Why? I've spent a good deal of time in Hawaii, know quite a few native people personally, and have read up on Hawaii's history. Yet some link from someone that searches out and posts nothing but anti-US articles all the time is supposed to change my mind? I don't think so.
Going back to the actual topic (Remember the topic? About chip availability and Taiwan being the source of chips, and how Taiwan is de facto its own country? Yeah, that one.):
You claim that the US is the reason for Taiwan not being part of the PRC. You also say Taiwan is part of the PRC. So what is it? You can't have it both ways.
Oh well, since you're so well informed on Hawaii, are you denying anything the link says or do you think that's just normal stuff happening there that you endorse?
The actual topic is that Taiwan is not its own country, and you continuing to repeat that over and over here isn't going to change reality. The issue isn't between Taiwan and the rest of China, that can be resolved any time. The issue is between China and US. Right now China expects that it will be able to push US influence out of Taiwan in a peaceful way, and as I've earlier explained, that's precisely where things are likely to go next year when KMT gets in power. However, if China decides they've had enough of US messing around in their country and violating their sovereignty then they will resolve the issue militarily. These are the only two possible outcomes here.
Again, not the stance of the UN or pretty much any other country in the world. You do you though.
It's not just that the UN that hasn't let Taiwan join, it's that the UN along with vast majorities of the countries recognize PRC as the legitimate government, and have embassies on mainland China. Even US does not have an embassy in Taiwan.
Meanwhile, I really don't see how you can draw parallels between Taiwan and Ukraine to be honest. I have to assume you don't know any history of Ukraine based on your statement. During USSR days Ukraine was part of the same country as Russia and people living in eastern Ukraine are largely ethnically Russian. That's why the civil war started after the coup in 2014.
