Ibexx: I almost always agree with your points of view, but on one specific but essential point you have made an egregious presumption that shows you an embarrassingly poor light. The Taiwanese and the Mainland Chinese are as different or more so than Americans are to the British. Come on, there are vast differences in language, customs, beliefs, political, and economic structures! The fifty years of separation have only accentuated a seachange and differing evolution that many Westerners consistently underestimate. How many Taiwanese (read: non-Kuomingtang) desire reunification? Close to zero! Please talk to one, for goodness sake! n.b. most Taiwanese (80-plus percentage of the total population) speak a dialect that is structurally distinct from Mandarin.
