Status of Taiwan as a nation and in relation to PRC

While Taiwan's status as a nation remains disputed, it surely satisfies the criteria sufficiently to be included in this category. I suspect most people here on Conservapedia regard it as a more legitimate state than the PRC.

I've placed it in [[Category:Asian Countries]] not because I hold strong opinions about its status, but purely because it seems sensible to include it here.

But I'd welcome an expanded discussion of Taiwan's status vis-a-vis the PRC within the page. --Jeremiah4-22 16:13, 5 April 2007 (EDT)

Since "Taiwan's status as a nation remains disputed", I would assume it does not qualify for this category. If anything, the other article on the Republic of China should fall under this category, and not Taiwan. Scriabin 16:21, 5 April 2007 (EDT)

To state that the Japanese occupation of Taiwan was beneficial is erroneous. For the indigenous, non-Han, Taiwanese people, the Japanese were an enemy (and to some tribes, a food source), and the Japanese were responsible for massacring aboriginal people and banning many aspects of their traditional ways of life. It could be argued that the Japanese occupation was beneficial to the Han in terms of transport, modernisation, etc, however.
