    This thread should have been locked. Why are you arguing one of the most sensitive international political issues on a basketball board?:mad:

    TEXAS is its own country. We just let the US think we're a state so they won't be jealous.:D

    The same goes for Alaska, I can imagine the people of Confederacy fled to Alaska after the defeat in civil war, declared independance and called themselves an Alaskan and not an American. :D

    More than 99% of Chinese in China never been to Taiwan and the China government never rule Taiwan a second. And they say Taiwan is a part of them, how ridiculous. Taiwanese even already elect their own president, where china would never do that. Taiwanese just like the american 200 years ago, the time will come. Stop polluting this board with politic topics.
    Just go for it, Chen Hsin-an and all Taiwanese.

    This is a nice example of what I call the Robbery Logic.

    If my property has been taken away since my birth, and hence I can never exert any influence over it in my life span, does that make it not my property?

    Hell no.

    "Hey that's piece of land my ancesters left me with."

    "Sorry, it's not yours anymore 'cuz you never set your feet on it."

    "How can I set my feet on it when other people living there right now don't allow me to do so?"

    "That doesn't matter, the other people living there are superior to you as they have a democratic government, you are an inferior human being because your government is not democratic. That's why Al Capone can declare independance for his playground if his people sets up some ballot boxes and elect him as the president."

    :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

    About polluting this board of political topics, it's very nice of you to come in, fire a round of shots then call for cease fire. Are you a Taiwanese?

    Maybe you should say Europe also belongs to china since that's the land your ancesters ever ruled hundreds years ago. Arguing won't change the fact. You won't aim hundreds missiles to the thing belongs to you.

    Can you guys STOP talking about those political BS?

    I start this thread to talk about Chen Hsin-an heading to NBA, not to discuss the China-Taiwan issues...:(

    I never seen him play before. Can anyone who has seen him play give comments on him? Do you think he can make it to the NBA?

    cwww used the word "Chinese" to refer to a race/ethnicity, not NATIONALITY!

    Those who are interested in politics please go somewhere else.:mad:

    cwww, I have not seen him play, but would love to, in light of the hype he's got.
