  • Stolen from one of the top comments on this video, but it’s a great comment I thought worth repeating here:

    “Mr. Rogers didn’t say that you deserve success and material gratification merely for being yourself. Rather, when a world obsessed with competition and material success beats down on your soul, his message was to remind you that you still had one.”










  • They don’t even consider themselves separate. They believe “China” is just in a period of rebellion. Right at the end of the article is your answer: “Until Taiwan formally declares itself independent of the rest of China — or until Taiwan is recognized by the international community as being independent of the rest of China — Taiwan’s status as a country will continue to be questioned.”




  • Basically the People’s Republic of China (China) says that Taiwan is part of China, while the Republic of China (Taiwan) refers to the area under its control as “the Taiwan area,” or “the free area.” It refers to the rest of China as “the mainland area,” which the Taiwanese government has described as being under a “Period of Communist Rebellion.”

    You can read this sum up here: Link.
