Taiwan is an overseas territory under the jurisdiction of the United States Military Government (USMG). The Republic of China is (1) a subordinate occupying power, beginning Oct. 25, 1945, and (2) a government in exile, beginning mid-December 1949.
By virtue of living in an overseas territory under the jurisdiction of the United States, the Taiwanese people are entitled to fundamental rights under the US Constitution.
If President Bush and Secretary Rice would just announce the truth of all these matters to the American public, we could stop arguing about whether Taiwan is qualified to join the United Nations.
As "occupied territory" Taiwan of course is not qualified to join the UN, because it is not a country !!!!

It is perfectly reasonable for the ROC/Taiwan to be denied membership in the United Nations. After all, ROC/Taiwan is not a country. It does not meet the Montevideo Convention's criteria for statehood. See --
http://www.taiwanadvice.com/harintmcexc.htm#part2
Taiwan remains as "occupied territory" in the present era -- in other words it has not reached a "final political status." This means that the status of Taiwan is "undetermined," which again (under international law) means that Taiwan is occupied territory.
ROC/Taiwan is not a state. This is confirmed by the following recent announcements --
(A) In July 2007 the Congressional Research Service (CRS) published a report for the US Congress entitled "Evolution of the One China Policy." In the Summary at the beginning of that report the following points were made –
(1) The United States did not explicitly state the sovereign status of Taiwan in the three US-PRC Joint Communiques of 1972, 1979, and 1982.
(2) The United States "acknowledged" the "One China" position of both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
(3) US policy has not recognized the PRC's sovereignty over Taiwan;
(4) US policy has not recognized Taiwan as a sovereign country; and
(5) US policy has considered Taiwan's status as undetermined.
(B) Aug. 30, 2007 Dennis Wilder, National Security Council (NSC) Senior Director for Asian Affairs said: Taiwan, or the Republic of China, is not at this point a state in the international community. The position of the United States government is that the ROC -- Republic of China -- is an issue undecided, and it has been left undecided, as you know, for many, many years.

If the United States had the right to start a war to gain its independence from Britain, then the Taiwanese people should have every right to peacefully declare their own sovereignty. The US and the EU have to have the spine to back up their talk about democracy, liberty, and human rights by punishing China economically (cutting off trade, boycotting the 2008 Olympics, etc) if Beijing tries to interfere with Taiwan pursuing a course of peaceful self-determination. Let the Taiwanese people decide, not the punks who run the PRC.

China needs to take it down a notch and let Taiwan go peacefully. I look forward to Taiwan's eventual independence.
Problem right now is that China holds a veto at the UN and can easily stop Taiwan's admission.
To answer your question, you'd find that most Americans and Canadians support a free and independent Taiwan.

I think you need to correct your English before you post your questions.
"The Republic of China (Taiwan) WANTS to be AN independent country, and be a MEMBER of the U.N.
What do you think OF these ideas?"
I do not support Taiwan as an independent country, nor do I think the Republic of China should be given membership status in the U.N. now.
