Description
Taiwan is currently administered by Republic of China, but claimed by People's Republic of China. Some Taiwanese want renaming ROC to "Republic of Taiwan", some Chinese want reunification of China. Taiwan was known as Formosa when it was not part of China, its native population is Austronesian. However, now Taiwan is part of China. Should it be part of PRC, or Mainland China should be part of ROC, or these two states should recognize each other? Independence of Taiwan can be compared to independence of Moldova. Technically the population is Romanian, but they want not to join Romania. (Similar for Austria.) However, if Taiwan joined PRC, it would probably be Special Administrative Region (SAR), same like Hong Kong and Macau. Republic of Taiwan and Taiwan SAR are two final states of Taiwanese political identity. Current state (ROC not belonging to UN and competing as "Chinese Taipei") is transitional. If China reunified, it could prepare for democracy. Current ROC is example of Chinese democracy, so it would not be like Arab "democracies". Possible future flag of united China (whose part Taiwan SAR is) is in SVG file under canvas. It is compromise between this and this , because too much blue is bad, as yellow sun is bad.
