So you think that Taiwan should be assimilated with USA? Good point. That's next after Hawaii and Hawaiians originally sailed there from Taiwan so it makes sense from an ancestry basis. Chinese [from China] don't have many ancestors from Taiwan, but all Hawaiians and Maoris and Cook Islanders do [the natives, not the recent arrivals]. So on an inheritance basis, Taiwan belongs to Cook Islands, Maoris, Hawaiians and other Polynesians, which means NZ, USA also, as owners of those places. China has no business there. The fact that Chiang Kai-shek and his army arrived there, as did others, gives them squatters' rights, rather than inheritance rights. China stole Taiwan from the original owners and it has been partly returned to rightful owners. You have probably become confused because Taiwan is closer to China geographically than it is to other countries. But proximity doesn't confer ownership among civilized people. Your neighbour's house doesn't belong more to you than to their sons and daughters who might live on the other side of the Earth just because it's next door. You are confused ElM, as usual. Taiwan is owned rightfully by Taiwanese, meaning those people who live there and are citizens of it. It's quite simple. China and their politburo doesn't own it. Taiwanese do. How do you find that complicated? Mqurice
