In a free country you have the right to express your convictions, but that also means that you must be prepared to defend your position. In an atmosphere of free intercourse, where everyone can express their ideas, it takes more than bald assertions like "Taiwan belongs to China" to make your point. Persuasion and argumentation is the art of democracy. That means you must base your argumentation in terms that are mutually intelligible and agreable, which means facts from reputable and as much as possible, objective sources. Several people on this thread posted historical facts from several sources which did not agree with your interpretation of Chinese political dogma, and you dismissed it as Eurocentrism. If you can't take the heat, the saying goes, stay out of the kitchen.
