Why Taiwanese authorities are waiting a request or permission from Chinese mainland authorities??? Aren't they the same country???
It's very unhuman to take advange of this disaster to press China for admitting Taiwan as a country.
China is unhuman. Free tibet!
Brothers helping brothers. Just go by the heart. Charity is always good.
Take this opportunity to help with the relationship.
Thanks Taiwan
So what should Taiwan do instead? It can't enter China without China's permission. All that it can do is offer help to China.
Besides, it is no more inhuman for Taiwan to offer the help of the Taiwanese government and people than it is for China to refuse help unless Taiwan agrees that it is a province of China.
Taiwan is not part of China. It's an independent country from PRC (People's Republic of China).
Lol, China's governement is composed of unhumanitarian leadership. It is unhumane of china leadership to even think twice about allowing taiwan to aid at a time of such devastation. China is not giving the go ahead in fear that it will owe taiwan something. Apparently you are also unfamiliar for the even worse situation in Myanmar. They lost close to 100000 people and are still not allowing international assistance as of saturday anyway........
What is with these stubborn and arrogant asian dictatorships? I fear fear china in 10 years. Their dominance could backfire on the world and this arrogant behavior only supports my theory.....
Taiwan is a seperate entity apart from China. Take some time and look up its history from WWII through the Cultural Revolution and Pres. Jimmy Carter's betrayal of former treaties and agreements with Taiwan by recognizing Beijing as the only 'true China.' It's rather interesting.
Taiwan is not part of China People's Republic. Tibet is not part of it either. Let Tibet free, let Taiwan free.
