Chinese communists have said there is no Republic of China and hasn't been since 1949.

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.

The fascist governement's days on mainland are numbered. A democratic society will occur when China has a critical number of well-educated middle class. Flag of ROC or a variation of it may even fly over Taiwan and Mainland one day.
