One of my friends is working on a homework assignment where he has to advance the logic of something "very unusual" and "surprising." Since there are many articles on the internet now discussing the fact that Taiwan's true international legal position is that it is "an overseas territory of the United States," I am thinking that he could use this as his topic.
Unfortunately, I don't have all the details on this agenda. Most importantly, I don't have the "step by step" logic to make this into a coherent argument.
It is obvious that Taiwan is not Chinese territory, since there are no international legal documents which can prove that the territorial sovereignty of Taiwan was ever transferred to China in the WWII period. However, the rationale that the United States is actually holding Taiwan's sovereignty is a bit harder to prove. (According to what I read on the web, such an analysis is derived directly from the post-war San Francisco Peace Treaty.)
