| I definitely agree about freedom of choice. But our world doesn't always work perfectly when everyone has everything their way - does it? Sometimes we have to compromise. Look at Scotland, Whales of the UK? If they had remained independent, whos to say there may not have been more wars, leading to cycles of violence? A compromise was reached that benefitted everyone. In Hong Kong, and Macau, a compromise was reached. All I'm saying is every situation is different. I don't think stating independence, when virtually already independent, just to start a bonfire, is needed right now. The losers won't be China, nor the U.S., nor anyone else, so much as the people of Taiwan, who will suffer under the instability of being the so-called 'battleground' between ideologies of China and the U.S., or whatever. If they state independence, they may perhaps become locked in a direction they can't deviate from or work to compromise in the future, even when China is a friendly green giant to everyone else. |
