China...Taiwan... Options

[blogdeleted]

well as u c Taiwan is a part of China. but ppl around dont get that...*sigh* what do u think?

Taiwan is viewed as an independent nation economically, but it is globally viewed as China's rogue province politically.

I think Taiwan is not independently represented in the United Nations. If it is, well then good for them.

But yeah, China views Taiwan as part of Communist China, yet Taiwan is trying to be politically independent. A very touchy subject, as Taiwan hasn't FORMALLY and OFFICIALLY seceded from China in modern days. Such a PR statement can disrupt the unstable status quo, and we will most likely see a very disconcerting standoff between the two w/ a lot of tension added in. President Bush (I believe) supported Taiwan back in the past.

Here's my view:
With 2008 Beijing Olympics and 2010 Shanghai World Expo coming around, China is inevitably going to be playing a big role diplomatically and economically for the next decade. With these raised diplomatic standards put on China's shoulders by the globe, Taiwan will push the buttons of China the closer we get to the new decade. Is China willing to risk "war" with Taiwan if Taiwan secedes, even though it must be diplomatically revered w/ their Olympics and World Expo?

If Taiwan has the guts to secede, this decade is the time to do it. Do it while the guardsman is wooing a woman. There will be no better time.

And if America gets thrown into the mix, well we then have a recipe for the great China vs. America heavyweight championship match; it will probably be held in the Trump Majal.

The above will not make sense as I did not proofread or read over it. Please take no notion to my statements as I am just a blumbling tired sleepyhead now. Kthx.

very well said.

and no, taiwan is not represented in the UN. because in the 70s, when china wanted to join the UN, taiwan was in the UN under the name of "china" and because there could only be one "china" in the UN, taiwan, being the smaller country was kicked out. (i hope that wasn't too confusing)

if taiwan will officially declare secession. it would be admitting that they are part of china. and IF they really do, it would be close to 2006 because, as you said, the beijing olympics and the shanghai expo.
