^ You forgot to mention that they are both Han Chinese, speak Chinese, share same Chinese culture/Ancestors.
We can not let China and Taiwan reunite, as it would spell major disaster for us. What India must do is throw all our support on pro-independent Taiwan and hope for the best.
Is Taiwan Part of China?
The answer is a loud and clear NO!
Not anymore anyway.
Is Taiwan part of China? The following 8 undisputable facts should prove you that Taiwan is not a province or a territory that belongs to China. Sure, the island of Taiwan was once occupied and governed by China in the past and Taiwanese history was greatly influenced by its giant neighbor. But at present time, Taiwan is not part of China!
Important Notes:
Taiwan's official name is Republic of China, or R.O.C.
China's official name is People's Republic of China, or P.R.C.
China is often referred to as "The Mainland" or "Mainland China".
1- Different travel visas.
If you want to travel to Taiwan you need to apply for a Taiwanese visa at one of the trade offices located outside the island. Because of pressure from China, most countries don't allow Taiwanese embassies or consulates to be established.
You need a Chinese visa to travel to Mainland China. You cannot travel to Taiwan with a Chinese visa, or vice versa.
2- Different Passports
Taiwan and China have different passports. Taiwan's passport says Republic of China on the cover page. China's passport says People's Republic of China.
3- China is part of The United Nations. Taiwan isn't.
And that's very unfortunate. China has been blocking Taiwan's entry into the United Nations and other international organizations such as the World Health Organization for many, many years.
4- The Olympics: 2 countries... 2 different names
Taiwan is usually called Chinese Taipei in major sporting events such as the Olympics. It's very confusing and misleading. For most people who watch those games, Chinese Taipei must obviously mean China, but it doesn't. The Chinese Taipei team should actually be called "Taiwan".
5- Both countries have their own federal capitals.
China's capital is Beijing. Taiwan's capital is Taipei. Taipei has been the capital of Taiwan since 1885. Before that, Tainan was the nation's capital.
6- Taiwan and China have different money.
Taiwan's currency is called the New Taiwan Dollar. The currency code is TWD and the most common abreviation is TW$.
China's currency is called the Renminbi, which means: "people's currency". The currency code is CNY and the most common abbreviation is RMB.
7- National Sovereignty
The government of the R.O.C., based in Taipei, has had full authority and control over the island of Taiwan since 1949, when the nationalists (KMT) escaped the mainland after being defeated by the communists. Chinese planes, ships or submarines cannot come into Taiwan's waters or airspace.
8- Taiwanese people are free. Chinese are not.
Taiwanese enjoy the same freedom found in western countries like Canada, the States, Europe, or Australia. People can debate policies, vote, protest and write to newspapers or on blogs to express their views even about the most controversial issues.
In Taiwan, there is no such thing as being persecuted or going to jail for what you say or think.
Chinese people live in a repressed society where even the most basic human rights are deprived. I'm not just echoing mainstream western media here...
And Aksai CHIN is also China, Southern Tibet is also China.
Yes, I think this list of China is very long and will grow with time. China must take back a lot of lost territories from other countries.
and give back the vast territories that china has snatched from other peaceful nations because of it being large and opressing other nations.taiwanese dont want to join PRC.then why are you so adamant on making it a part of china against their will.you people are only landgrabbers and nothing.give freedom to tibet,east turkestan.
Pay attention to your own matters. Pls dont just exist on earth. pls start to enjoy/live.
Just empty words because the DPP will continue to badmouth and demonize China in its ongoing independence campaign. This is just rhetoric to display its democratic credentials and possibly to tone down the US/China bilateral tension because the US is probably seeking Chinese financing behind the scenes...either for it's own purposes or Europes.TAIPEI (AP) - Taiwan's opposition presidential candidate has said she is open to the island's unification with China, providing the issue wins popular support.
Even with the condition, Tsai Ing-wen's comments represents a radical departure for her traditionally pro-independence Democratic Progressive Party.

You are nothing but a TROLL, you have no idea of what is Greater China (if you know what this means), and meaning of China. China is not just a political country, it is a continuity of more than 5000 years of national entitly. It can be called by any name in history, Han, Tang, Qing, ROC, PRC, they are all China. Republic of China, and what remains under its control are still China. May be you should look at the official sovereign map of ROC. And Aksai CHIN is also China, Southern Tibet is also China.
Give freedom to India. The regime in New Delhi has failed you. I don't want to repeat what was seen in Jaipur, Rajastan, but from what I know, India's entire government should be hanged for crimes against humanity.
Indians don't share a common race, language, religion, or culture. There is almost no reason for India to exist, other than a shared history of humiliation by the British and the force of arms exerted from New Delhi. On the other hand, China is one nation, one language, one culture, one ideology built on 5000 years of tradition combined with modern science.
Give freedom to India. The regime in New Delhi has failed you. I don't want to repeat what was seen in Jaipur, Rajastan, but from what I know, India's entire government should be hanged for crimes against humanity.
“India conquered and dominated China culturally for 20 centuries without ever having to send a single soldier across her border".
Hu Shih - former ROC ambassador to the United States
Guess that means Jews dominated Europe for 19 centuries because Jesus was a Jew right?
Guess that means Holocaust didn't happen right?
Why are you going against Israel? Are you anti-Semitic?
Do you know what true freedom is? Go to the slums of Jaipur, Rajastan, and tell the father of a daughter who is dying of a preventable illness, with maggots already feeding on her flesh when she is still alive, and he is helpless to stop it because of his poverty, that he has freedom.
india is a slum country
