Taiwan has been a part of China′s territory

[kubili2013]

Taiwan has been a part of China ′ s territory from ancient times, but long been seperated from the mainland owing to man-made factors. However, it does not reflect this point from your demo.

With great deference - not to over patriotic modern Chinese nuts - but that awe inspiring Chinese History of the once Great Admiral "Zheng He" with his Treasure Fleet of over 300 ships in the early fifteenth century and not replicated by the West until the First World War - I present to you one Greater China. Unfortunately were it not for the similar patriotic small-mindedness of the Confucian officials of that time this map of Greater China might indeed be very much larger and we all could well have been speaking Chinese today!:

Be grateful that I didn't clip out Tibet, noting also that China - India borders are hotly in dispute, as for the islands well some do belong to Admiral "Zheng He" who if he didn't indeed discover them (Arabic Mariners actually laid the earlier trade route to China from the other direction and no doubt stumbled across some of them too) likely took them and "All under Heaven" could truly then have belonged to his Master of the China of that time. Whilst unfortunately by comparison today the Palestinians - and others including in the New China - are really getting a rather bad deal instead.

So welcome to the modern world where patriotism is indeed the very last refuge of scoundrels: may a one world democratic government by Athenian Sortition (representatives chosen randomly by lottery and not by either single or multi party commercially vested-interest lobbyists and crooks) truly come!

Perhaps this is even what communism was always meant to be!? Should I then rename this new country to the "Greater Firewall of China" in order to get all of GitHub.com blocked for all of you my dear Chinese Comrades!?

Is Taiwan a country... or part of China?:

Too bad that you cannot watch this from China unless you use an illegal or corporate VPN!
Perhaps not unsurprisingly the western democratic Taiwanese want very little to do with China so it is one Country with Two Governments for the conceivable future sad to say (hence my argument: could Athenian Sortition be a key to reunification!?)..

I think that this guy should really now be in negative territory since China's Social Credit Rating System is coming:
http://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2018-09-18/china-social-credit-a-model-citizen-in-a-digital-dictatorship/10200278

One can see how his posting here has had a rather negative effect on China's Internet image for those able to read it outside of the firewall so his social credit standing should be heavily discounted accordingly!
