Taiwan belongs to the United States?

Simon points to this and says

An incredible article that outlines why Taiwan should be considered an American possession.

Actually, The Horse's Mouth cites another article which begins:

Communist China, the People's Republic of China or PRC, never tires of denouncing Taiwan as a "renegade province" that belongs to it, and bitterly complaining that any attempt by any country anywhere in the world to treat Taiwan as a sovereign independent nation is a gross interference in China's "internal affairs."

This claim is about to be publicly exposed as baseless - for it turns out that as a matter of international law, Taiwan is legally an overseas possession of the United States of America.

Great, like we don't have enough problems in the area with Taiwan being an ally...
