Of course it's part of China, idiots. That's why the name of the state is ’†‰Ø–¯š .

Ummm...the name of the Chinese state according to the Taiwanese authorities remains 'Republic of China' (zhonghuaminguo). All of the car licence plate registrations in Taiwan have 'taiwansheng' written on them.

Personally, I think a declaration of a Taiwanese Republic would be tragic, since it would legitimise Communist rule on the mainland. What annoys me the most is that the Americans (i.e. Nixon), by accepting the Communist one-China policy, have effectively helped speed up this process.

Please keep in mind that not everyone in favour of Chinese unification is in fact a Communist.

I agree completely. Taiwan is and should be a part of China.
What's the benefit to having Taiwan become an independent country? Maybe to lost China's protection in times of need... that's a good thing.
