      In your country China is probably neutral towards Taiwan. O no never mind, you can't be neutral to a part that already 'belongs to you' lol

        Taiwan is historically and culturally Chinese, but China has made it very clear they have no intention of reunifying by force, if they wanted to they could have done so already. As with all of our diplomatic relationships the US doesn't actually give a shit about Taiwanese independence, we just want a staging ground close to our biggest global competitor so we can more conveniently meddle in regional affairs for our benefit.

          Taiwan is historically Polynesian.

          Polynesians are an ethnolinguistic group comprising closely related ethnic groups native to Polynesia, which encompasses the islands within the Polynesian Triangle in the Pacific Ocean. They trace their early prehistoric origins to Island Southeast Asia and are part of the larger Austronesian ethnolinguistic group, with an Urheimat in Taiwan.

          https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynesians

          Taiwan is not only staging ground but also prevents Chinese access to the Pacific during times of war. It's the only place for a deep water submarine base for China.

            You obviously didn't bother reading the wiki article you posted, it says absolutely nothing about Taiwan being culturally or politically associated with Polynesia at any point in recorded history. What it does say is that the prehistoric origins of their language group can be roughly traced to/through Taiwan, for a detailed explanation try clicking the link in the first paragraph for "urheimat" and actually reading it too.

            Preventing China from doing things in China that China wants to do would fall neatly under the category of "meddling in the region to our benefit" which I mentioned before.

              I don't really disagree with you. To me the Polynesian backstory highlights that it is all just politics.

              If you like to argue the history of history then there most likely are no records of Polynesians in Taiwan but there could have been.

              from migrations out of Taiwan between 3000 and 1000 BC

              The oldest attested Chinese writing comprises a body of inscriptions produced during the Late Shang period (c. 1250 – 1050 BCE), with the very earliest examples from the reign of Wu Ding dated between 1250 and 1200 BCE.[
