No progress for the east

Watching the Winter Olympics opening ceremonies. Is it my imagination or has there been no progress in Asian politics?

South and North Korea marched separately, Hong Kong had one freaking athelete who decided to walk under a Hong Kong flag as if she's a country by herself. so... 1997 to 2010, that's 13 years, after "reunification" and she decides to walk under Hong Kong's flag? What kind of reunification was this?

And Taiwan is now known as Taipei? and walks separately?


Sigh....
