I sup****t the independence of Taiwan because I'm a jap and I don't
want strong China with Taiwan trying to nuke us, but if I were
Taiwanese, I would agree with the One China concept, the idea of
Taiwan as a part of China because China is the super power.
Simply the Whites don't want the strong China as well, that's why you
damn it.
