A ruling party lawmaker threw a shoe at the speaker of Taiwan's Legislature and assorted colleagues engaged in protracted pushing and shoving, as the final day of the winter legislative session dissolved into disarray.

These guys still act more grownup than the US Congress...

You know, if the Taiwanese decide to tape more of these fights and put them on Pay-Per-View, they might raise enough money to BUY back their independence.

This is more entertaining than pro wrestling or even Jerry Springer.

@TheDopenessism What ever helps you sleep at night pal but regardless it still does not anwser my question

@thebritish25 Chinese culture doesnt make the people living there ''Chinese'', there are a lot of countries were old colonies of different countries too. They didnt have the same name as their colonized countries. Singapore has Chinese culture too, but they are not '' China'' right? Identity is based on social experiences, not cultural ideas or ancestry. =)

@thebritish25 Looking by your username I guess youre British, then I guess it will be easier to say this way, In the past Britain had a lot of different colonies, India, Australia, New Zealand, United States. These countries now wouldnt say they are "the UK" now wouldnt they? In fact the Han Chinese part is unfortunately controlled by Chinese Nationalists (AKA Republic of China refugees) and it is not easy to change unless next year our Taiwanese president get elected again. (replacing Chinese)

@TheDopenessism many people do call it Taiwan and it is Taiwan but officially and the state recgonised by the UN is the Republic of China.

And the majority of the population is Han Chinese.

most of what was original Taiwan and Taiwanese has been striped away by Chinese Japanese some Europeans too.

and now the fight between the Republic of China the Peoples Republic of China.

more or less Taiwan has been on a large scale influenced by Chinese culture.

hence why I say " China"
