Taiwan people not Chinese?

For years now, the present Taiwanese government has been trying to dissociate itself from anything Chinese or China related. From history to language to official monuments, they try to obliterate any linkages or connections to the Chinese mainland. It is as though they really hate the Chinese.

But the reality is different. Taiwanese are investing heavily in China. They are reaping in the profits. Many of them stay in China to oversee their businesses. I don't think they hate China that much.

So, if you are born yellow, that means you are yellow. Painting yourself black or bleaching will not change that fact. In fact, it is not so so bad being a Chinaman. One quarter of the world's population is Chinese. Number means power. This will eventually prevail.
