While I leave the first two posts well alone, I will run on this one... Are you Dreamer of the opinion that Taiwan is NOT an independent nation?

If Britain claimed Australia, (like Taiwan with its own government, borders and defence forces with free and fair elections) would you still call Australia British and not recognise Australia as independent? If the Netherlands somehow claimed the 'Dutch east Indies' as its rightful land and did not recognise that Indonesia is independent, would you agree with your government? What would it take for you to say Taiwan is independent? Most of the western world has been kissing china’s ass over this issue for long enough.

Taiwan is independent! And long may it stay so.
