Congratulations to the Taiwanese for their wins at Athens: Chen Shih Hsin and Chu Mu Yen. It is sad that the team from Taiwan must compete under the name of "Chinese Taipei" instead of their official name of "Republic of China". Also, it is a shame that they cannot fly their own flag at the games and must compete under a more neutral Taiwanese Olympic flag. I cannot understand how the other countries can allow or sanction the political wranglings of the PRC in the Olympics.
I know the PRC will never give up their claim on the island and the world should prepare itself for the day when military leaders in China give the orders to retake the island. A regional war between the PRC and ROC will ignite a much larger war as other countries are pulled into the battles. I only hope that Japan begins thinking long term and understands what a more expansionist military China means to them. China has never forgiven Japan for the Sino-Japan War and one day, the PRC will get their revenge. If Japan were foreward-thinking, it would be wise to re-arm itself sooner rather than later.
