I Am Chinese

Ok so I choose 2 groups on here that I am Chinese and I am Taiwanese. It is very difficult to explain this to people who do not understand the political history of Taiwan and also the ethnic history of the people. I am Chinese ethnically, the same as any other Chinese person in the world, whether born in China or born anywhere else. In Taiwan 95% of people are Chinese/Han.

But, I am proud of Taiwan, the Republic of China. I believe in Taiwan as the real and legitimate Republic of China but I am also realist about this and I understand that perhaps in my lifetime Taiwan will become again part of Peoples Republic of China. For my parents and grandparents they do not want to hear this. And I am brought up to believe in Taiwan as the Republic of China. It is shame what is happen in history, but of course now is about what is best to do.

I am proud of our Presidetn Tsai Ing-Wen and her stand on Beijing, Taiwn is ok to respect PR China and to coexist. Maybe this is best solution if only Beijing can do the same for Taiwan.
