I think that the Sinoidiots in Beijing are more and more desparate. They know that more democratic people around the world realize the justice of Taiwan's cause. However, they react to that with more rediculous dictates and threats.
Now, China has said that it will not issue visas to anyone who has "Taiwan" listed as their "place of birth" on their passport. They have stated that this indicates Taiwanese sovereignty. Well, let's ignore the fact that Taiwan is a sovereign country for a minute and examine the rediculousness of this.
Passports do not say "country of birth", they say "place of birth". Anyone can tell you that place does not mean country. For example, on my passport, my "place of birth" is listed as New Hampshire. Granted, a couple of hundred years ago, there was a movement in New Hampshire to declare independence, however, the last I checked, New Hampshire was not a country, but a state within the United States of America. The Sinoidiot Chicoms really need to take a chill here. They are only displaying their own thuggery and ignorance with this kind of behavior.
Their stupidity goes even further. They have tried pressuring foreign governments to not allow applicants for citizenship to list "Taiwan" as their place of origin. They insist on China. The United States and Canada have already rejected out of hand the rediculous request of the bullies in Beijing. Their idiocy is exposed to the world once again.
When my daughter is born in December, her place of birth will forever be Taiwan, NOT China.
