Taiwanese have to include the whole China in their constitution, not because they want to, but because they have to. Otherwise it would be seen as a declaration of independence by China and risk an invasion. Most Taiwanese don't really care about China aka Chinese mainland.

16:25 "If you asked the Ukrainian people a month ago, they wouldn't have been prepared either." I'm not sure how true that is. Part of Russia's problem is that the lower intensity war started 8 years ago, so Ukraine has been militarizing and training (and fighting in actual war is a kind of training) since then, and they were concerned about Russia's military build-up on their border for about a year before the actual invasion, doing things like amassing lots of weapons from sympathetic countries. Thus, when added with some more specific things I've seen about Ukraine, I think they were about as ready for invasion as you could expect them to be. (I guess there are more extreme things they could have done, like building massive walls or premptively arming and/or evacuating everyone, and there certainly were plenty of people who, like me, were not expecting an invasion right up until it happened.)

In Taiwan, it’s 陳. Other variations of the same surname are Tan, Chan, Hartanto… In China, overall, Chen is ranked the 5th most common. While in Vietnam, it is ranked the second overall. Btw. Because of the old KMT’s policies, Taiwanese aboriginals had to adopt Chinese names after 1945. Of course some Taiwanese aboriginals adopted Chen as their last names. Are they related to any people in China? They are even not related to other ethnic Chinese Chen family in Taiwan. In the video, that old guy’s story is true, but it applies to his family only.

It doesn't matter if Ukraine is recognized as a sovereign state by the UN, it only matters if Russia recognizes it as a sovereign state which unfortunately it doesn't, just as for Taiwan it really matters what China thinks of Taiwan and not what the rest of the world thinks of them bc it's China their only threat not the world. What the world around thinks about Ukraine is of no importance to Russia and short of nuclear bombing some sense into Russia there's nothing the world can really do. The comparison is actually incredibly apt. Russians consider Ukrainians ethnically as Russians who invented a new identity out of the blue and were let astray by the west, same as what Chinese think of Taiwanese. Just as they consider Belarusians part of the Russian world, too.

I am a Chinese mainland and my girlfriend is Taiwanese. She told me that Taiwanese people have completely considered themselves independent. If China starts a war, then Taiwanese will resist the last one. To be honest, I do not agree with her. Because now is the missile age. If China really wants to solve the Taiwan issue, it will only need some missiles to solve it. Unfortunately, the Taiwanese are too naive. And deliver their own destiny to the United States, which will run away at any time，However, there will be many problems after the war. First, there are many Taiwanese in China. Maybe those Taiwanese will establish a Resistance Army in China after the war, which will have a certain impact on China. Second, western countries will not intervene in the war, but will take the opportunity to impose economic sanctions and blockade on

1:37 I wonder if this fellow is aware of 2014 annexation of Crimea. Russia and Ukraine have been unofficially in War for the last 8 years. So I wouldn't necessarily call it an impulse. This is mostly about leverage, and natural resources, in this case wheat, natural gas and oil. In addition to this, Ukraine closed the river leading into Crimea after it was annexed which caused huge agricultural problems and Russia was forced to import fresh water into Crimea. Which is justified and understandable considering Russia is the aggressor.

Yea, it's almost as if there is no reason for russians who have been treated poorly by ukrainian government to want freedom from it... HMMMM. Interesting point. Too bad it falls into water. Ukraine openly supports nationalist paramilitary groups for the last 20 years and tons of incidents over the years where russians in ukraine suffered just shows how much Ukraine doesn't care about minorities, when they are just that. "Kijev Rus" or kyiv russians is what ukrainians are by history... This is just blatant neonazism... Could Russians leave Ukraine? Sure. But why would they? It was part of soviet union and it still is homeland to many russians no matter how you look at it(unless you look from logically false viewpoint) Moscow office is not the sole courier of russian culture, homeland and traditions. For all it is, ukrainians, especially after euromaidan government came into being(the moment people stage coup d'etat they are not innocent bystanders and are as responsible as politicians/leaders) are to blame for the escalation of the conflict. And Zelensky just shows his retardation/stupidity from day to day. He didn't have Crimea before the "invasion" and refused to rework/restate Donbas region and their autonomy. He is going to get out of the "invasion" still without Crimea, all while losing Luhansk and Donbas AND millions of lives. It is not even a discussion anymore. He openly said on multiple occassions during negotiations how he didn't plan on making any kind of "peace"...

Well, the thing is Russia and Ukraine are two independent countries whereas Mainland China and Taiwan are not, at least de jure.

I only learned recently after reading a biography of Chiang KaiShek and the Chinese Civil War, that actually China before 1949 could have been divided at the Yangtze River (so North Communist China and South Nationalists China) but Mao refused to listen to Stalin's recommendation to divide China, and the fact Chiang was unwilling to give into peace conditions with the communists. Taiwan was the only remaining solution as the nationalist lost region and city after the other. Interestingly enough, because China came under rule by the communists, this provided the catalyst to not repeat the fall of China to Soviet influence and for the American domino theory that would be the basis for Korean and Vietnam wars.

Nikapika "Taiwan" has never been a country. Its governed by Republic of CHINA, a CHINESE state that claims to be the country called CHINA. And even once sat in the UN representing the country called CHINA. The matter between Republic of China and Peoples Republic of China is a matter of civil war. Civil war means war within the SAME country. Its not 2 different countries

Taiwanese people sounds a bit immature tbh…my general impression. Are u guys doing interviews at or near campus?

Taiwanese are being used, but they are not willing to explain the reality. The vast majority of Chinese people regard Taiwanese as compatriots and brothers, but Taiwanese regard mainlanders as enemies. This is the pollution of the Taiwan government

It’s a totally different situation here. Taiwan is not a member of the UN and almost all UN members recognize it as part of China at least formally. There will be no legal basis to intervene if a war breaks out since technically it will be a Chinese civil war. The military imbalance here is even greater. Russia is a failing power that struggles to finance its military. China is the largest economy in the world if you consider price levels. The ROC military is a laughing stock of Asia. The “strawberry soldiers” can’t even hold a gun. Bottom line, China can take Taiwan anytime it wants but they don’t need to. Unlike Russia, they have time on their side.

An amphibious landing is much harder than a land one so there is that. And despite the USs growing isolationism I do believe they and Japan probably will support Taiwan. Also look at how much the sanctions are hurting Russia which is a commodities exporter. If the same sanctions where leveled against china an commodities importer it would be much worse, with potentially millions of Chinese facing starvation.

First, the government is fully capable of reunifying Taiwan. Even the Taiwanese themselves admit this. Secondly, China has every reason and necessity to reunify, which is the only way for China to develop. Third, as young People in Taiwan are less and less willing to reunify, the chances of peaceful reunification are less and less likely, and the Chinese are more and more willing to reunify by force (everyone I know thinks that will eventually be done by force). So, I just hope that when the time comes, the Taiwanese government will be smart enough to minimize casualties. I believe this will be done by 2035.

Ukraine is a sovereign country by itself, while Taiwan is a part of ROC or PRC. What Putin wants Ukraine not joining nato is already the case for Taiwan. No foreign military can be stationed in Taiwan to endanger mainland China. So two very different situations for Taiwan and Ukraine.
