The fact is that there's usually a difference between official stances and what the truth is or even what people actually believe. The official stance is also that OJ didn't kill those people, for example.
That is an incredibly ironic statement. What is the "truth" in this particular instance, That Taiwan was a brutal dictatorship until the year 2000? That it was founded by mass murderer Chang Kai-Shek? Was it a part of China back then? When did it become not a part of China?
I'm pretty sure that Taiwan doesn't want to be a part of China, and I support the self actualization of people. But when was the last time you got upset about the Falkland islands; or is that one okay because it is a colony of the British? What about The US's unconscionable interventions in Haiti? You're either all in on self actualization, or you're a stooge.
Not sure what your point about the Falklands is? They want to remain a British overseas territory.
And are also one of the extremely rare circumstances in which the land really was uninhabited when European colonists got there
GP really thought he owned it with that one, didn't he?
