So what?
92% of medicines for the US elderly are made in china. Joe got us ww3 this is a nightmare.
1) In 1894, Japan invaded China and Korea, the Qing govt was defeated and signed the [Treaty of Shimonoseki] to cede Taiwan Island to Japan.
2) During the WW2, at the Cairo Conference held in 1943, China asked the transfer of Taiwan's sovereignty back to China after the war. This content was included in the [Cairo Declaration] and later reiterated in the [Potsdam Proclamation] that it should be implemented.
3) In 14 Aug & 2 Sept 1945, the Emperor and govt of Japan issued the [End War Edict] and [Japanese Instrument of Surrender], Japan surrendered and accepted the [Potsdam Proclamation]. Japanese troops in Taiwan surrendered to KMT General CKS and Taiwan re-entered the territory of the Republic of China (ROC).
4) Soon after that China civil war broke out in between KMT and CCP, the KMT was defeated and fled to Taiwan. However, due to US intervention, the CCP without strong navy at that time has no ability to unify Taiwan. The CCP then established the People's Republic of China (PRC) in 1949. The civil war continues…..
5) In 1971, UN Resolution No. 2758 ruled that the PRC had obtained the representation rights and all legal rights originally owned by the ROC in the UN. That means the PRC is China’s only legal govt under international law and recognise by 181 countries around the world, including the USA.
"The USA recognizes the Government of the PRC as the sole legal Government of China."
"The USA acknowledges the Chinese position that there is but one China and Taiwan is part of China."
Joint Cummunique on the Establishment of Diplomatic relations between the PRC and the USA in 1979.
Please refer to President Jimmy Carter's Speech on Relations with China.
6) Therefore, according to international law, international reality, and the wishes of the 1.4 billion Chinese people, Taiwan should return to PRC and the PRC have every rights to protect it's sovereign integrity.
I'm already looking forward to the American presidential election 😀
the world knows America is trying 😀
If the US wouldn’t tolerate losing Hawaii, don’t expect China to tolerate losing Taiwan.
Jeepers criminey lol
So Biden could be responsible for 3 new wars. ? What a surprise.
How could this happen under Biden’s watch?
is she the middle finga lady?
clearly US government tried to influence taiwan election by letting out the message!
Karona 💕👑+💕👑🙏🙏🙏👍👌🌅🌅)
Nothing new!
The Chinese 🇨🇳 regime has said that for the past 70 years!
– All they have done is to occasionally cross briefly the median line of the Taiwan Strait.
The US 🇺🇲 has reassured that it would send American troops to defend Taiwan
– if the island nation faces a Chinese invasion.
It doesn't matter who wins it, Taiwan 🇹🇼 is still an independent country.
– It's important that Taiwan's 2024 election be free from Chinese interference.
Xi is not exactly a bright guy and even my Chinese colleagues that I work with in China will sometimes confer with me, in private, that he just says things but doesn't really follow through with. Because they know that China is not and probably will never be, ready for war. The corruption in the army is rife, loyalty over competence in the PLA is endemic (including the CCP itself) and there are many young people in China who have no interest in joining the military.
There are no people on Earth who would want to be under China's rule. Taiwan is a free country.
Biden is weak…. And EVERYONE knows it!
sorry mr president i donate to the CIRCLE K & 711were i trade.
Anglo Saxon Graham blows his bag mouth again to get votes. He us today chicken to Send his family members to fight PLA.
No to autocrat Taiwan is Free country
Cannot "re-unify" what was never "unified". Japan owned Taiwan. Taiwan owned China. China NEVER owned Taiwan.
they know do nothing weak kneed corrupt biden will do nothing except take his 10 percent ( for the big guy)
Maybe something could be negotiated seems unreal. Its been done before in moments of history.
China will have Taiwan. Same as Russia will have Ukraine. Who is going to stop them? No one on earth. Better hope God exists. and pray.
By 'reunification' does Winnie the Pooh mean return China to Taiwan?
