This is nothing new. Its been thought of, and proposed long ago. Dr. Sun Yat Sen had this in mind from the get go.

read about the flag that tells the general story.

Notice everyone was equal.

There is a WHOLE LOT to be said about all this...

Communist interpretation of history is bogus.

A locally governed democracy with equal representation of all ethnic groups is what Dr. Sun had in mind in his revolution of 1911.

Dr. Sun was heavily influenced by America. He went to school in Hawaii where he met many American 'elites' and became friends with many Americans.

His vision was not totally 100% "American" style of democracy,but more European and American mix, and far different than what goes on now in the PRC.

The Taiwanese way, as far as I can tell, is by far closer to what Dr. Sun wanted, than ever has been the one party communist ideologues of the PRC.

In China now, if you preach local governance over "party control" get prepared for subversion charges.
