[quote=Dukehorn]The only way for those people to get rid of Chinese identity is to rename ROC to ROT, but who dares? Even Shuibian Chen can’t
That’s ridiculous, you think the Chinese diaspora to Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines etc are all calling themselves Chinese? I don’t meet anybody saying I’m a Filipino Chinese or a Thai Chinese. There are plenty of Taiwanese and Taiwanese Americans that do not consider themselves Chinese. Live with it.[/quote]
Thailand and Philippoines historicall had no much connection with China. Vietnam and Korea had very close connection, but they were not part of China. While the taiwan island not only ruled by Chinese government historically, but also ruled by Republic of China government until now. There is complex relationship between ROC and PRC, but no one can’t deny the commonality between them, CHINA. The people live in US can call themselves whatever they want. It doesn’t matter, nobody cares. We cares the taiwan island is ruled by Chinese government (ROC), the people should be called Chinese. This the bottom line Taiwanese people don’t dare to change at all. Face the fact, live with it.
