US President Donald Trump has cautioned Taiwan against formally declaring=
independence from China."I'm not looking to have somebody go independent,"=
the US president told Fox News on Friday, at the end of his two-day summit=
with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping in Beijing.

Taiwan is an island; it is not a state or a county name. The country=E2=80= =99s official name is the Republic of China. It controls the island of Taiw=
an and claims the entire mainland of China, as well as certain territories = extending into Russia.
In Beijing, there is another government called the People=E2=80=99s Republi=
c of China. It controls the mainland and claims the island of Taiwan.
This situation is no different from East and West Germany or North and Sout=
h Korea, yet for some unknown reason the =E2=80=9Csouthern=E2=80=9D or =E2= =80=9Cwestern=E2=80=9D China in this case is instead referred to simply by = the island=E2=80=99s name.
It's impossible for Republic of China to declare independence from itself.
Can a country even relinquish control or territory to its own province with= out the province even wanting it?
Republic of China (Taiwan) could possibly sell mainland to someone?
