What do you think of the conflict between China and Taiwan？？?

Question

just express your own opinion.

Answer 1

My opinion, is that I think it's ridiculous. China only wants Taiwan for the money after it showed no interest in the past because it was just a little island. Think about it, why would anyone in the world go to extremes for a teeny tiny little piece of land? Taiwan's already de facto independent...it's the Chinese missiles that are keeping us from formally declaring it.

Answer 2

Actually, the conflict between China and Taiwan is based on a misinterpretation of international law. Both the PRC Chinese (in the mainland) and the ROC Chinese (in Taiwan) actively promote the concept that upon the surrender of Japanese troops in Taiwan on Oct. 25, 1945, the sovereignty of "Formosa and the Pescadores" (aka Taiwan) was returned to China.

However, international law does not allow such an interpretation, and indeed none of the Allies gave this interpretation to the events of Oct. 25, 1945, in Taipei.

The true significance of that date is that it marks the beginning of the military occupation of Taiwan.

Hence, at the present time when the ROC on Taiwan claims to be "an independent and sovereign nation" and the PRC claims to hold the sovereignty of Taiwan based on the successor government theory, they are both wrong.

In the post-war peace treaty of April 28, 1952, Japan renounced the sovereignty of Taiwan, but no "receiving country" was designated. Hence, legally speaking, (1) Taiwan was Japanese territory up until April 28, 1952, and (2) the ROC has never held the sovereignty of Taiwan.

Since the ROC does not hold the sovereignty of Taiwan, so it cannot get into the United Nations. By extrapolation, of course, the PRC's arguments about having the sovereignty of Taiwan based on the successor government theory are also groundless.

But, unfortunately, it is most likely that the governments on the two sides of the Taiwan Strait will continue arguing into the forseeable future.

Answer 3

This is mainly a political conflict, China claims that Taiwan is a part of her and Taiwan thinks it is an independent one. With the United States and Japan involved, that's why it is so complicated. Do not tell me you are freedom fighters, Taiwan is a part of China and will come back anyhow. The thing is we Chinese have to reach an agreement here. Do want Americans get out of this matter and mind their own business.

Answer 4

China has stated that if Taiwan doesn't claim independence, China won't declair war on Taiwan. Maitaining the current status of Taiwan is most beneficial for both USA and China.

Answer 5

It will remain so and the present status quo will continue as long as there is no sincerity for a peaceful solution on the part of all parties concerned, China, Taiwan and also USA!

Answer 6

I think it is a dispute between China and Taiwan. I don't think we should interfere at all. Nor for that matter should we interfere in the Palestinian/Israeli conflict, and so on. It is a bit presumptuous of the U.S. to appoint itself the arbiter of disputes between nations. We say we respect the sovereignty of other nations, then insert ourselves in the middle of their disputes.

Answer 7

The US needs to support Taiwan. China is our enemy, the smiling bastards.

Answer 8

that is totally pointless and stupid...why?bc they both are chinese...why cant they just stay as one happy country?
