First of all... Taiwan is for all intents and purposes, independent even if very few states officially recognise it as such. (Seperate military, system of government)

Independent but rejected by almost all of the world. Just like Turkish part of the Cyprus.

Second I wasn't talking about independence. I was talking about respecting the will of the Taiwanese. If Taiwan CHOOSES to become a part of China then that's their call.

You said "leave Taiwan alone". Wouldn't that be supporting independance?

Though I don't see why it would forego it's local democratic autonomy for an authoritarian central government.

Western style democracy = bad for Asia

I'm guessing your point is that the West's track record in Africa is not very good. You're absolutely right... I'm not making excuses for the West... you're making excuses for China though.

But you have been a pro-West advocate from your posts. You are either:
1. really love the West
2. really hate China
there is no middle ground for you almost all the time... even though you said that you don't like the west, you wouldn't want to criticize the west with passion.
Lol! You made my day. Thanks. Another deluded UN-worker wannabe I encountered in my internet life. Man, kudos to you, UN cadre.

Luckily we don't need to consider Ronin4hire seriously thanks to his flamboyant posts. Sorry for everybody in this forum but this is how I think.
