Taiwan is part of China.
And, China does not mean regimes (PRC or ROC)
China is China by culture.
Both PRC and ROC (Mainland China and Taiwan) belong to the same identity of China.
> >
Both of these are regimes currently controlling the Chinese mainland and the island provinc of Taiwan.
It is not appropriate to refer China to any of these regimes because they are all governments of the one country of China.
PRC and ROC are all part of China just like the old Imperial Dynasties.
We can't say that the state of Chin was China and Chu was not when Chu was administrated by a different regime.
It is like during the Three Kingdom Era that all three states of Wei, Shu, and Wu referred to the same country of China, called all under heaven or Wah Ha ( I am sorry. I am bad with mandarin ping ying. I am trying to say Wah as in the second character of the full name of PRC or ROC in Chinese and Ha literally means summer.)
The fact was that China was controlled by three different regimes. However, none of them alienated themselves and called each other foreigners or aliens. The barbarians such as the Huns and Turks were, on the other hand, considered as aliens.
China is Chinalace by cultural heritage.
The vast majority of Taiwan is of Han descend. Both China and Taiwan share the same culture, language, customs, and tradition. Even the ways they do business are similar. (paying bride, exploitation, being miserly) Not true for all. So dont get mad.
In which sense, Hong Kong is more westernized. Hong Kong was ruled by the British for 150 years while Taiwan was only occupied by Japan for fifty years. If you compare the city layouts of Shanghai and Taipei, you can hardly find any obvious differences. But when you compare Hong Kong with cities on Taiwan and in Mainland China, you can see huge differences. But, Hong Kong is still a Chinese city after all. Even during the time when Hong Kong was ruled by the crown of England, the people there considered themselves as Chinese. They didnt call themselves White, English, British even though many of them were British national. What matters is the ethic heritage and culture.
Some might argue How about the Tibetans, Turks, and Mongolians? They are not of Han Chinese culture. Yes, they have differences and we control and rule them because we are stronger than them now.

Taiwanese people are of Han descend like the majority of Mainland China. They should be the last ones who want to be independent because they are trying to split up the country formed by their own ethnicity. Its like English people trying to split up London from England.
> >
Its annoying and ignorant how some people on Taiwan call themselves pacific islanders and non Chinese while all of them hold Chinese surnames, have Chinese ancestors, have Chinese blood in them, and speak and write in Chinese.
> >
The name "China was actually derived from the world Chin when the first emperor unified China proper.
If you check the CIA factbook, it says the independence day of China is 221 bc under the First Emperor of Chin. Both mainland China and Taiwan are descendants of the Chin.

So was Sino Sin referred to the Chin by the West, Thus, Sino was referred to China.

I love peace and I hate war but I have realized that the only way to reunify the country is to fight a war.
Theres only one way out. Declare war on Taiwans separatists.
I am tired of hearing or reading their nonsense or news and magazines.
I know a lot of people pnTaiwan dont want reunification and even disregard their own ethnicity and identity and want to be barbaric islanders.
Think what you want. Just keep in mind that the reunification of China will come anyways. Its just a matter of whether it is by peaceful means or by force.
> >
Taiwans separatists are the disgrace of the Han people and or Chinese culture. And for those separatists, they should better stop using Chinese languages including Taiwanese (originally from Mainland China), release their blood, drop their surnames.
> >
The whole issue is not up to Taiwans population but the entire Chinese population.
Taiwan belongs to all Chinese people and not only people on this island.
Its like when you own some land, it doesnt mean you can declare independence of such an apartment from the country where it is located when all the family members want to be independent.
> >
Under current circumstances, it will most likely to be solved by war.
I have figured that declaring war on Taiwan is the only way out.
I have lost hope.
Declare war on Taiwan. The sooner, the better.
It is likely that China will suffer disastrous economic loss and it's a loss that all Chinese do not want. But, the reunification of China for thousands of years has always been the supreme goal and obligation for all regimes. It is viewed above all matters including the economy, human lives, and anything.
