The whole world knew that Taiwan belongs to China. But USA has passed a law to protect Taiwan for the interest of the nation in order to sale weapons to Taiwan to prevent communism from speading over to the whole pacific region from China.
But time has changed since the Deng Xiaoping decided to open China door to the world up to now a days. We can see very clearly that China is no longer a communism state.
Therefore its time for America to consider to carry out a new policy toward China otherwise USA may result in a lost more gain less situation.
Because there are only 10-20% of 23 million Taiwanese people may be happy with USA continue to protect Taiwan and sell arms to Taiwan in order to support their independence dream. Whereas the majority of 1.3billion Chinese people will be unhappy with America unlawful manner.
Furthermore, USA should remember that during the China internal war, America was fully supported to the K.M.T. government. It was given large number of weapons to fight communist party. But ended up with most weapons dropping into the hands of the communist government. This situation may be repeated sooner or later as its a matter of time only. All the hightech weapons provided by USA may be used by the China army when Taiwan has its reunion with mainland China.
The American leaders should think carefully and cleverly what is lost and what is gain for continuing to protect Taiwan and sell weapons to Taiwan.

保护台湾，失多于得！
整个世界都知道，台湾是属于中国的。但是，美国却通过了一项法律，以保护台湾为自己国家利益，并出售武器给台湾，以防止共产主义从中国扩散到整个亚太地区。

但时移势易，自从邓小平决定打开中国大门向世界开放了市场至今，我们已经可以很清楚的看到，中国已不再是一个实行共产主义的国家。因此，美国应重新考虑实行对台湾的新政策，否则美国可能将在中国会失去更多的收益。
目前只有10%—20%的2300万台湾人民可能会很乐意见到美国继续保护台湾，向台湾出售武器，以支持其独立的梦想。但将有13亿中国人民对美国的保护台湾的政策非常不满。
美国也许应该记得，在中国的内部战争，美国是全力支持国民党政府。给国民党政府提供大量的武器打击共产党，但结果却有大部分武器落入共产党政府手里。这种情况可能会重复，只是时间问题，当台湾和大陆统一时，美国所提供给台湾所有的高科技武器可能会落入中国军队手中。
美国领导人应该认真想一想，如果继续保护台湾，向台湾出售武器，将会是失多于得。

Liu San,
US cannot and should not decide whether Taiwan should be part of China or not.Rather it is for the Taiwanese to decide whether they choose to "reunite" with the mainland.
KMT had requested for US protection since 1949 and as long as long as the present Taiwanese govt. continues to accept this arrangement US will continue to oblige.
US,being the only democratic superpower,will never unilaterally withdraw its military umbrella from Taiwan.China will continue to press for unification but I doubt that it will do anything foolish to upset the status quo since China has repeatedly announced that peaceful development is its goal and strategic intent.
I think the taiwanese are looking closely and anxiouly at the one-country-two-system poltical arrangement that is being practised in Hong Kong.Economically,Taiwan is pretty much "integrated" with China as this is mutually beneficial.
The chinese have repeatedly said that time is on their side and eventually Taiwan will be theirs again but hopefully without the use of force.

Dear Robert.
I totaly agree with you, but since US have no say on "whether Taiwan should be part of China or not."
and "it is for the Taiwanese to decide whether they choose to reunite with the mainland"
Then why should US continue to protect Taiwan and sell weapons to Taiwan ? therefore American leaders
should clever enough to measure what are the advantage and disadvantage to their country if they are continue to do so.

Over time, I have learned that politics is deeper than what we average citizens can comprehend. There are simply too many interest parties involved on all sides (Taiwan, China, US, Japan). In general, US can never be friend with China as China is posing a real threat to US world economic leadership. Japan is never friend with China either and Japan would not want to see China become a super power. However, between US and Japan, there is no real trust either. Now, Taiwan, the little island, however, with strategic geographical position/locality, becomes the influential chess piece on the game board. It has been used for leveraging and counter-balancing by the super-powers in the past.
Sad to say, with the abundance of intellectual and material resources that people of Taiwan have possessed, they lacked the unity and missed the chance to make a difference for themselves in the world platform. Regardless the scandals and fraudulence the ex-president’s family have committed, there are still a majority of citizens continue to blindly embrace their idol, while no true accountable leader has emerged. The citizens are the ones that will take the consequence of the decisions they make. Buying weapons or not, from which country, defending against whom are all immaterial. No outside party or country can determine their fate for them.
Same goes to the U.S., the election on Nov. 4th puts the future of this country in the hand of her citizens. All propositions, including the presidential, either yeah or nah, the citizens will make their choice and they or their children will take the consequence of the decisions they make today.
