   Body:
Note also that Taiwan is still not really an independant country.

Even the people of Taiwan still voted NO against a true independance.

Taiwan is not recognized internationally as an independant country, but as a self-governed autonomous region of China, with a status quite similar to the status of the Palestinian Authority (which is also autonomous and self-governed, but still not a country). Because of that, Palestine and Taiwan cannot be members of the UNO, but are only observers with a chair and limited rights.

Even the official name of Taiwan is "Republic of China", and all copyright notices on products sold from Taiwan display "Taiwan R.O.C.", and not just "Taiwan" for legal reasons.

So until there's a constitutional change approved by a local referendum and ratified by the Taiwanese parlement, this Taiwanese Constitution still considers the continental area part of the country; given the renewal of threats by China P.R. against this autonomous region, it's very unlikely that Taiwan will change its official status before long, unless Taiwan wants a war with China P.R.

Most Taiwanese don't want a war, but want to maintain negociation with China P.R. even if they refuse the P.R.C. Constitution and want to keep at least locally their own historic Constitution.

China P.R. has already claimed everywhere that any attempt to become independant will be considered as a declaration of war by one of its province; but this is a Chinese claim, not approved internationally, because the UN charter recognizes the right for self-determination of peoples, according to their internationally approved constitution and status: it just happens that the Taiwanese Constitution predates the China P.R. Constitution, and had been approved internationally, so this right of self-determination is recognized by every country except China P.R. and its strong allies in the region.
