TAIPEI -- Taiwan belongs to a Chinese nation and should seek a peaceful political union with "the mainland," an influential opposition lawmaker said in an interview.
"We are Chinese," said Weng Hsiao-ling, a Kuomintang (KMT) lawmaker nicknamed "Goddess of War" for her willingness to confront opponents. "The Republic of China was established before the People's Republic of China. Why did the People's Republic of China say that they are called New China? [That's because] we are Classic China."
