"Thank you too. I think its important for legislators to be clear: whatever the historical anachronisms and competing claims it is a fact that Taiwan has never been recognised as a part of the PRC and historic claims to sovereignty over Taipei never enjoyed legitimacy. As such there has never been a unification to reunify. Predicating unity on a political constitution that was never internationally recognised is misleading"
