Good question.
I had been born in China and raised by Grandparents until 15.
From 15 to 36 served in Taiwan Army for 20 years and 75 days. Total 22 years in Taiwan.
Am I qualified as Taiwanese of ROC?
Stayed in Japan for 18 years and am I qualified as a Japanese?
Now in the States for almost 20 years. You tell me what am I? I am global citizen.
Tolking about demorcracy, I believe I know better than you do.
Without rules of law, demorcracy means nothing.
You have to understand the basic rules of law. You earn your living within the rules
of law. If you can prove you earned your living justifiable and you can enjoy all freedom you deserved. You break the law and you will loss the freedom. As simple as that.
