Should Taiwan be part of China?

Hehe, in the cloak of "Freedom & Human-right concerned" to advocate something undiscoverred fully, always seem to get effect for the sympathy of consensus in advance.

I admit my country there is something shady that the Masses didn't know at all, but how about your separatist hiding something either to the overall Taiwanese people ? The first crucial step to de-chinalization is to abandon the Chinese characters you use in daily life first, just try it do so purposedly.

"The first crucial step to de-chinalization is to abandon the Chinese characters you use in daily life first, just try it do so purposedly."

Your comment is somewhat confusing. That is like telling the US to abandon English and some of the currently independent African nations to abandon French all together because they chose to break away from those who use to rule over them. In having both adapted and derived from a great nation doesn't mean they have to abandon their history or the language they've been so very rooted and familar with. Two wrongs don't necessarily make a right.

This problem has been around for decades and still it has not come to a conclusion, because people are not accepting the facts. I am from Taiwan, however, I still truly believe that Taiwan is part of China. It is totally understandable that the people of Taiwan are angry and even have hatred towards China for what they have done in the past. I use to hate China because of what they did to my people, and even family. Today, I see things from a broader perspective, and believe that our future lies in China. China is a growing country, and is changing dramatically, becoming a free market, democratic society, even though it will take years to change fully. There are two groups of people in Taiwan that express different views on this issue, the people who came over after the war between Chiang Kai Shek's party (KMT) and Mao, and the people who moved over to the island during the Ming dynasty almost 300 years ago. Most people under KMT want eventual reunification with China because they recognize they were once part of the country. The people that came during the Ming dynasty still feel they are an independant nation. This is not accurate because Taiwan was already a province of China during those days. It was always a part of China, even before the KMT. Of course, it is disappointing to say that China left Taiwan to survive on its own. They really did not pay much attention to Taiwan after the wars because of their own problems. Taiwan today, has developed into a high tech and rich society. The people suffered through so many issues and worked their way up to the top, and now China wants them back? It is difficult to give up something you worked so hard for, but they are Chinese, and Taiwanese are Chinese. You cannot take something away that was never yours. China will never let Taiwan go. I do believe the people of Taiwan deserve a great apology for what China has done in the past. It is a mere fact that slowly Taiwan is moving closer to China, considering they have about 900,000 Taiwanese doing business in China. However, it will take a lot of time before Taiwan is ever reunified fully with China. If you ask me now, I would vote against reunification because it would hurt Taiwan's economy, and standard of living. China is not at the level of Taiwan in terms of GDP per capita, and even in its democratic system. Once China reaches that level, then it would be a good idea to get back with the motherland. If you ask me in the future in about 60-70 years, when China improves more, I would vote for the reunification. Today, I do not hate China mainlanders, nor the people of Taiwan 300 years ago, or even the KMT. I just want to see a peaceful solution to this problem. I hope that people can understand this problem from an overall perspective, and not let hatred blind them from the truth. Taiwanese must recognize this, and not be naive about it. I love Taiwan, but I love China as well. Taiwan is the last piece of the puzzle to a better future for all Chinese. Thanx.

In my opinion, Taiwan deserves a place in the UN, Taiwan deserves its indenpendency and it should be granted the status of a country of its own. Whether this country is going to be called "Republic of China" or "Taiwan" doesn't really matter. If the Taiwanese want to be independent - and it seems as if they did - they should be able to!
My Taiwanese sister (well, she's not my sister by birth, I am not Taiwanese) also thinks that Taiwan should not be part of China, be she and many Taiwanese are afraid of what China, the big dragon, is going to do after Taiwan declares independence. That's why she's really torn because of course, she wants her family and herself to be in safety and not involved in war.
Also, the only reasons why most states have broken their diplomatic ties with Taiwan is because they are afraid of Chinese consequences (economy and so on). Most countrys have consulates in Taiwan that act as embassies!

As a further reading, I recommend the following website why Taiwan should be part of the UN which would grant them a more independent status:
