Having become evermore deeply immersed in contemporary Chinese culture, I have developed an appreciation for the increasingly stark differences between mainland Chinese and those who grew up elsewhere. It has become clear - as I believe it will to you - that, as much as Taiwan's past might have lain with China, its future - much like that of Vietnam (which also used to be part of China) - lies elsewhere (namely, as a State of he United States).

Like the annexation of Texas back in 1845 and the accession of Hawaii in 1960, making Taiwan a State would aligns with the United States' history and tradition of westward expansion. America never stopped expanding east as its continuing to do so is a historical inevitability.

Recent events further legitimize making the only jurisdiction in East Asia to legally recognize same-sex marriage into a State. The Communist Party of China (CPC) supports Russia's westward expansion, and - as the saying goes - "What's good for the goose, is good for the gander." Moreover, Taiwanese independence is more unbearable to the CPC than merely not administering it is. This resolution to the Taiwan issue not only promotes stability in the Asia-Pacific region but also affirms democratic principles in the face of dictatorial picking of quarrels and provoking of trouble.

Perhaps most importantly, both major U.S. political parties have, in recent years, proposed to the public the accession of a fifty-first state. The annexation of Taiwan into the Union as a State would not only bolster our geopolitical alliances but also help safeguard our economic interests through bolstering the resilience of critical supply chains.

As the possible resumption of hostilities in the (latest) Chinese civil war looms, the relative futility of President Eisenhower's threats of the use of nuclear force in the context of the Taiwan Strait Crisis of 1958 reveals that anything short of annexation to the Union as a State is woefully insufficient. In learning from our history, we must now decline to repeat it and, instead, choose annexation of this (now vibrantly democratic) bastion of freedom.

Tell your elected representatives to pass the joint resolution included below. By signing this petition, you reaffirm America's commitment to "liberty and justice for all." Sign now to advocate for Taiwan's fateful place as the fifty-first State of the United States.

Joint Resolution
To authorize the use of United States Armed Forces in order to annex all the
islands, together with their appurtenant reefs and territorial waters,
administered by Taiwan on December 31, 2025 into the Union as, collectively, a
State, to be called "the Republic of Taiwan," of the United States of America

Whereas, on said date, acts of treacherous violence were threatened against
  Taiwan and the people on Taiwan; and

  States exercise its rights to annexation and to protect vulnerable
  populations both at home and abroad; and
Whereas, in light of the threat to the economic interests and foreign
  policy of the United States posed by these grave threats of violence; and
Whereas, such threats continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat
  to the economic interests and foreign policy of the United States; and
Whereas, the President has authority under the Constitution to take action
  to annex into the Union, by virtue of this act, a State, to consist of all
  the islands, together with their appurtenant reefs and territorial waters,
