Taiwan is Taiwan. China is China. People live in Taiwan way before Qing dynasty. When Qing was overthrown by ROC, Taiwan was already legally part of Japan. When Japan surrendered, Taiwan was given to China automatically, Taiwan was handed to alliance Asia commander , Chiang kai shek. Taiwan was known as Formosa that time. That’s also why US insist taiwan citizens must be registered as Taiwan but not ROC or Taiwan, China but simple Taiwan. Because Taiwan is Taiwan, nothing more nothing less.
very funny
ROC 1912 established~ PRC 1949 established~
PRC says ROC splits China?
ROC was splitting PRC China before PRC existed?
But 1912 PRC did not exist yet. How did ROC split PRC?
The truth is that the 1949 PRC split the ROC ~ but CCP(PRC) lies internationally~
非常好笑
ROC 1912 成立~ PRC 1949成立~
PRC 說 ROC 分裂中國 ?
ROC在PRC還不存在的時候就在分裂PRC中國了?
但是1912 PRC還不存在 ROC怎麼分裂PRC?
真相是1949 PRC 分裂了ROC ~但是CCP(PRC)說謊於國際~
It is the communist dictatorship that destroys world peace. The Chinese Communist Party has proved this to be true. Tibet, Uighurs, and the next target of CCP is Taiwan. ★★★ We surely crush the invasion of CCP. ★★★
how many people here supporting taiwan knows where taiwan it is? I also bet no more than 50% of u knows where china it is. And the most interesting thing for me is, every one eager to show his mercy or kindness, even he know just bullshit.
Awesome presented
I am from Taiwan province, our voice to pursue for unification with mainland China are being oppressed by radical pro-independence forces.
Taiwan official name is Republic of China, constitution says clearly we are China!
The Americans just wanna use us for its geopolitical rivalry with communist mainland China.
We don't wanna be Americans chess piece, go to separate California from America!
People who support Taiwan independence can go to support their country to establish a country, please give back China's land
All the western countries want to do is to break China up and reduce its power in the world. But it will not work that country has too much of a strong culture and old civilization. China and Chinese people always overcome thair enemy. Long live the hard working people of China forword ever backward never
Why ? The reasons are obvious. 1. Taiwan is one of the ATM machines of the US like the Saudi, UAE and other US puppet states like India, UK, Australia, Canada and some EU countries. 2. Taiwan is one of the US tools to make use of to try to contain China and stop its development. 3. Taiwan is part of China and no dispute about that. By using the pretext of defending democracy, national security, freedom of navigation and human rights, the US and its allies believe they can claim they have the right to interfere in China's internal affairs and undermine China's sovereignty. If any countries provide huge monetary fund to the US, especially to its big arms manufacturers and contractors that feed the US Lawmakers pockets, they can get away with murders, like the Saudi where its head of state can murder innocent people and no democracy, yet the US and the West keep very quiet and no condemnation. This is hypocrisy and double standard.
What is used in Telsa cars, computers, cell phones? Computer Chips made in Taiwan.
The US and China were at war against each other before, in the Korean War. So we know what it is like to fight against China, no big deal.
Taiwan is NOT a part of China!
Long Live Taiwan! 🇹🇼
Taiwan does not worry too much about China's invasion, because China wants to obtain Taiwan at the least cost, and the military cost of occupying Taiwan is too high; however, what Taiwan should worry about is collusion between Taiwan's opposition party KMT and Chinese's CCP party. On the one hand, KMT creates social chaos, spreads rumors terrorizing the people of Taiwan, on the other hand, undermining the relationship between Taiwan and the United States, Japan. So that KMT can regain power in Taiwan. This is the biggest hiding danger in Taiwan at present.
Taiwanese want USA to park their Armies there to insult all the Chinese around the world
One of the best series which I like, keep it up Sandra
I just want to know why she changes where she is looking and then goes to different place.
If China takes over Taiwan, it will rule the world because chips are used in every industry of phones, airplanes, computers, and televisions.
Free taiwan
Honestly, there is just an ongoing civil war between Chinese on both sides who represent two different governments.
Yes , there are people in Taiwan wants to declare independence of China (you are taking away a piece of land from China) , then go ahead and settle it once and for all with PRC.
@Sandra, This is a very good video Thanks!
BUT you failed to mention the point that the west just wanted to benefit a war between Taiwan and China. In other words, the west doesn't care about the Taiwanese Chinese.
After WW2, the west started 100+ wars, so they can make blood $. This is actually how the west makes $ – From war! How is it democracy, when the west uses tax payer $ to fund all the wars, while all the military consulting companies makes the $, but the tax payers do not get anything back? The west always talk about conflict of interest, but each war, the companies that were making $ are owned by the high ranking military and politician.
If a war breaks out, the west will benefit, but the Taiwanese Chinese will suffer.
You should cover a story how the west failed at every point to contain and control China and Taiwan is the last option, but the west already failed to defeat China several years ago. What the west is doing is only to slow down China's raise and create more conflict for China to solve!
The west failed to contain and control China during the…
– Korean War…
– Vietnam War…
– Promo the fake Dalai Lama to massacre all the Serfs for absolute power, but luckily, some of the Serfs escaped and alerted the government, so they could exile the CIA implanted Dalai Lama to South Tibet, where the UK drew the line it belongs to India to create the border dispute…
– Used Xinjiang genocide and cotton, where the Uighur woman had no clue how much space it takes to house 3M+ people, clearly, her story is fake. The BCI CEO owns his own cotton field and he falsified the document from Asia BCI to attack Xinjiang, but companies like Skechers wasn't dump, they sent people to investigate force labor, etc. and it was a fake…
– HK riot! These poor local HK people were all radicalized by the west to fight its own government just like what the west are doing in every country. If China is like Myanmar and other countries, China would be a very different China…
So Taiwan is the last card the west can play!
Nehru totally responsible for this and also Israel,I am sorry Taiwan but I don't recognise israhell or PRC.Taiwan is a country,and we Indians are sending our forces to deal with coronavirus party.
I love Al Jazeera just tip-toeing around the word "democracy" for this whole episode.
"Journalism"!
Please make a report Against the Bangladeshi illegal government.
1) America did it to Colombia when they chopped of Panama.
2) America did it to Iraq when they chopped of Kuwait.
3) Now they are doing it to China. They are chopping off Taiwan.
Because… the country name of Taiwan is the Republic of China… so it's yet another China… and it's tricky that Taiwan said it's not part of China.
