Could War Break Out in Taiwan? | ARTE.tv Documentary

Taiwan has almost everything it takes to be an independent state, with a flag, currency, and an army. But it no longer has representation in the UN, and China claims it as one of its regions. Just a few months before the Taiwanese presidential elections in January 2024, ARTE dedicates a special issue to the island. The Russian invasion of Ukraine has raised fears that China could be tempted to emulate Russia and try to take the island back by force.

    Yeah because they're chinese. They speak chinese, their names are chinese, their food and culture are chinese. It's in the chinese DNA and tradition to lead a fruitful life. It's evident from the chinese diaspora around the world. Chinese on the mainland are less well mannered, but you have to remember that most of them were peasants just 30 years ago. With time they will become just like the rest of east asia.

    THe Manchu Empire only establish the Taiwan Province on the western half of the country in 1885 while leaving the other half to other world powers to occupy. The Aboriginal Taiwanese did even sign peace treaties with Japan and the US. In 1895, Manchu cedes Formosa and surrounding islands to Japan. In 1952 Japan renounced Formosa without naming a new receiver of its sovereignty which means Taiwanese people are their own sovereigns, with the Rrepublic of China government as a temporary administrators as mandated by General MacArthur's Gneneal Order number One of 1945. As such, China's claim has no basis in law, history nor reality.

    CCP (The Chinese Communists People) is a group alien with long dead gone Soviet ancestors evil spirit . It is not easy to tell who the Chinese is in China (they all look alike) unless one works in the Chinese Government can tell the submitted one and the dominant one.

    Chinese Kinmen and Matsu are Chinese territory. Those speck of Chinese territory are not Taiwanese territory. Those specks of Chinese territory are China's knee on Taiwan's neck. Neither the "Separate Customs Territory of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu" nor the "Taiwanese Authorities" that administers the separate customs territory is a state. They do not enjoy national sovereignty. “Taiwan is not independent. It does not enjoy sovereignty as a nation, and that remains our policy, our firm policy.” (Secretary of State Colin Powell) China has no legal claim to Taiwan except for Chinese Kinmen and Matsu. Taiwan has not been part of China. Taiwan used to be part of Japan. Taiwan is not separated from China. Owing to a concealed 71 year-long US (SFPT article 23a “principal occupying power”) occupation implemented by the Chinese-looking proxy on the island, Taiwan is currently separated from Japan. Four steps toward a peaceful resolution of the Taiwan issue : 1) Admit that non-Chinese Taiwan is effectively American Taiwan. On April 28, 1952, Japanese Taiwan became American Taiwan, a protectorate or unincorporated territory of the US hiding in plain sight under the rags and tatters of Chinese Nationalism. 2) Invite the Chinese-looking proxy in Taihoku (台北) to vacate Chinese territory Kinmen & Matsu after the inhabitants have been allowed a set period of reflection for deciding whether or not to leave that Chinese territory. Remember that, in contrast to the natives of Taiwan, the inhabitants of Kinmen and Matsu are Chinese by ancestry and by nationality. As a perk to aggrieved Chinese nationalism, transfer to Kinmen the National Palace Museum (故宫博物館) collections. The network of underground military facilities on Kinmen will provide the ideal vault where Chinese authorities will find those treasures when they resume controlling Kinmen. 3) Inform Beijing that once the return of Chinese Kinmen and Matsu under legitimate Chinese control is achieved and China is whole again, the US considers that there is no outstanding issue of the civil war left to chew the fat over. 4) Comply with SFPT article 23 (a) “principal occupying power” clause and put US boots on former Japanese Taiwan, currently American Taiwan. Tsai Ing-wen's 2023 American Taiwan is in the same league a Manuel Quezon's 1934-46 American Philippines. USMC units presently garrisoned on Okinawa in preparation for a Taiwan contingency should be transferred to Taiwan. It is unconscionable to subject the population of Japanese Okinawa to collateral damages. Congress needs to focus like a laser on the currently undetermined legal status of Taiwan and the Penghu Islands. The perennially dissembling weasels at US-DOS should not be left off the hook. Congress needs to demand of US-DOS to fetch from its archives the July 13, 1971 "Starr Memorandum" that President Nixon's Assistant for National Security Affairs Henry Kissinger suppressed at Chou En-lai's urging. Some pointers ---------- Starr Memorandum of the US Dept. of State July 13, 1971 www.taiwanbasic.com/nstatus/starr.htm China Has No Legal Claim to Taiwan by Peter C. Hansen Michael Rubin - October 8, 2022 nationalinterest.org/feature/china-has-no-legal-claim-taiwan-205190 AND “… our policy is clear. There is only one China. Taiwan is not independent. It does not enjoy sovereignty as a nation, and that remains our policy, our firm policy. … it is our policy that clearly rests on Three Communiqués. To repeat it one more time: we do not support an independence movement in Taiwan (Secretary of State Colin Powell’s interview with Anthony Yuen of Phoenix TV, China World Hotel, Beijing, China, October 25, 2004 2001-2009.state.gov/secretary/former/powell/remarks/37361.htm ALSO: Sadly, Taiwan is still not a state By Frank Chiang 江永芳 - Sat, Mar 12, 2005 www.taipeitimes.com/News/editorials/archives/2005/03/12/2003245941 John J.
