  1. If Taiwan were a sovereign nation, then its coastal waters would be coincidental with China's, so again, your claim is spurious. But as Taiwan is not sovereign, has never claimed sovereignty, and has never been recognized as an independent sovereignty, the point is moot.
  2. Pro-imperialism is supporting the European-imposed order. Taiwan's separation from the mainland was a European intervention - literal imperialism. Ending the separation is, by definition, anti-imperialism. Could Taiwan secede from China eventually? Sure. Not now, though, when secession from China guarantees nuclear encirclement by imperialists.
  3. I don't have feelings about countries' reasons for Taiwan relationships. I am just reporting history. You can make stupid claims about feelings but it doesn't change the fact that your argument has no basis in reality.
  4. The relevancy is to disprove your saying that Taiwan isn't recognized internationally as a part of the nation of China.

If Taiwan were China why do mainland Chinese need a passport to go there?

It's like saying north and south Korea are the same country because, historically, they used to be the same country.

They're not the same country.

Korea is one nation, though there are two governments. Same deal for China. Eventually both will reunify.
