Taiwan's official name is "Republic of China".
- nurettin 8mo agoA bit ambitious, isn't it?
- thaumasiotes 8mo agoNot so much ambitious as nostalgic.
- Paradigma11 8mo agoChina has stated that it would see any change in Taiwans stance as an attempt to declare independence which would result in an invasion.
- nurettin 8mo agoSounds like 5D chess, since Taiwan applied to be the "sole legal government of China" in the UN back in the 50s. (which was rejected) then they rejected the 70s resolution of "two Chinas". So it comes through as ambitious. But I will let the Taiwanese correct me on that.
- Paradigma11 8mo agoYes, the situation was different in the 50s and 70s. But for the last few decades it has been explicit chinese policy that any change of the status quo would lead to an invasion. Somewhat similar to HongKong where China apologists always bring up that HK never had any democratic autonomy while conveniently not mentioning that China explicitly stated that such would instantly result in an invasion. Putting a gun to someones head forcing him to say something and then using that against him.
- Pay08 8mo agoConsidering that at one point they controlled the majority of China, not really.
- Hasnep 8mo agoThere are two countries that contain the substring "Republic of the Congo" and everyone seems to be okay with that
- maxglute 8mo agoThere are two governments that contain the substring of "China" and their constitutions claim a single unified Chinese country that includes mainland and Taiwan island, most of the world, seems ok with that.
