand for?The current separation is due to politics and ideology.If they dont want to be part of China why they call them ROC?
And I also didnt see you Americans were opposed to Israel(even now) when Jews went back to Jerusalem(just an instance,no offending) and drived Palestinians away from their land,where was your sence of justice when that came?SO,if you dont agree with me why not give the aborigines their land back and move back to wherever your family came from 300 years ago? |

I don't want to comment on the op, but I noticed this with many language learners and I wanted to warn you.
"Negro" is not a good word to use. I would say "black" here, but some people from NA might disagree. Either way, "negro" shouldn't be used  |

come on! guys! don't you think it is a pure waste of time to debate on such a problem? since we can't decide this issue after all, why don't we leave it alone?
No matter how fiercely we debate on this issue, it won't make any difference. we are not the ones who can control the situation of TaiWan.
Personally, I want TaiWan back to Mainland of China. but I know I am not the decision-maker who can tell how far TaiWan will go, so I don't think it is a great idea to fight for it. |

| No,we are the dicision-maker,you,me and other Chinese.As long as most of us keep the faith and willing of China reunifying again,it comes true not far.But if you just think it's none of your business and stay away,that only makes taiwan go away farther and farther. |

Even we have same festival,study a little same history,but we have our feature,a lot of thing is not like china.and fortunately,we can have our free will,even i have to admit our country has be destroyed by our govenment and polictical character.but the thing i want to say is ,we are family,right?you(china) have a lot parent and relatives in taiwan.so we are't enemy. may i think the enemy is japan.

Yeah, it is indeed a term corresponding to slavery in the past.

| it's truth that Mainland and Taiwan are belong to China,the mainly conflict not affected by people but between the party of Kuomintang and Communist Party.Regardless which party govern China,the important thing is Chinese can become more and more strong. |
