When using standards based on politics, you interfere with politics -- you
say that whatever the big guys do is OK. Hiding behind such standards is
plain stupid. This is why law is so important.

What I meant to say is that I don't know the whole history and politics of
China and Taiwan. What I do know is that their issue is quite different
form the one that Greece is having with Macedonia. That is why these two
should not be compared the way some people on those debian lists did. The
statements such as "Why Taiwan this, when Macedonia that" should be
avoided. People who write such statemets are trolls.
