Jesus, is that all you got?? Only 13, countries recognize Taiwan out of 193 at the UN ffs. They all tip toe around it coz China is so sensitive about the subject. This is nothing specific to the WHO, even our government here in Norway does the same coz it wanna sell fish. The fact that Eric does not known this and feeds into this Cold war ChinaGate narrative is disappointing. I guess our evil NATO Empire is feeling very vulnerable at the moment. Can't win a fair fight?? #WesternValues#GeoBullshit
Taiwan (a.k.a., Formosa), an island neighboring what is now known as China (PRC), was annexed by the Qing Empire about 3 hundred years ago. Then Qing lost a war as well as this island to Japan, and consequently Taiwan became a colony of Japan. Later, revolution happen in Qing, making this empire become the “Republic of China.”
30 years later, China and Japan fought on opposite sides in WWII, which ended in the defeated and surrender of the axis alliance: Japan, Germany, and Italy. The Allied powers temporarily occupied various regions of the defeated countries around the world in order to stabilize the situation. Such occupation, as a matter of course, does not mean possession. China was in charge of occupying the Asian regions, including Taiwan.
At that time, China was also dealing with its own civil war: i.e., the KMT (Chinese Nationalist Party) vs. the Communist Party. The civil war ended with the victory of the Communists, who built the China today: People’s Republic of China, while the older regime—Republic of China—was exiled and fled to the island of Taiwan, which it had been occupying. Thereafter, ROC has never left this island and has relied on all sorts of resources of Taiwan for its own survival.
But the truth is, even though Taiwan was no longer Japan’s colony after WWII, this does not justify the claim of China (be it Republic of China or People’s Republic of China) that Taiwan should become part of Chinese territory, because military occupation is totally different from territorial possession and does not legitimize the latter. Still, ROC has lived Taiwan, used Taiwan’s resources to rule Taiwan’s peoples, and democratized its own government up to the present day.
Ever since its arrival, this ROC regime has never renamed itself as “Taiwan.” On the contrary, it has kept insisting itself as the legitimate government of “China,” kept fighting and struggling against the Communist China, and kept crushing all independence movements initiated by Taiwanese people.
And this, in short, is exactly the reason why Taiwan, pathetically, is still under the name of “Republic of China,” still misusing the R.O.Chinese flag as its “national flag,” and still considered a part of the China civil war. This is also why we cannot participate in any international affair or become a member of any international organization or become acknowledge as a state, although this island is de facto independent. Vatican, for example, is one of the few countries which still has a diplomatic relation with Taiwan; but what Vatican really acknowledges is the Republic of China—as the sole and legitimate representative government of China—instead of Taiwan. Such Vatican-ROC diplomatic relation has nothing to do with Taiwan as a sovereign state.
Taiwan, however, is supposed to be and deserves to be a sovereign state of its own. It is not Republic of China, the old China regime. This is why we need Taiwan independence movements, and this is why we should build an independent sovereign state—a state that truly and entirely belongs to the people of Taiwan, that functions normally and builds diplomatic relations with other countries in the world, and that is no longer confused with any China or any Chinese regime. Taiwan, a colony up to now, deserves its own state.
Im so confused by Eric. He clearly thinks communism and authoritarianism are bad, but wants a socialist to run America……WHAT!?!
Who ya gunna call not China
