Beijing's top diplomat said that Taiwan's internal politics did not change the "fact" it was part of China, calling efforts towards the island's independence "dangerous" after it swore in new President William Lai.
Then declared Taiwan Independence n see how Mainland China react. Sad to see d end result.. 😢😢😢Chinese fight Chinese.. n d U. S. n Allies will laugh at all our ( I m a HuaChiao ) stupidity. 😢😢😢
PRC got a screw loose meh? For example 少女凱拉on Taobao absconded with e shopper moneys up to a few million rmb. CNA never cover because SEAmoney and Lazada is dependent on Alibaba and the twenty thieves. Sad.🤷🏼♂️
Taobao is a Chinese app, not a Singaporean app, not even worth to be on international news, yet some gundus think all media outlets must talk about them. Come on some international media links for these so called important new that CNA not reporting? Your fave economists something. Another dunno what colors supporter.. Since you love supporting overseas why dun you go fight in their war? Why should any Singaporeans risk their life for others?
The international support may make the people more confident, but in my opinion, there be not much difference in the event reunification takes place. So why border ! Comment welcome !
Yeah, freedom to set up tent cities, have more zombies like in Kensington Ave, freedom to carry guns, freedom to change pronouns, freedom to "shop" without paying, etc
@@ngfookkwai6096 He doesn’t need to. Taiwan is already independent. President Xi doesn’t dare to invade because he would have done it by now. He says this as an excuse not to invade as he is a coward.
This is like you were sold by the man you call dad and he managed to hoax you into believing he was threatened but he will protect you at all costs. However you’ve lost count the numbers of times these man have his hands all over your body while your dad was always too late to the rescue. While you have tried to seek help, all you get were concerns but no actual assistance from anyone as they were all told warned by your dad and that man to stop being nosey.
Something we in the free world have learned for decades now: what the CCP says…and what they actually do ….have about the widest gulf between them, as can be imagined. Basically fierce in the mouth, but gutless. always has been, always will be. And the rest of the world has finally caught on.
Which 'free world' are you talking about??? Free world for who? For the west to freely imposed sanctions on anyone who refuses to obey American rules based orders?, Illegally invade any country with conspiracy theories but walk free without any punishment? Cut off anyone from international financial system when they refuse to bow down before the bully.?? If you are from Asia/Africa, wake up! Stop believing in the western propaganda of Freedom and Democracy. In reality, it is a 'Free Doom' and 'Hypocrisy' for rest of the non-western world NOT at all Freedom and Democracy for us. Don't get me wrong, I'm from a democratic country myself.. but that doesn't mean i will follow the western lies and hypocrisy blindly like many others do. Open your eyes.
Just like a run away kid,now gang up with a group of mafia , going against the father. Still many Taiwanese go over to China on the all soul day to pray to their late ancestors.
Mainland? Are you talking about Mainland Europe or Mainland Australia or Mainland USA? Does Singapore call Malaysia mainland meh? Like it or not; the reality is PRC and ROC are two separate countries! Not affiliated! Using mainland is a wrong term.
Read Taiwan's own constitution. ROC constitution state that Taiwan is part of China --> www.mac.gov.tw/cn/News_Content.aspx?n=FCE654B9A9575A97&sms=26FB481681F7B203&s=4F05BD906B615505 It clearly says that it is a part of China. Taiwan's official name is not even Taiwan. Taiwan's official name is Republic of China. As a matter of fact Taiwan's official name is not even Taiwan. Taiwan's official name is Republic of China. Taiwan's passports, birth certificates, banks, universities and official money all say the word China written on it or the word China in their names. Even Taiwan's military is named after China. Taiwan's military is called Republic of China Amred Forces.
You forgot that US had acknowledged that Taiwan belongs to China. Now US interested to make Taiwan separate from China. That's bullying China. Guess why US so interested to make Taiwan separated from China?
It's the Taiwan Constitution Article 4 to be exact. It's a short excerpt, if you cannot understand with context, don't comment about Taiwan, coz you have no idea.
I viewed Taiwan like a loose screw that China needs to tighten it when time comes. I also respect Taiwan people who are hardworking and smart people. I just hope Taiwanese people are intelligent enough to see China are much better than US.
Speaking as a Taiwanese, it is truly saddening that we've been caught in this crossfire between East and West ever since 1949 and the disparaging tone of 3rd parties calling on China to 'tighten the screw' further contributes to my melancholy. But I guess it makes sense, since the US is the dominant imperial power which has invaded so many more countries than China, and don't we love an underdog story! Now then, allow me to tell you about my perspective. From the diehard Maoist ideologue to the pink-haired bubble liberal, both sides can agree that the issue stemmed from the KMT fleeing to Taiwan and the subsequent events of the 'White Terror'. In the present day, there is irony, since even a 9-year-old who watches the news whilst eating their takeout bento can discern that the KMT/various Nationalist groups are on the CCP's payroll to disseminate the appeasement agenda, exploiting our wishes to maintain the status quo while also sprinkling in some of the good ol' Beijing talking points. I think I speak for the silent majority of the Taiwanese people when I say that we scoff at the Chinese facade of "一家亲" and the assholery of Mainland brinkmanship (one example being the Taiwan Strait Crisis in the 1990s: There is a TW rap track by the title of【我家是瘋人院】that captures the divided opinion of the electorate back then and also today) but also at the dangerous provocation of calling for independence. We all recognise that being the lapdogs of the US will stop the folks on the other side and in consequence, that we will surely fall if the Americans don't come - but also, why should they? All this coupled with internal political problems of unemployment and cost-of-living, the environment is not good, which will only get worse if peace is broken.
China is a hardcore capitalism in case you didn't know. nobody is more money-worshipping and market speculative than the Chinese in PRC. They are more capitalistic than the Wall Street. Why do you keep mentioning Communism?
Taiwan can leave alone by herself if she is strong enough. We are awaiting for the declaration of the independence announced by the Taiwanese "government" 😅
even the US fought an independence war with Britain to become independent, taiwan is naive enough to assume it can become independent peacefully, hahaha, a 3-year-old's mindset.
Let's say for example, your grandparents possess a parcel of land under freehold tenure, holding a valid property title deed that has been passed down through generations to you. Moreover, this property title deed is even recognized internationally all around the world. Now, imagine if one day, your tenant, rent and residing on your land, claims that the land is no longer yours and seeks independence. They go as far as acquiring weapons from external weapon suppliers to thwart your ability to reclaim possession and ownership of your land. How would you react and feel to such a situation?
@@conti-vl6txYou read my mind. I have this thought too. Chan Kai Shek ran away from China to their nearby land, Taiwan, and wants the land of Taiwan as his own. That's considered stealing of a property of China. If I'm "Mr. China", and this man stole my land, I'd sure be fighting back for it.
This lady anchor needs to be re-educated! What “international support” are you talking about. It’s only a tiny minority, 10% ?, actually, only the G7 nations. How many are they?
Although CNX is owned by the Gov't of the LRD, it owns its ALLEGIANCE to a foreign agency. CNX pushes narratives totally contradicting the LRD's One China Policy 24/7/365. The FACT & REALITY is except for eleven SMALL UN Member States, the other 182 UN Member States recognize that Taiwan is a PROVINCE of China. CNX suggesting otherwise is frankly IDIOTIC.
The Chinese people have the best say on the human rights situation in China. China made history by eliminating absolute poverty. China provide the world’s largest education system, social security system and medical care system in China. The Chinese people’s sense of gain, happiness and security keeps getting stronger. China have found a path toward better human rights that reflects the trend of the times and fits their national realities. A Harvard University survey conducted over a period of more than 10 years straight shows that the Chinese government’s satisfaction rate among the people stayed above 90 percent. The US criticized the human rights situation of nearly 200 countries and regions and yet said nothing about the themselves. This is just another case of double standard. The hegemonic, domineering and bullying nature of the US and its selfishness and hypocrisy are on clear display. If the US truly cares about human rights, it should take seriously and properly address domestic gun violence, drug abuse, racial discrimination, frequent schools shooting, police violence and other violations of human rights and dignity. It should face up to and reflect on its intervention operations in other countries and human rights catastrophes resulting from the US provision of weapons and fanning the flames in regional conflicts. The US, turning a blind eye to over 110,000 civilian casualties in Gaza, vetoed the UN Security Council’s efforts for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza four times in a roll. That alone says enough about how little human rights actually mean to the US and how it tramples on them. The world is not blind to US hegemonism imposed on the world in the name of human rights. The US needs to examine its own behavior. It needs to take care of its own problems first, stop lecturing others on human rights, stop pointing fingers at other countries’ human rights record, and stop meddling in other countries’ internal affairs, violating their human rights and planting conflicts and chaos in the name of human rights and democracy.
Compatriots of China and Taiwan on both sides of the Straits should stay vigilant. Now their nation is on its path to rejuvenation. The rise and development of China is leading the community with a shared future for mankind towards a new global order, and this leaves no space for the U.S. hegemony. So the U.S. is doing everything they can to contain the development of China. It has engaged in wars on trade, diplomacy, and finance against China, but all end up in vain. The only card they can play right now is the Taiwan card, because the international community knows that the Chinese mainland regards people in Taiwan as compatriots.
President William Lai of Taiwan did not mince words when he delivered his great speech on his inauguration ceremony. Republic of China 🇨🇳 Taiwan as an independent sovereign nation is a reality and the CCP regime at Beijing must accept this fact. Any use of force resulting in war across the straits will be a disaster not only for China but the world which is watching and will not allow the CCP to alter the present peaceful status quo by force. Any decision on the future of Taiwan must be decided by the 23 million Taiwanese.💪
He referred to Taiwan as the Republic of CHINA. So by his own words, Taiwan is NOT independent, only a part of China that is not ruled by CCP. Any decision on the future of Taiwan, by your reasoning, must be decided by 1.4 billion Chinese. 😊😊
It doesn't matter how many times the Chinese regime repeats the *lies,* or how *angry* it pretends to be, - Taiwan 🇹🇼 is still an independent country..
If Taiwan is a independent country, then why Taiwan was never to step foot inside UN assembly? Even Singapore don't recognize Taiwan... Singapore consistently maintains a "One China" policy and opposes independence for Taiwan. Singapore took this fundamental position even before Singapore established diplomatic relations with the PRC. Just few months ago US Secretary of State Antony Blinken delivered a speech in Beijing that reiterated America's commitment to the "One China Policy". He also say "We do not support Taiwan independence." America has moved away from supporting #Taiwan independence.
The scariest thing about the Taiwan and China issue is that China has NEVER ONCE ASKED the people of Taiwan what they wanted. There are no referendums called by China to let Taiwan decide by vote whether it wants independence or reunification, China has never asked Taiwan how they should coexist and never consulted Taiwan for advice either. If someone wants to make an important decision concerning YOU, wouldn't you want him/her to consult you and ask you about it first? Yeah, exactly.
Even in a democratic country a part of a country can not vote itself independent. The United States, UK, Canad, and Spain are a few relatively recent examples. You should ask the other 1.4 billion other Chinese on the mainland. You can have a vote but you will not win. Sometimes I think the people in Taiwan think of themselves as royalty, who else thinks that 23 million people can decide something for 1.4billion people.
@@user-fd3ld9qc7dmisleading analogy. Sentosa does not have its own currency, armed forces nor elected government or President. Taiwan does since 1996, and Taiwan historically was NEVER and had never been under the CCP jurisdiction.
@@conti-vl6tx misleading analogy. Sentosa does not have its own currency, armed forces nor elected government or President. Taiwan does since 1996 and Taiwan historically was NEVER and had never been under the CCP jurisdiction.
Taiwan is recognised by UN, including USA, as a part of China. So China's actions are understandable. Hawaii was taken, and natives are clamouring for its return . It probably has a case for independence than Taiwan. 😊
Don't forget Okinawa. Japan invaded Okinawa, filled the population with Japanese, and told us the majority voted against independence. Similar thing happened in Falkland Islands.
Tibet was conquered by various parties such as the Mongols prior to the 20th century. In 1720, China invaded and conquered Tibet. Following the collapse of the Qing monarchy, various Chinese territories and local governments such as Tibet and Mongolia attempted to secede from China by unilaterally declaring independence in 1913. Only Mongolia recognised Tibet’s unilateral declaration of independence, whereas China n the international community did not. The attempt at secession eventually failed as the KMT and then the CPC sent troops to recover Tibet. The Tibet separatists surrendered and Tibet was reunified by China in 1950. The Dalai Lama today accepts Tibet as Chinese territory. Only some overseas Tibetan separatists are still trying to secede Tibet from China. Xinjiang was conquered by China in 1755. It also attempted secession after the Qing monarchy collapsed. The East Turkestan Republic was a short-lived satellite state of the Soviet Union in northern Xinjiang (East Turkestan), which existed from 1944 to 1946. Taiwan was conquered by China in the 17th century and ceded to Japan in 1895. In 1945, Taiwan was surrendered by Japan back to China via internationally recognised treaties.
Most of China's territorial expansion, like Inner Mongolia or Xinjiang or the rugged mountain regions, took place when China was ruled by "foreign" dynasties, like the Yuan (1279-1368) and Qing (1644-1911). The story of Tibet is more complex. Tibet was first conquered by China under Mongols in 1244, but "enjoy[ed] considerable autonomy under Yuan Dynasty". In the many centuries since this initial conquest, struggles have ensued over Tibet's domination by the different Chinese governments, from the Qing to the republican government. It was only 1950 that Tibet was formally incorporated into the People's Republic of China. China's claims over Tibet therefore come with a highly contested history. This is a simplification of a rich and complex Chinese history, but the significant grain of truth is that for most of the past two thousands years, the Han Chinese have not been militarist or expansionist, despite the many wars they have fought, most of which were within China
Taiwanese have seen how Japan, S.Korea, and Phillippine been doing under UAssA. Taiwanese have also seen how Ukraine and Gaza been doing so far with UAssA backing. Taiwanese also have seen how China's doing with its economy, BRI, and international dealing. Taiwanese must ask themselves which option will benefit Taiwanese. the answer is clear for those of us who lived outside of Taiwan, but are Taiwanese stupid enough not to realizes it?
The general consensus of mainland Chinese is, no war and no blood shed. The Chinese government has been planning for a much bigger game; while Taiwan is virtually defenseless, it only relies on the US and allies, so China takes out / leveling with the US and allies focusing on the root source of the situation.

"USA dominance", a nation fighting for its sovereignty is really "USA dominance". At least when it's western, whenever an Eastern nation is attacked, I don't see you saying "died for Russian/Chinese dominance"
Agree. Hope the Taiwanese people would wake up and stop voting for U.S puppets. I mean the U.S is not even hiding their true intention for taiwan anymore. These last few years they have openly said Taiwan is a crucial island for their string of island strategy to contain China.
@@yt1536 Funny enough, Taiwan isn't a " renegade province". Taiwan (ROC) is the remnants of the old Republic of China, which was established in 1912. The following their loss in the Chinese Civil War, they fled to Taiwan. So no, they aren't a "renegade province". They're a separate Chinese government, which in fact existed before the PRC was established.
Taiwan is this guy from the family who goes out with family money. With money, it have friends and lots of fun. When the friends have taken all the money, all its capabilities, it will be ababdoned by these friends
CNA, are you really neutral? Why your news covered and interviews always so one sided. Go interview local Taiwanese views too and hear what they says? Media should not be biased.
Relations will get better if US China ties gets better. Given that big nugget of truth. How much is this about Taiwan and China rather than the sino-Anglo tensions.
Will Lai continue Tsai's previous plan to import 100,000 Indian workers to clean up all toilets in government buildings? Millions of young Indians are still jobless, desperately need to work. As India's "brother" Lai shall help, right?
Taiwan can never run away. It's a matter of time it goes back willingly, or reluctantly, to the Mainland. China has really not tighten the screw, because there are many China supporters there. China will only bide it's time, unless some drastic move Taiwan is taking. Today, they have not dare to openly declare independence.
His party only got less than 40% he should let the people of Taiwan to decide and not let the citizens suffer under him after all he's not Chinese blood
What would happen if japan won the war and taiwan was under japan ? Will the taiwanese want china to rescue them and accept the island taiwan as part of china or the taiwanese would prefer to speak japanese and prefer to be part of japan ? History can be different . Therefore in the end also blamed japan for losing the war to china and america that caused internal uprising in china . Meanwhile america waited for the right moment to separate china and taiwan with their terms. America and china will clash soon over taiwan as china military strength is getting stronger. Let them fight over taiwan.
Both lady reporters avoided to mention the sensitive core points that Lai is making real change by linking ROC to ROC-Taiwan to Taiwan, by calling them the equal! That makes Taiwan an independent entity.
They did mention it in a way by showing how Lai still seeks to change the status quo by not recognizing the one china policy and 1992 consensus. They even mention that Lai is actually a bit worse than his predecessor by not mentioning the pre-ww2 map of the Republic of China thereby basically showing that he is seeking to revise history to say that Taiwan was never part of the Republic of China that used to rule the whole of China until they lost the civil war.
Singapore CNA ? can you put in more report why Singapore also recognize One China ? and also explain what is the One-China principle agreed in United Nations ? please put in more history, and background, and Singapore‘s official stance ? so that all can understand more ?
Huh? Wasn’t the one China policy treaty signed between US and China? And wasn’t US that dictated the world to acknowledge the one China policy? So before questioning Singapore’s stand why don’t you direct your questions to the US Government as well the other world leaders that acknowledge that treaty. If you’re unaware, majority of the countries acknowledge that treaty while a handful probably like 12 countries did not acknowledge that the treaty that US and China signed. So many dumb dumb on the internet these days.. instead of directing the question to those directly involved, they choose to question Singapore.

If Taiwan is independent, it will be able to sign a treaty to station US military as Philippines, which violates the agreement of China and US when they established the formal diplomatic relationship in 1979. China insisted this condition when it was relative weak, how you can assume China will accept this change now?
1) In 1894, Japan invaded China and Korea, the Qing govt was defeated and signed the [Treaty of Shimonoseki] to cede Taiwan Island to Japan. 2) During the WW2, at the Cairo Conference held in 1943, China asked the transfer of Taiwan's sovereignty back to China after the war. This content was included in the [Cairo Declaration] and later reiterated in the [Potsdam Proclamation] that it should be implemented. 3) In 14 Aug & 2 Sept 1945, the Emperor and govt of Japan issued the [End War Edict] and [Japanese Instrument of Surrender], Japan surrendered and accepted the [Potsdam Proclamation]. Japanese troops in Taiwan surrendered to KMT General CKS and Taiwan re-entered the territory of the Republic of China (ROC). 4) Soon after that China civil war broke out in between KMT and CCP, the KMT was defeated and fled to Taiwan. However, due to US intervention, the CCP without strong navy at that time has no ability to unify Taiwan. The CCP then established the People's Republic of China (PRC) in 1949. The civil war continues. 5) In 1971, UN Resolution No. 2758 ruled that the PRC had obtained the representation rights and all legal rights originally owned by the ROC in the UN. That means the PRC is China’s only legal govt under international law and is recognized by 181 countries around the world, including the USA. "The USA recognizes the Government of the PRC as the sole legal Government of China." "The USA acknowledges the Chinese position that there is but one China and Taiwan is part of China." Joint Cummunique on the Establishment of Diplomatic relations between the PRC and the USA in 1979. Please refer to President Jimmy Carter's Speech on Relations with China. 6) Therefore, according to international law, international reality, and the wishes of the 1.4 billion Chinese people, Taiwan should return to PRC and the PRC have every rights to protect it's sovereign integrity.
