Yeah. And Taiwan is part of China. Say, do remember when the US did not recognize the PRC? Did you support our non-recognition?

You missed something. Rather important too. Secret Treaty of Velasco .......................................................... ARTICLE 4.-A treaty of comity, amity, acid limits, will be established between Mexico and Texas, the territory of the latter not to extend beyond the Rio Bravo del Norte. tamu.edu So it appears those dirty nasty lying Tejans really DID have a valid reason to claim their territory extended all the way to the Rio Grande. You remember who Santa Ana was, right? EL PRESIDENTE DE REPUBLICA DE MEXICO A dictator, really. That being the case, the Tejans had good reason to think his word should be good. More: The Public Treaty of Velasco: Treaties of Velasco (14 May 1836) The two treaties of Velasco were negotiated between officials of the ad interim government of the Republic of Texas and Santa Anna, the Mexican dictator and commander of forces, about three weeks after his capture by the Texans at the Battle of San Jacinto. .......................................................... Article 3rd The mexican troops will evacuate the Territory of Texas, passing to the other side of the Rio Grande del Norte. Now look at this: sunsite.unam.mx See the Rio Grande? The border of Texas.
