hahahahahahha.. now hellomotosxq has got nothing to say!Originally posted by Ponders:Your premise of argument is flawed..
the plate says nothing more than "Taiwan Province", you can't deduce that to say Taiwan isn't or is a country..
Like that you are saying every state in US is a country since they have their Unique plates.
As for whether Taiwan is really a country... depends how you want to define what "country" is.
You ask Chen Shui Bian, he will say taiwan is a country.
You ask Hu Jin Tao, he say Taiwan is not a country.
So how now?
sorry to disappoint you but what you said is retarded.Originally posted by qooorange:Hi chinaman,
sorry to disappoint you. It is named Taiwan province because they consider the other parts of china to be part of ROC. I am waiting for the day when the commies will kill themselves and let ROC take over the mainland.
The Chinese word in question, 'sheng', refers to a province of a nation. The reason why it appears on the license plate of taiwanese cars is because until ROC changes their constitution on this matter, Taiwan remains a province of the Republic of China. The Kuomingtang has always asserted that Taiwan is a part of the ROC, which includes the rest of Mainland China. The constitution of the Taiwan has reflected that since the time of Chiang Kai Shek. In fact, there is an official in the Taiwanese government, Taiwan 'sheng zhang' (literally head of the province), which is distinct from the position of the President of the ROC, which includes the communist-held mainland.Originally posted by Ponders:Your premise of argument is flawed..

The present ruling party is trying to change that but amending the constitution to make Taiwan independent will bring about an immediate military response from China and is not supported by the US either.
The US is a federation of independent states which freely agreed to be joined to form a nation. Like in Mainand China and Taiwan, cars registered in each state or province bears the license plate of the said province/state.
