Here with a semi-political rant

Taiwan? It's a nation. I don't really care if it regards itself as not a province and a country, and of course, they deserve recognition for being one of the 4 Asian Tigers and being so successful. Even being Chinese myself, I recognize that they want to be independent, and I wouldn't mind if they were in the U.N. with China.

I just want the two parts of "China" to get along??? It seems stupid how the two nations are usually just seen as a historical and modern conflict of nationalism and Communism, and nationalism is seen as absolutely correct. Well, it's not. Both sides killed people. That can't be condoned. But they're both doing relatively well on their own now in their own ways.

I do have a problem with Taiwan wanting to claim the mainland as their own again. Technically, they did abandon the people in the 20th century, and a lot of development has stemmed in China since then. Why do they have the rights to go back and say, "oh, you solved some problems, but too bad, it's our land." No. That's my current standpoint, being biased on both sides due to both Chinese and American education.

I don't like China's government that much, but I don't like any government all that much, even if they stop anarchy in some way. Every government undeniably has done wrong things. They probably have tried to hide it, too. I don't think China should be seen as undeserving of its power just because of the system of government being "communist". It's more socialist now. Of course, corruption exists and a lot of people are executed, but it's done well in these 70 years. So I wish people over here would stop being so negative about anything Chinese, like everything they do is wrong. Maybe they are wrong, maybe less, maybe more, but they're trying.
