It would be nice if the hate between TW and Mainland would stop. But what worries me is that if such a bond is created, the TW culture and language might die off.

@b1346 one country two systems, same culture still exist in Hong Kong / Macau

Taiwanese are dogs. They like to get fuck by japanese bayonets and kill their own blood brothers in the mainland.

@Sp3ll633 slit eyes, small dicks, yellow skin, and both speak ching chong so they're the same. I am from SG. I hope China get Taiwan AND Singapore. Singapore is not independent.

@b1346 what culture?? 98% of taiwanese is ethnic Han. what language?? taiwanese dialect is the same as fujian dialect in mainland China, the only thing stoping re-unification is politics nothing else.

If Taiwan is not part of china, why to take so many out of the forbidden palace at the end of civil war? And shipping to Taiwan? Unless you so called Taiwaneses are all sons of thieves!

im sorry but its just a matter of time before the two china reunite, maybe a hong kong style deal. its sad but im just stating a fact. cuz i know my governement will never go to war with china bcuz of some tiny little island, we r already too connected economically with china, and the stakes will be too high, so every country always protects its interests first before everything, and we are no different, thats the sad fact. I just hope things will go on smoothly, war serves no purpose.

Damn even our fucking U.S government still regards China(PRC,and ROC) as one china represented by the peoples republic of china. Worst still, even the taiwanese government is still call ROC and still regards itself as the legitimate rulers of china and part of china.lol there are some things that cant be changed, except maybe u change ur appearance.lol

[njenjesmith]

well those taiwanese who say they are not chinese just make me laugh. if u r not chinese then change ur language, culture, physical appearance, ethnicity(han) and everything related to china. As far as we(Americans) and most people in the west are concern, when they see "Taiwanese" they just regard and call them Chinese no matter what u say or do.

@AsianShakespeare Because the Chinese civil war has never been *officially* over, Taiwan has still remained part of China de jure. The ROC constitution stipulates that both the Mainland and Taiwan are its sovereignty.

[AsianShakespeare]

@guayx2 That has nothing whatsoever to do with what I said.

[guayx2]

@AsianShakespeare That's because the US is a MULTICULTURAL country, while China does not support immigration.
