You need to study Taiwan's history a bit more.

You too!

It was a province of China for all of 10 years.

Are you sure? Go study the history.

Chinese people only moved there 300 years ago or so.

White people moved to America ?? years ago. So you are saying Taiwan belongs to those native Taiwaneses but there are so many different tribes with totally different languages and cultures. Who owns Taiwan? Obvious not people speak MinNan dialect.

You are really brainwashed by some twisted information.

Color Tear.

You are trying my patience.

The Qing designated Taiwan as a province in 1885 or 1887. It was given to Japan in 1895. Learn some addition.

It was settled in the mid 1600's in response to the Ming defeat. It took the Qing a few decades to subdue it. It became a "prefecture" of Fujian province.

It was only a province in its own right from 1885 to 1895 -- ten years.

There's not much reason to argue with you because I am accurate in my facts.

Your problem is you do not understand what I am saying does not preclude Taiwan from being part of any future China, if they want.

It, though, does address history accurately, and does address real solutions to the problem of China and their troublemaking.

You are more trouble for Taiwan now than the ChiComs.

Taiwan is not part of what is known as and spoken of as China -- the People's Republic of China. Anyone saying otherwise has mental problems.

If you want to say Taiwan is part of China because it is part of the ROC, then fine.

As far as Kinmen and Matzu, the people there can make their own choice. So far they like ROC/Taiwan.

But they might opt for a Hong Kong type situation -- I'd think they were crazy, but it is their choice.

I really do not think you understand your own positions because they are so self contradictory.
