US Or China: Can Taiwan Choose Its Fate? | Insight | Full Episode

- Опубліковано 18 вер 2022
- Following Speaker of The House Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan, China has stepped up its military activities in the Taiwan Straits. At the same time, Beijing is turning the economic screws on the self-governed island, banning imports on Taiwanese produce.
Meanwhile, the perceived lack of US support for Ukraine has left some Taiwanese questioning American commitment to the island’s defence.
Entangled in a geopolitical power struggle between the US and China, the views and wants of the Taiwanese people are sometimes overshadowed. This episode of Insight offers the Taiwanese perspective of what it means to be caught between giants.

Taiwan 🇹🇼 does not need communism nor western influence, Taiwan 🇹🇼 must be themselves one of the Asian countries that represents soft power of Asia like Japan 🇯🇵
if so. why can't you kick out the americans from the okinawa?

Apparently, Taiwan chose not to choose its fate by itself.
Now that isn’t true. Of course Taiwan can choose its future. It has two choices . The first , accept CCP rule and hand give control over to the CCP peacefully or choice 2 is be invaded by the PLA who will take control of Taipei for the CCP. There are its two options.
@@jp95js technically there is the third > Defend your ground :)
Vietnam did when Beijing try to annex it and likewise for Korea or S.Korea (which is among the best net contributor to global growth) won't exist.
T____T It's like asking "Hey, South Korea, you should unite with the North (which is less than 1/10 of S.Korea's growth per capita) and obey the Kim family so he might show you some mercy... Ugh 90-99% of South Korean will reject it regardless of how they feel about their elected official xD
Besides~ Beijing did try in the past which only ended in a total defeat - the aggressor has the advantage of choosing the time but they would normally need x3 times the force than the defender.
It was already difficult enough for Moscow which *was* the world's 2nd in military power to attempt to capture Ukraine which isn't even among the top 12~ when they share land border... cross straight battles will be many times more difficult.
This being said; Beijing on track for a decline due to numerous reasons (most of it was self-inflicted due to wolf warrior, failing to cut ties with Moscow since Beijing (+ many other) assume Moscow would be victorious, ...many hasn't completely forgotten about the 2020 PANDA..., its failure to keep international promise/treaty (e.g HK 50 years no change) or abide by the international ruling (e.g claim over almost the entire China Sea). Might just gamble to attack Taiwan within the next 4 years before other nations boost up their military strength... or at least while Beijing still has the economic might to attempt to do so...
which in my opinion is like Putin risking the entire Nation for additional land that is less than 3% of its current size T____T Risk Big to Win Small, especially when the cost will greatly be higher than the gain =/
@@michaelwang6125 Agreed again and your analogy with North Korea annexing South Korea and the CCP suggesting the same with the Republic of China was on point. 🙏
Absolutely right! Tsai Eng Wen chose war and destruction and deaths.
Hahahaha
I am a Taiwanese youth who cannot agree with you more.
Besides, I am an English teacher who can not find sufficient students so I have also been a janitor for almost 4 years.
Can anyone tell me what does that weird English mean at 19:46?
Taiwan is beyond repair.................
Can someone please explain to me the conundrum I see. The young people of Taiwan want independence but don't want to stand up to China militarily. They say they are willing to fight for their way of life but not willing to go for military training? Freedom is not free. Am I missing something here? Or is the documentary incorrect?
This is very rich coming from someone in an ivory tower lol
Because the United States will fight for Taiwan until the last American, there is no need for Taiwanese to be soldiers.🤣
China now after see the weapons use in Ukraine is pissing itself. Knowing You got the same to use against them is not just a treat, but their doom's day coming. So don't fear a bunch of sissy boys with toys.
@@miaorenfeng1 correction :) many Taiwanese/Formosan are willing to fight :)
In fact... young students were the main drives during the Sunflower Movement when past administrations try to establish closer economic ties with Beijing... aka peacefully selling off Taiwan to China so it can become like Hong Kong...??? Some rather not go for short-term growth if it means increasing dependence on Beijing...

One comment:
The narrator keeps saying “reunification” instead of unification, which is incorrect since the CCP has never governed Taiwan in the entire history.
And for the fact Taiwan is the original government and the CCP are the rebels.
That is not true. You are trying dodge and shift the concept.
China governed Taiwan and CCP is the current legal representative of China.
You could have also said Xi has never governed Taiwan therefore Xi could not have reunification with Taiwan. This is very childish. I am very disappointed with your intellectual capacity.
@@watchman835 are you his dad or something?
@@watchman835 I am question your own intellect capacity. And stop abusing the use of term "China", ROC and PRC are two different country just like North Korea and South Korea, or East Germany and West Germany.
The fact is ROC has rules Taiwan since 1945, PRC has never rules Taiwan a single day.
And yes, Winnie the "Xi" has never governed Taiwan, therefore the only way for Winnie the "Xi" to try to governed Taiwan is have PRC attempt a invasion Taiwan by force.
@@anonymo_use5918 Yes, I could be his dad, but only his mum knows the timing if she can still remember it.
Don't worry my 2nd cousin is in Taiwan. He's from Arkansas so y'all are good.
By any chance, his name is Billy I didn't have sex Clinton?
Chosen freedom. 🇹🇼 always be free.
*civilian safety and non-rape of local women are not guaranteed in the "US Army" package*
Honestly I don't think Taiwan can choose its own fate when both candidates of KMT and DPP party leaders have to pick a trip towards US before they become real leaders. And so do the president of ROC Taiwan.
Of course , the ROC can choose its future . Of course Taiwan can choose its future. It has two choices . The first , accept CCP rule and hand give control over to the CCP peacefully or choice 2 is be invaded by the PLA who will take control of Taipei for the CCP. There are its two options.
@@jp95js Give it a rest, stupid.
The reality here is that China will not invade Taiwan as long as the US and NATO/EU countries are against it.
The CCP will have to go through the US and NATO/EU countries to accomplish this, and they won't poke that bear.
Regardless of what the "official" US policy on Taiwan is at this time, they won't simply allow the CCP to "invade" Taiwan. It really is as simple as that. China is quite adept at its "Wolf Warrior" diplomacy and saber rattling, but if it really thought it could get away with invading Taiwan without encountering a full-blown war, it would have done so years ago.
And, as @Michael Wang astutely pointed out, China was watching closely the results of Putin's invasion of the Ukraine (and the world's reaction to it - especially the West, since the US is moving away from the globalized world it created.) The unexpected results of what was then considered to be the #2 military machine on the planet being taken to school by a rag-tag group of nationalists made for great consternation in Beijing.
As was the world's immediate reaction to it. Russia was able to sustain worldwide economic sanction due to its position as the supplier of oil and LNG to Europe. China has no such buffer. Her position as "the world's factory" is already weakening as we speak, with Western companies looking to other Asian nations to take up the manufacturing slack.
Vietnam, to use an example, took 8% of the global manufacturing pie away from China just this year, and other Asian nations (Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, etc.) are already lining up to woo foreign investment to their countries. And that investment is moving out of China quickly. It was foreign investment that made China into the economic powerhouse it is today, but that can change in a moment.
Just ask Japan.
And lest not forget that time is of the essence here (time the CCP does not have.) The demographics clock has already been ticking for many decades in China (as it did in Japan.) China is aging itself out of becoming a Superpower, or even a regional power capable of launching and supporting such a bold move. And Xi's move toward hardline Communism, and away from Deng's combination of soft Communism and Capitalism is scaring even the most greed-driven corporate leaders.
Had Taiwan not become the sole hub of high end semiconductor output worldwide (or China figured out how to produce high end semiconductors) and the South China Sea not become an avenue for 3/4 of the world's shipping lanes, the West would have had little interest in any of China's claims in the East.
Problem is, the West will not allow China to disrupt the supply of semiconductors, nor take control of the shipping lanes in the SCS.
It's as simple as that.
It is not a matter of political, nor ideological differences here.
It is simply a matter of money, as, in the end, everything comes down to.
@@jp95js 台灣只能順應大勢
Invading an island is a nightmare, I wonder how that will go down
China can just bombard them and blockade them from the outside world, as well as shut down their system with cybernetic warfare. Eventually, Taiwan will concede.
blockading it works as well.
@@chuningfeng5786 what sides are they going to blockade? Pacific side? The side where the Philippines and Taiwan has a shared sea border? The only way a blockade will work is if other countries do nothing, LOL
I like to see China try with US Armada on its doorstep.
@@kaunglwin6293 dude China is more likely to win at their step. don't be deceived by America lies. matter fact Vietnam kicked their asses.

@Jack Smith LOL. Yeah, like that will happen.
yet another video that nonsensically reduces a war over Taiwan to a war between the US and China. The war is not a bilateral issue but a political one that pits the democrats of Asia against the communists of Asia. For all this talk about how the Euro-Atlantic advocates for democracy it is actually the Asia-Pacific which has been the most ready, willing and able to die for democracy. This was the case in the past (South Korea is a case in point) but will be even more so the case in the future as the geopolitical situation in Asia gets more tense. The sooner people understands this, the better the prospects will be for world peace
all value, value, come on, you are a monster of value. Totally brainwashed. Singaporean and ASEN countries are all neutral and won’t want to be involved. Cuz current TW government always laugh at Singapore, why Singapore should stand with TW. So just go back to TW and fight for your value. Not just bla bla!
Essentially a Sino-US war, Taiwan is just a geopolitical pawn.

Freedom or Oppression. Do we even need to ask this question?
Depends on political parties for peace talk
Taiwan Should allow U.S. Base.China will be taught lesson..U.S. and Taiwan are close friends
crying indian. develop your tech instead of your hatred.
When Tsai Ing in Taiwan fiddled with her labia with her fingers, smoothed her pubic hair, and babbled, you met Tsai Ing's speaking character to use broken English to form the dog whistle making your delusion and illusions of disinformation, immersing in your hallucinations then you boast your broken English forming a Frog Country Taiwan with an unknown language. First of all, you should know the definition of country and sovereignty in international law that lies on the principle of the Westphalian treaty. Taiwan is part of China and its indisputable sovereignty of China since ancient times. No matter what you call Taiwan, it won't change the status quo of the sovereignty of Taiwan according to international law.
Amazing Documentary 👍.
3:03
It is a good documenyary but I found it a little bit biased.
Why it doesnt emphazie that the Taiwan NEXTGEN FOUNDATION was actually founded and funded by DPP, Taiwan's current ruling party, and the CEO, Mr. Kuan-Ting Chen, is also a member of DPP?
And, at 8:50, the SET TV Station is founded by a highly influential DPP member named 林崑海.
Hard to find a balance documentary on this issue that presents all sides - Pro Independence, Status Quo and Unification.
A balance documentary? Does anyone ask the opinions of Chinese people toward Taiwan?
Poll after poll shows that less than 6% of Taiwan citizens want to be ruled by the PRC. Why does Taiwan, a vibrant, freedom-loving and democratic country with high standard of living of GDP per capita $35,500 [based on IMF report], want to be ruled by the CCP dictatorship? Although we speak the same language, but Taiwanese would like to live with the PRC peacefully as two different and independent countries, just like United States and Canada.
你在想吃屁！
just chill, TAIWAN belongs to CHINA.
"China's final warning" (Russian: последнее китайское предупреждение) is a Russian proverb that originated in the former Soviet Union to refer to a warning that carries no real consequences.
Relations between the People's Republic of China and the United States during the 1950s and 1960s were strained due to the Taiwan Strait issues. American military fighter jets regularly patrolled the Taiwan Strait, which led to formal protests being regularly lodged by the Chinese Communist Party in the form of a "final warning", for their fighter maneuvers in the strait. However, no real consequences were given for ignoring the "final warnings".
The People's Republic of China released its first "final warning" to the United States for their reconnaissance flights on 7 September 1958, during the Second Taiwan Strait Crisis. At the time, the United States considered the Republic of China as the sole legitimate representative of China and conducted reconnaissance flights in waters controlled by the People's Republic of China. China would then record such incidents, and issue a "final warning" through diplomatic channels for each incident that occurred. *More than 900 Chinese "final warnings" had been issued by the end of 1964.*
LOL
China is the laughing stock of the world. Even their only ally makes fun of them.😁😆😂
You are aware that it’s 2022 not 1964 aren’t you dummy?

@@andrewmah5605 Off topic. invalid comment, 0 mark for you.
It is because the Chinese government regards the people of Taiwan as one of their own that this war has been delayed, otherwise it would have ended long ago
No new perspective, no insight (despite the title), no enlightenment, no positive inputs, no kind advice..., just old cliches and cold-hearted war-mongering, sinister instigation, and bigotry.
I figure Taiwan is SMART so they will choose U.S.A
Be strong Taiwan 🇹🇼 from U.S.
Get lost Americans, you are making matters worse. Americans are not welcome anywhere, better wakeup from your America bubbles, things are changing outside your country, all non-western nations hate you. You may think your people are doing the right thing, but the truth is your country's policy is making enemy everywhere around the globe.
leap service is easy, service paid with life is hard
these people that really think there will be no war will be seriously disappointed. what pells say or think does not determine what political leaders do. America is deeply entrenched in the Island. America and the people on the Island will choose war. both will try to achieve their agenda.
China always plays the long game. They can just sit back and let Taiwan and the US for an invading force that is never coming. As long as taiwan does not do anything foolish like declaring independence, china is content to wait. taiwan may not always have this current separatist administration, and they will have someone that will have the balls to kick out the americans from taiwan to maintain the past status quo.
The argument that elderly people in Taiwan want to unify with the mainland for the culture is a feeble argument. It might be unnoticed but the ccp has gutted Chinese culture in the mainland and replaced it with an offensive posture that has no link to Chinese history or tradition. Wanting to reunite with a lost culture is impossible and they are remembering a lost past. Taiwan has the embers of China as it should be still safe on the island. Don't allow those embers to be snuffed out by the pla and ccp. Free China support TAIWAN.
Make a trade, the ccp can move to Taiwan and the free people on Taiwan can move back home and free the people of China. That way the ccp and Xi can rule the island all they want and the threat of war disappears. We can dream! Art

And at same time, look into US debts
The last time it happened was in US 2008 subprime mortgage. Thanks to US
Not a big deal at all.
don't hold your breath. the so called crisis is not a big deal to all who understand what it is about. mortgage remains an outstanding asset for all banks in china as defualt risk is minimum. some people's boycotting mortgage payment is just a way to call on the government to take over projects unfinished by some private developers and the government has started doing just that.

Taiwan should heavily invest in India. India's Vedanta group and Taiwan's Foxconn has signed an agreement to set up a 20 billion USD semiconductor industry in India.

That's why USA is more involved in Indo Pecific. China will overtake USA in 2029 and than USA will have to form a coalition with India to remain relevant in world politics.
@@riktimchowdhury5337 america doesn’t really need to partner with anyone to remain relevant. All it has to do is remove its caps on immigration and its growth will just skyrocket. Eventually the country will realize this but right now it’s not doable because there are still too many nativists in the us. By the way this is also why China isn’t going to overtake the US. Without immigration it does not have any hope of reversing its population decline

Pushing these issues to the forefront of people's and politician's minds should prove positive in the long run as these problems don't simply go away, they need to be dealt with.
Who would of thought that in the wake of Trump's terrible foreign policy important decisions would need to be made. Maybe he is a stable genius.
In a way that's true, but I don't really agree with accelerationist views, simply because there could be a lot of victims in the events that follow. You may not be one of the victims, so you can just see it as a logical or inevitable move. But if you live in Taiwan, you might be more scared of what will happen to you and your family. You may still be happy about the support from the US, but it's not that simple, because Taiwan is still a pawn caught between 2 bigger imperialist countries.
@@lalakuma9 it is true, and I meant no disregard for other people's suffering.

Measuring the per capita income of Taiwan with the entire of China is just stupid as China is so huge with a huge rural landmass, the correct measure will be comparing Chinese regions with similar population size with a similar level of urbanization, for example, the entire region of Shanghai got a population of 30 million greater than Taiwanese population of 24 million and its per capita income ($34,000) is similar or slightly higher than that of Taiwan.

The US should mind its own business.
CNA isn’t helping world peace by producing this negative report; the United States is not vying to dominate over China; “We the people of the Republic of the United States” are one of a free nations where democracy thrive; we don’t produce threats to anyone like communist China does; we provide help to fellow democracies; we help to those who wanted them as our own national security demands it! Communist China on the other hand always wanting to invade other people lands to kill people; Lands like Tibet and Taiwan, and Hong Kong and Vietnam because only through war and bloodshed that the communist China would be able to stay in power; communism exist only to make war and people suffer; the Ugglar people of China China’s Xiangchiang have suffered in every cruelty only the communists can do and have been doing! CNA is so wrong to promote the demented views of the totalitarian communists while Taiwan is suffering the threat of war from those barbaric communists who even suppressing their own countrymen on their own land! It’s probably better if you didn’t do this report as you are just putting more fuel to this demented fire that should not have started in the first place; the People of the United States are always seek peace for a more peaceful existence of our people we prefer more friendly nations to do business with us and those who avoid war and aggression toward their neighbors; make for better business growth! So we prefer that Taiwan to be self determining as people Republic of Taiwan and none of any one else business; CNA need to stop pushing the issue; you are not helping the world any!

It seems any report CNA do about or involve communist China CNA always report the communist China in a positive light! That is just dementing.

I watched the entire documentary and sadly i would have to say it failed to reflect the fact that the incumbent government DPP is the one whom started provoking China and instigating violence cross-strait. And the documentary conveniently only selected few viewpoints from the KMT party whom advocated peaceful resolution with China. As a Taiwanese, i know the war with China will be a fratricidal one, we need to do everything we can to seek mutually beneficial resolutions instead of starting a meaningless war. One thing for sure, DPP keeps chanting "抗中保台" will surely get them the war they wanted it.

现在台湾又陷入口水战中，各种抹黑、偷拍、造谣，台湾很喜欢标榜自己比美加英这些发达国家还要“民主”， 但是绝对的民主意味着超级低的效率。 台湾最近有什么新的产业规划？ 有什么长期愿景？ 每上台一个新政党，之前政党的政策几乎作废。 2049 年前国共内战绝对会结束，要说谁是最大的贡献者，我想李登辉一定是名列前茅的�

1) status quo. Stay as Republic of China and basically do everything they want to do. Buy arms, talk dirt on mainland china, continue to have their own democracy. But not recognise as a country in UN.
2) become "taiwan". And be prepare to finish the civil war that has been ongoing since 1949.
Honestly speaking even if mainland china suddenly becomes a democracy. Taiwan will have lots of excuses for not wanting to join the new republic of china.
exactly, the rulers want their power retained and they brainwash people for that purpose, it's not different anywhere in the world.
The problem is Chinese government is against Taiwan’s status quo under Xi’s leadership. Your 2 scenarios are now both deemed “台獨” which is “Taiwan independence” by Chinese government.
That’s why Taiwanese people tend to be more hostile and aggressive toward China in recent years.
@@wideputin5194 The OP is right. Ma was on good term with China. Thing were going well until Tsai took over. but I think it is beyond Taiwan. Biden basically said in this video US wants China to stay poor. If China reach parity with US per capita, its economy will be 4X US. With Taiwan that might happen.
@@wideputin5194 @David Wong official name of Taiwan government of republic of China
Exactly, Why let The US con your money by buying more of their arms? Taiwan doesn't stand a chance of fighting China. Hence, The number of fighter jets Taiwan has and
the number of fighter jets China has...? Why isn't the US selling to Taiwan their F35 fighter jet? Here, we talk about conventional warfare only and not nuclear warfare yet?
I was puzzled when Elon Musk made a remark that Taiwan's weapon (fighter jet) is going to shock China. If he talks about Tesla, then I may believe him. Peaceful reunification
is the best solution. God Bless China and Taiwan 🙏
INDEPENDENT TAIWAN 🇹🇼
INDEPENDENT CHINA to reign in the exiled deserters 🇨🇳
Taiwanese don’t want independence. We are the descendants of Chinese. Taiwanese and China are one family. We want Tsai Ing-wen to step down. 台灣人不要獨立，只要蔡英文下台!
That's the U.S.'s secret goal.

i see.
CNA is very biased, the framing of the entire issue for starters. Taiwan is not "caught in between" the US and China. The Republic of CHINA (Taiwan) has been a country since its founding in the early 1900's. It was Chaing Kai Shek, the Leader of China during World War 2 who retreated to the island of Taiwan after his defeat to Mao and his communist (CCP). The CCP has NEVER governed the island of Taiwan, not for a minute. China says the own the entire South China Sea and all islands therein. The US answered the call from another sovereign democracy for help. The 9-Dash line is the biggest joke that a country has ever put forward. The Communist on the Mainland claims many lands that they have never occupied, large swathes of India, Pakistan, Russia, Mongolia, Kazakstan, and many more. The CCP is a dirty red stain that the US should clean from the Globe. China comes up with so much diplomatic trash it's hard to take anything they say seriously. And if you thought that Putin was a paper tiger, wait until you see China. They are the biggest Paper Tiger in history. Al their equipment is garbage, never field tested. Morale is garbage as the soldiers are fighting for nothing more than "The Party". And tactics are trash. It's basically "you men run towards that machinegun", Full frontal, human wave attacks, i.e. Korean War. Please China attack Taiwan, so we can put an end to the Mao Poser, Xi PingPong and the rest of the sheep that follow him around.
What you said is based on your anti China sinophobic thoughts not based on facts. Taiwan is part of China so go cry about it
I’m glad you said this because I was about to post something similar.
@@mountaindragon7289 so cite some proof your opinion is worth zero as mine is. I gave you historical fact. I don't like communism. I think it robs humans of their humanity AND DIGNITY. I think rule by 1 man is not good. People have a right to a say in thier own lives, not having The Party pound propaganda into thier head 24/7. Xi is a great example of why Communism will never work. He thinks he knows what is best for 1.4 billion Chinese. And it's CCP who was crying about Pelosi. Literally crying like babies begging CCP to shot down her plane. China did zero, because they know the US will destroy their regime. They know better, so they bark for clowns like you but they would never attack. And Biden just stated we would go to war if CCP attacked Republic of China. CCP filed a complaint with the UN, that's it!!! Lmao cowards! Lol

The question should be addressed back to her.. Where will your family be when China reunited with Taiwan. All the treacherous and unforgivable policies that she has done to disunited China. Do you think the national Law will not be effected thereafter.??? A Chinese will always be a Chinese who held their motherland dearly and cannot be devoid of love and devoid of compassion...

It is cowardice. Let somebody fight the war for us.

Sad to see chinese killing chinese. Maybe xi should think of that
Status quo is the best solution between the PRC and the ROC. It's pretty simple, no Taiwan independence, no war.
The comment that saves my day, bro
I don’t think Xi Jin Ping agrees with you.
You seem to be a bit naive. It's China who puts pressure. China cannot live with the status quo. Taiwan can live with Status quo another 1000 years.
So who is running out of time ?
Another view of Taiwan: ua-cam.com/video/aFkOgAhOoiU/v-deo.html
It cannot be status quo anymore cos China seems so desperate for reunification which Taiwan has every right to reject it and protect its democracy so at best just leave Taiwan alone
Taiwan need to build more long range ballistic missiles that can hit Beijing, Guangdong and Shanghai and all the the strategic military area.
Agreed . Of course Taiwan can choose its future. It has two choices . The first , accept CCP rule and hand give control over to the CCP peacefully or choice 2 is be invaded by the PLA who will take control of Taipei for the CCP. There are its two options.
Are you part of 1450?
@@jchanmcse Haha, 1450 is pathetic compared to the millions of Wumao that the CCP has at its command. Silly Han people of Taiwan think they can stop the CCP from taking control of Taipei soon. Han people are Chinese and China is ruled by Xi Jinping. The glorious PLA under the instructions of the General Secretary of the Party will destroy Taiwan and the Americans and their Allies , if they try and stop them.
yea but none of the places mentioned are "strategic military area".

Jai Hind !
Taiwan was a region of China that fought to become China´s government and failed. The Chinese Civil War has not ended as the US has intervened first with threats of nuking China then later by establishing an agreement of strategic ambiguity, our as the Chinese may put it , “Americans speak with a forked tongue”. The US wants to restore Taiwan to nation status by incrementally involving Taiwan in international affairs. It does this by saendimng its leaders to establish relationships with Taiwan amnd pushing Taiwan into intyernational forums and committees. China sees the trick and complains practically daily about US transgressions. As time passes China tries to involve Taiwan in cross strait trade as well as social and other business transactions. Taiwan has been self governed since the end of World War II. From the perspective of UN guidelines, Taiwan should be given the option of independence, integration into china as a region, our as a FREE COMMONEALTH WITH TIES ESTABLISHED THROUGH MUTUAL AGREEMENT. TTaiwan and thje US should petition the UN for Free Commonwealth. But the US loses a strategic pawn if that were to happen. But for Taiwan and China this would be the best of both worlds. It will be part of China under mutual guidelines. But it will be free on the world stage, and recognized by The UN.
You still have communist-imperialist ideas. The liberation of the mainland and the restoration of the Republic of China depend on the core democracy of democratic countries around the world and the resentment of Chinese people at home and abroad against the feudal dictatorship and communist bandits. If the Republic of China can liberate the mainland, it will be the pride of the Chinese nation and the beginning of a peaceful and prosperous era for the world.你還是有共匪帝國主義思想。 解放大陸、光復民國取決於世界各地民主國家的核心民主主義與海內外華人對封建獨裁共匪的怨恨。 中華民國若能解放大陸，便是中華民族的驕傲、也是還世界一個太平盛世的開始。

Since Taiwan island was returned to China in 1945 by Japan, it belongs to every Chinese people. How could those so called Taiwanese think this is their territory?
If one day China has to take back this territory by force, every Chinese will strongly support this action.

Taiwan has always just been a pawn. Don't think they can save themselves now, after falling completely to the US side. Whether they get attacked or maintain the current status quo, all depends on American foreign policy. Good luck to the Taiwanese.
Actually no.
China cannot live with the status quo. They are the one's who want to get control of the island.
Taiwan can live with the status quo for another 10000 years.
So who is in a hurry?
@@Sp3ll633 China is perfectly fine with the current status quo with Taiwan, as their focus is on being interconnected with the world and growing their economy.
It is the US who wants to disrupt the staus quo and fan a war cross-straits becos they would like to impede the growth of China. They are alrdy starting to arm up the TaiwaneseIt is really clear as day.

Of course you would wanna arm up Taiwan. I would do it too.
You see Communists are quite coward people. They let down KMT during by not fighting against Japan. And now the Communists say:" we strongly condemn arms sales to Taiwan because we want to annex Taiwan without expecting any counter strikes"
See it like this my friend. Only the status quo or Taiwan independence can guarantee long time peace.
Imperialism by China will bring WW3

Taiwan will surely be glorious once it reunites with the Chinese mainland, where it truly belongs.
@@martynblackwell8108 It's already Glorious without that. But as long as it unites the right way NOT by anything even close to the CCP but to Taiwanese standards of Democracy like it has it today than yes even more so 😁
China should consider retake Siberian and Far Eastern part of Russia which was annexed by Russia. That area got vast resources and oil. This is the best time as Russia cannot fight two frontal war and weak now. Forget about Taiwan about this tiny earthquake and typhoon prone island 😜

An American general during WWII once famously said (and I'm paraphrasing here), "Invading a country is easy. Holding it is another conversation altogether." Taiwan, if they are bold (or stupid) enough to invade, could very well turn out to be China's Vietnam.
The difference here is that China is lawfully recovering a piece of its territory that was removed from it by past invaders and landgrabbers by colonising powers. A country can't invade it's own territory as it always has the legal right and responsibilty to rectify the past wrongs perpetrated by other lawbreaking countries!
