and please don't judge china from american and british television alone - china has done a lot to improve it's status and it just needs time to further improve itself. whilst there are always places that want to hinder china's improvement, just give them time.
Being half Chinese, I love the Chinese people as much as the Japanese.. But.

Taiwan is a country made up from the natives on that island and the National government of China who bailed to Taiwan when the Communist government rose to power.

If Taiwan is part of China, then America is part of Britain and Japan is still part of China.

And yes, we should go to the backroom for more discussions.
