So if Taiwan says OK, we'll change the name of our country from ROC, then they will "feel China's wrath".
Makes no sense at all. ChiComs make no sense at all in that they say they will attack another country if that country (taiwan) says they don't want to take over China and kill all their leaders. China wants taiwan to claim to be the government of China and wants Taiwan to say taiwan will take over China. Saying they will counterattack China is not provocative. But saying we just want to live and let live -- now that is provocative and grounds for war?
Crazy.
Some ROC diehards in Taiwan often aren't much better in terms of logical coherence. I like the ROC and the flag, but objectively Taiwan never had anything to do with it. Taiwan was part of Japan when the ROC was founded and had nothing to do with China's civil war.
Taiwan's not part of China. The issue should be dropped by all sides and that be the end of it.
China's communist have bluffed just about everyone, though, it seems.
"They see the 55-year separation between Taiwan and China as a blip in Chinese history, one that will eventually be erased by the swing of the pendulum."
Well, it's been more like 110 years that Taiwan and mainland China have been politically separated, excluding the brief period after WWII, during the Chinese civil war. Before that Taiwan was at best neglected by the mainland as it was considered a haven for pirates and/or anti-Ching revolutionaries. Considering what mainland China and Taiwan have been through in the past century, 110 years may as well be an eternity.
