Are we Chinese? True, our blood does not change, but does the condition of blood affect the mind of the human? It is something a mainlander would never understand; they have been living in China forever. I imagine that the first Han people on Taiwan would have called themselves Chinese, called China their home. They thought that Taiwan was merely a stopping point. They thought they would go back to China. Some did. Some did not. And those who did not go back soon found that Taiwan was their home. At that time, they joined the people of Taiwan. The Taiwanese. They may look nothing like the original inhabitants of Taiwan, the peaceful aboriginals, but they are connected with them the same way they are connected to every tree in Taiwan, every animal in Taiwan. And some say this takes many years to happen. I beg to differ. 蔣中正, first "president" of the Republic of China, denounced Taiwan as his home, and as his country. However, his son, 蔣經國, said "I am Taiwanese" before he died. In fact, 蔣友柏 of the Chiang (蔣) family critisized the KMT for honoring his own ancestor Chiang Kai Shek.It really only takes one generation. And it should only take one generation. Once you go to Taiwan, you will feel the pride, the honor that we Taiwanese feel. Taiwan is our island. And now, some people, our ancestors, come to us from across the strait, they point missiles at us. They deny us our right to live, our right to recognition, they stamp on our country, they say that we are Chinese, they demand that we come back to their land. When we say no, they whine, they fire their missiles close to our island, they threaten us. The communists will hit us, they will burn us, they will bully us, but we will prevail! We will not give our democratic Taiwan for peace. We will not give up our Taiwanese pride for Chinese pride. We will not give up. Never. And if China thinks they can solve this problem by killing us, then China is consisted of the biggest collection of fools ever. China can kill every single Taiwanese person in the world, but what would that be other than a waste of life and blood. If China does that, the world will remember Taiwan forever, and they will remember China for killing Taiwan forever. I am not saying "go ahead and bomb Taiwan," I am stating the consequences if China bombs Taiwan, if China coerces Taiwan to be part of China. I am not saying Taiwanese people should pick up their guns and shoot at China, I am saying that we should never give up. However, do expect us Taiwanese to fight for Taiwan and freedom if China should attack us. Reunification is not a solution unless the people of Taiwan want reunification. China's polls says that Taiwan wants a peaceful reunification, however, they fail to mention the missiles pointing at Taiwan that pressure the people of Taiwan to reunite with the "motherland." If 90% of Taiwan's people consider themselves "Taiwanese," then why would 50% want to reunite with the mainland? If 96% of the Taiwanese population supports democracy, then why would 50% want to reunify? These polls are useless junk. Only time will tell whether Taiwan wants to reunify or not. That time will be when the world sees Taiwan, and when China can no longer bully Taiwan. At that time, the people of Taiwan will decide their fate, and they will make a good choice. Then there will be peace. Until that time, we Taiwanese will hold together. We Taiwanese will not falter. We Taiwanese will wait.

No offense or anything, but it's going to take a long time because even when Taiwan grows to be great, I have a bad feeling that China will be stronger. I see that you are talking about future generations. But for maybe the next couple of decades, I don't see that happening.

We don't have to be "greater" than China, we just have to be not a part of China
