so are america and cuba right?

whats wrong with him saying taiwan and china is 1 country?

the same reason why you can't suck and blow and the same time dumbass.

rofl u obviously dunno what the fuck you are talking about

...
take a deep breath. It's because the Taiwanese people don't want to be with China. I know rejection is hard to take, but don't be a little girl about it.

again ur ignorance is shown ... i would just fade out of this thread if i were u

The guy on the left looks like the bad guy from Rush Hour ... Ricky Tan? LOL

again, she doesn't love you man! let her go!

LOL...do they physically write a letter to each other? like Dear Ma, Long time no see, how is the life in Taiwan? Hit on any TW JB laterly LOL? From Love Wu.

that sounds so gay. And how did they send the letter? UPS or fedex?

I assume there are Taiwanese people who have mixed indigenous and Chinese blood? Sometimes when I meet a Taiwanese person, they look a bit
"native" with traits such as dark skin or have different facial traits from a traditional "Chinese looking" person.

60 years for a letter....
30 for email lets hope

You're thinking of the Han people, which make up a big chunk of what we consider Mainlander Chinese.

Most people from Taiwan came from Fujian (ie SE China), which is why they look somewhat different from, say, someone in Beijing (the "stereotypical" Han). Of course, mixing with the aboriginals is going to make them look even more different. I'm not sure if the whole Dutch conquest back in tha day resulted in Euro-blood getting into the TW bloodline as well.

The whole "Is TW part of China" question is quite interesting. I've been yelled at (while in TW) for suggesting TW is not part of China, and also yelled at for suggesting otherwise. It totally depends on who you ask. Meanwhile, pretty much every Mainlander (ie China) out there asks will murder you on the spot if you suggest that TW is NOT part of China. The best is if you have TW/CN couple friends, and you ask both of them at the same time if TW is part of China. :lol

Oh wellz, as long as they keep making cheap mobos and RAM sticks and cranking out Taichung JB, why do we all care. :D

I enjoy watching the TW parliament bitch slap each other on TV

Most of people in Taiwan were immigrants from mainland China, idealy.. we are from the same country..Taiwan Rebulic of China
I'm from Taiwan, and I don't think we are yet consider as a REAL COUNTRY..
We just one single country with 2 differnet ruling, democracy and communism..
Fuck the separatists !!!!!!!!!!!

Let's flip this situation a little bit so other people can understand why it's so confusing:

"What are you?"
"I'm Canadian"
"No you're not, you're Chinese"

Ethnically you can be Chinese but your nationality could be Canadian. You need to be a bit more specific when you ask someone "what are you?"

I don't think I've met anyone who's ever claimed that they were ethnically Taiwanese.

Taiwan should do a "I am Taiwanese" ad campaign for their beer like the "I am Canadian" ones they have here, I'd love to see the stereotypical traits people think Taiwanese people have.

maybe triumph can go to taiwan

Not so much since many of the aboriginals are isolated in the mountains (kinda like reserves here but not really)

Hmm Dutch, that's an interesting one. Im sure it happened but it was many many centuries ago it probably doesn't have any effect now.

Unfortunately a lot of the semiconductor management moved their plants to China, but the JB are still there :lol

Wait, wut?

So since Vancouver has like 40% of its population of Chinese and Indian decsent..Vancouver is technically China and India as well? How insightful.

Two totally different political ideology + financial structure and still equating to one nation? My brain cells are dying from reading that.

It's a nice idea, but you'll just get Beijing threatening the island "flexing those guns" in front of other world superpowers for TW independence campaigns...

edit: oh and, comparing Quebec/Tibet or whatever to Taiwan doesn't work well.

Quebec in the 17th century had the chance to fight for their name but they lost the war. They've been bitter since but the English still let their language be one of our two official langauges. They are not self-sufficient financially..I remember Bloc Quebecois said if they gained independence they would still need financial support from Canada for 15 more years or sthing. The biggest difference is that Canada had a referendum for their independence not once but twice. Taiwan on the other hand has been self-sufficient financially for the past 70 years. Physically it's an island so isolation is better achieved than cmopared to quebec.

Did taiwan ever get to fight for its name? Nope. Would China ever openly give a referendum for the self-determination of the island? Hell fucking noes. The minute the govt in TW tries to put one up the Red Army will be implementing an assault.

on a side note.
what happens if a white couple has kids in China while on vacation or a work visa?
are the white kids Chinese nationals? o_O

can white people be Chinese citizens?

There is a difference between Chineses Citizen and being Chinese. Its the same example that asian people born here are called canadians.

you completely missed the point..

the question is simple. can white people be citizens of China.

is that easier to understand?
