Really though, one thing that bothers me is how people read an article on Wikipedia or listen to their friends and think they understand everything. You are mislead and I feel very bad that you have to be this ignorant.

Okay, I'm sure anyone can tell you that if China wanted to, it can conquer Taiwan in under a day if no one stops it. However do you know why China will never be able to turn Taiwan communist? Because the United States wouldn't allow it. Allowing China to control Taiwan gives them too much control over the pacific (trading routes, military position)

and i bet you think christopher columbus discovered America. and wikipedia is very reliable...also if you wanted to go far back then people migrated to china from Africa... so all chinese people arent chinese, but african right?

im not sure where you got your "15%" from, but if you search Wikipedia, you'll find that pepole from the mainland settled there thousands of years ago. the natives were not chinese, but mainlanders from china populated taiwan.

The United Nations does not recognizes Taiwan was a country. it falls under China. Taiwan wants to be indepentdant, but its not gonna happen.
