I'm fine if Taiwan declares independence but they should stop using the words "Republic of China" to represent themselves and to renounce their claim to mainland China, Taiwan isn't China and should never represent China, if they want to be treated as a separate nation, the first thing they should do is stop using the name of China.

- forkLding 8y agoSo is Singapore and Hong Kong. Taiwan doesn't represent China. Republic of Macedonia recently changed their name because Greeks didn't want them to use Republic of Macedonia. If Taiwan wants to be Taiwan, they should change their name to Republic of Taiwan, just because Canada is majority English or German ethnicity doesn't mean its Republic of England. Also they should renounce their claim to the mainland, thats my biggest concern.
- CogitoCogito 8y agoJust so I'm clear, given that the PRC doesn't represent Taiwan or exercise any sovereignty over it, do you also believe that it should renounce its claims to Taiwan?
- forkLding 8y agoYes I don't care if Taiwan wants independence or not, I have good friends that are Taiwanese
