As for formal declaration, why go through the trouble? Even China immigration thinks we are a different country. You know, Taiwanese are required to get a Visa to visit the mainland? Why if they think we are part of China?

We have basically been independent for 75 years now. It's like a couple that have been together for years and bought a house together. Why have a wedding anymore. Too much hassle.

Hong kong and Macau both requre Visa's to enter and vise versa, its part of the one china 2 systems moddle that they have extended to Tiwan.

They just use their Mainland Travel Permit. Completely different from what we need to do to go into China.
