COMMENTARY

Ivy 20th October 2011	THIS IS BULL!!
fromhell 20th May 2011	Taiwan is a country.I agree. Chinese are evil.
Taiwanese 15th February 2011	Taiwan is Taiwan. Taiwan is only belonged to Taiwan. No one in this world has right to tell me whom I am.
FyA!!! 5th February 2011	你们这群臭傻屄！操你们妹妹！
I know 25th May 2010	Some people talk as if they walked on the moon - but in real life they don't even look at the stars . I've been living in Taiwan already for 7 years - what beautiful scenery - amazing people - awesome country .
sandra 4th March 2010	Taiwanese terrorism is on the rise the sports field has become a battlefield of imposters not far removed from the pilots killers in september 11 2001 all for the prophet Buddha. Taiwan once scarred for scandalous baseball has done it again, this time in the center of the world, NYC, .
jayroc 21st December 2009	Taiwan is not China
Trent 30th November 2009	Taiwan in its own right is an independent nation. UN could not deny the existence. If UN recognition is the requirement for a country, Switzerland was not a country before 2002( Switzerland joined UN on 2002). The UN recognition is only the membership of an international org, that's it. PS. For the Chinese comes here, please use correct grammar.
Bob 11th November 2009	I just happen to know Chinese and Taiwanese History, and I think that Taiwan is an Independent country, and should remain that way, China would be only too lucky if Taiwan accepted, to join them they just want Taiwan for a big name because Taiwan is a pretty successful Country. Whereas Taiwan doesn't need China!
Chikabonkoi 12th May 2009	Hello~
