    Default Taiwan is a Country (even if you wish really hard it wasn't)


    With so many people out there confused about Taiwan, here's the cold hard truth about it. It's a country. It's not part of China. There are two governments, one is China, one is Taiwan. But that's not how I feel about it; that's just a fact.



    Wake up and smell the coffee.

    When I was a kid we were taught it was a country. Most encyclopedias also put it as so. It was only recently like the mid-2000s-2010s really I stopped seeing it portrayed as such and stopped seeing made in Taiwan.
    Those who want to live, let them fight, and those who do not want to fight in this world of eternal struggle do not deserve to live.

    Even if this were hard--that is how it is ! Assuredly, however, by far the harder fate is that which strikes the man who thinks he can overcome Nature, but in the last analysis only mocks her. Distress, misfortune, and diseases are her answer.

    Me too: That's because Taiwan is very much a sovereign country. I can recall a time when I saw it called Formosa on maps and globes, instead of Taiwan. I sure hope that the USA will continue to respect Taiwan's sovereignty.
