| "Is Taiwan a country? -YES. It is a country in its own right by any other definition that isn't chinese (I mean China-ish)" Taiwan is de facto a country, but not de jure. For starters, the United States does not recognise Taiwan as a country - it agrees with "the Chinese position that there is only one China and that Taiwan is part of China". Hi Ben, I do agree that Taiwan is regarded as a de facto country but bear in mind that USA is not the world and whatever USA feels belongs solely to the opinion of USA. Also, before George Bush became the President of USA, Clinton does regard Taiwan as a country subtlely... and till today USA is still selling weapons to Taiwan and does subtlely agree that Taiwan is a country though not politically... and if you were to ask most people on the street, guess what they will say about China and Taiwan? The reason why Bsuh does not want to public support Taiwan is because it does not want to anger Chian further coz it needs China's help in peacing N. Korea out.. |
