Taiwan is an independent sovereign country.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Taiwan is democratic.
For many Taiwanese, almost all Taiwanese, we'd like to we say we are a country, and we have a sovereignty of our own.
Taiwan is a major economy.
It's very important for Taiwan to maintain its international contact.
When I was in Taiwan, I was taught in school that Taiwan is part of China.
Free nations of the world cannot allow Taiwan, a beacon of democracy, to be subdued by an authoritarian China.
Taiwan has been so well developed economically. But we are underdeveloped culturally.
There is no question that Taiwan is a state in any political science definition of a state.
Taiwan's democracy has grown very fast and we enjoy a certain degree of freedom, as other developed democracies like the United States.
I think that there is a relatively small number of people who are pushing for independence in Taiwan.
