For heavens sakes, do you want to be free or don't you!

Right now China cannot do shit about Taiwan, it would be the perfect time to declare independance. But instead they are going to screw around untill China IS capable enough to do something to Taiwan.. then they will cause a war if they declare themselves openly to be a free country.

One day after Beijing unleashed angry protests, Taiwan's leader backed away Tuesday from his assertion that Taiwan and China are separate countries, opting for a more fuzzy claim that both sides are "sovereign" with "parity."

I don't know. "Sovereign with parity" is generally thought of to mean independent.
