What Two Factors Stand in China’s Way of Invading Taiwan? - Ivan Kanapathy | Taiwan Talks EP459 

Even the devil can quote scripture

If you love Taiwan , you must hold its stand for the Republic of China against Taiwan independent movement supporting by President Lai.

@@袁大陸 Taiwan President Lai Ching-te said, Russia seized over 1.5 million square kilometres of Chinese territory, roughly equivalent to 42 Taiwans. If China's claims on Taiwan are about territorial integrity then it should also take back land from Russia signed over by the last Chinese dynasty in the 19th century, I agree with the Idea of an Independent Taiwanese Nation, ...unless China takes back all of its ancestral Land back and then Taiwan might go back voluntarily after China outgrows Taiwan's GDP per Capita

@@stephaneric3021 Now Mr.Lai is the president of the Republic of China, has responsibility to ask Russia for returning the occupied land from Ching dynasty. Because the Republic of China is lawful successor of Ching dynasty.

@@stephaneric3021 And unlike Taiwan in which the Manchurians (not Chinese) only managed to control 20% of Taiwan ALL of out Manchuria was controlled at stages.

@@袁大陸 There are no internationally recognised treaties, policies or UN resolutions that state that Taiwan is part of China. Also, historically, China has had minimal control over the island of Taiwan, I will explain further below. Whether Taiwan is legally recognized as a state does not automatically hand sovereignty of the island to the PRC. Now some facts about Taiwan: 1: The island now known as Taiwan was inhabited and ruled by the aborigines for approximately 30,000 years. 2: When the Dutch arrived in 1626 most of the population of Formosa were the Yuanzhumin or Gaoshan people (who have no DNA link back to China) 3: The Qing had minimal control of Taiwan in fact the Qing only managed to rule less than 20% of the island while the aborigines ruled and controlled over 80% of the island. The Qing created a border in 1750 with rocks which was called the Tu Niu Red Line. The Japanese were the first country to colonise Formosa and create roads and infrastructure.. 4: Due to the lack of control, the Qing did not declare Formosa a Province of the Qing until 1895 as the Japanese was encroaching on the island. The island was handed to Japan soon after. 5: Over the past 400 years the island has been partially ruled by 5 different governments but it was only the Japanese and ROC who had full control of the entire island. 6: Historically the CCP recognized Formosan independence. In 1936, when the Republic of China (ROC) was China’s government and Taiwan (Formosa) was a Japanese colony, Chairman Mao Zedong offered support to Korea and Formosa if their peoples wished to gain independence from Japan. Mao’s internationalist position suggested that 1) both Korea and Formosa have a right to independence, and 2) this is based on the right to self-determination. Mao did not claim that Taiwan has been an integral part of China. (look up Edgar Snow interview)) 7: The Cairo Declaration 1943 discussed the possibility of handing the island of Taiwan to the ROC. This discussion required a treaty to become official and was never implemented. 8: The PRC constitution was formed in 1949 yet Taiwan was not added to it until 1978. 9: The ROC were granted a caretaker role of Formosa after WW2 but when the ROC escaped to the island it still legally belonged to Japan. 10: When Japan relinquished its sovereignty of Taiwan with The Treaty of San Francisco after the ROC invaded the Japanese island, China was not even invited. The treaty was signed by 49 nations but both the ROC and CCP were NOT present. 11: The One China Policy, Un Resolution 2758 or the Treaty of San Francisco do not declare that Taiwan is a province of China. There are no internationally recognized treaties, policies or UN resolutions that state that Taiwan is part of China. The only legal way that Taiwan can amalgamate with China is if they agree to a treaty ceding their sovereignty. Whether Taiwan is considered a country or not does not automatically grant China with sovereignty of the region.

Better change the republic of Taiwan !
