This is USA propaganda channel
Naw. It's just people in the field openly talking about issues that they are expert in so that we lay people can learn. You may not be used to this kind of public discourse being open, honest, and unscripted in your country. You think it is propaganda because if this was in your country, it would HAVE to be CCP-Sponsored propaganda or it would be censored and people would be arrested or simply disappeared. Must be quite a culture shock and unbelievable to you. You're probably wondering what the catch is; the lie; the message that our government is trying to send... lol! Just sit back and learn... if your government will let you.
We are a Pawn!
how come no one asked how does mainland public view u.s and taiwan? so only taiwan has the say on chinese domestic issue?
lmao yes it is really a mystery why researchers might want to avoid being imprisoned for "political subversion"
How much has NATO spent on Ukraine fighting Russia? And how is the war going? Do you urge Taiwan to be the next Ukraine?
How much has russia spent fighting Ukraine, how is the war going.
To be honest, how Taiwanese think is kinda irrelevant in the bigger picture. Taiwan is being used by US as a card in the strategic competition with mainland China. The fate of Taiwan will be decided by the result of this contest.
Agree, Taiwan should be watch out USA use Taiwan people as human shield to fight Asian people against Asian in benefit westerners. If I was Taiwan; I would refuse to sides with the west especially United States. I rather have win-win policy with China for peace.
First chain of islands for whom? Disinformation fed to Taiwan people by the US led axis has been appalling.
You probably want Taiwan to be under the CCP'S control
US has had decades to infiltrate Taiwan’s media and education system
Most important is how the majority mainlanders view the Taiwanese & the government of the day administrating the island. If to them unification by force is inevitable, then the Taiwanese's views are no longer important. Taiwanese can either stay or go. The mainlanders just want to ensure the island won't be separated from China.
just give them an island @ alaska..... they can become americans as that's what they always wanted
What do Taiwanese think how Afghans would answer on the question of US credibility? And on how the Ukrainians would answer after Trump returns to the White House? If China and Taiwan are different countries, why are these participants from Academia SINICA and not Academia Taiwan or Formosa? Isn’t it a bit pretentious?
Taiwan seeks credibility from popular opinion through opinion polls, but these are Think Tank-driven and flawed in the manner quoted by this panel. The US in turn, seeks to validate its geopolitical position - with regards to Taiwan, by placing undue attention on ‘flawed’ opinion polls conducted by independence-supporting elements. Turning Taiwan into a pawn for its hegemonic posturing.
The true reflection of popular opinion is not the media or think tank-driven polls, but parliamentary representation. This offers a contrary view, with One-China political parties, the Kuomintang and TPP represented by 60 seats and the Independence-seeking DPP by 52 seats.
China's credibility is derived from history, international treaties, and customary sovereign practice. On the latter, Apex courts in Canada, France, UK, and Spain share the same ruling that Quebec, Corsica, Scotland, and Catalonia respectively, cannot seek to legitimise (even if sanctioned by a regional parliament) their sovereign independence through the process of popular regional referenda or UDI (Unilateral Declaration of Independence), without the sanction of their existing sovereign as mandated in their respective constitutions.
The Constitution of Taiwan is clear, ‘Taiwan is a part of China’. Even a Taiwanese constitutional revocation cannot legitimise independence or the process of seeking independence without the sanction of the declared constitutional sovereign. Even in Taiwan’s current constitution, the ultimate sovereign is China.
Where Taiwan's argument has plausibility is that it questions the legitimacy of the mainland PRC government, however, contemporary international recognition makes the PRC the de facto and legitimate successor to the ROC.
There are two points in time that mark the crystallisation of successorship from ROC to PRC. The first was internal and marked in 1949 when the PRC achieved sovereignty over mainland China, the second was external when the PRC achieved majority recognition among nation-states through UN admittance in 1971.
Another flawed argument is that the PRC has never ruled Taiwan, as equally the ROC - as legitimised by its sovereignty over mainland China and under which guise it participated as treaty signatory to several international treaties has also never ruled Taiwan.
Taiwan did not officially become a part of China until the Japanese handover in 1952 to fulfil the terms of its WW2 surrender. At that time, the ROC no longer held 'internal' sovereignty over China in a manner that would legitimise a 'Japan sovereign to China sovereign' transfer of territory as mandated in the Japanese surrender; and its 'external' sovereignty expired in 1971, with the withdrawal of UN recognition.
It is reverse. China is part of Taiwan. China is the rouge nation.
Taiwan is the actual government. But since China is already powerful, it reverses the situation. China already made themselves a country, then Taiwan can now the country that they are.
The majority of Hawaiians do not want to be under the USA, in fact, Hawaiians want total independence.
The intro is strong:
"Missing from a lot of these discussions is what the people on Taiwan actually think"
Missing from a lot of foreign policy analysis, I appreciate the recognition of how the agency of the people on taiwan (on the ground generally) is a critical component of understanding possible developments/ conflict dynamics.
If the people only mattered... good luck to you people....
Why is Tawain not spending 5 -10% of GDP on defense?
Hi, I am from Taiwan. I do think that the defense spending is a bit low.
As for the reason why.... Probably because both the Workers' Retirement Insurance and Medicare in Taiwan are going bankrupt?
We will try our best to increase the defense budget though!
@@user-jn8ul4on5jI'm no expert, just random middle-aged American. I kind of assumed your birthrate was somewhere similar with other well-developed nations and, yeah, like you said, the domestic costs were just too high to support 5+, let alone 10%.
I realize I could look this up, but find dialogue with a local to be a great/ cool opportunity... What is Taiwan's immigration / opinion of non natives like? Is it anywhere near as narrow as RoK/Japan, or is there more tolerance? Also, is there any need for non domestic labor, such as basic nursing (assisting, not actual high end medical) care for the elderly (like we do here with lower class (economically) in the USA?
Personally, I'm concerned you are going to lose US support sooner than later. ❤️
@@user-jn8ul4on5jAmericans tell them not to trust the United States too much. Sooner or later, they will be abandoned, which makes me laugh.
台湾应该将50%的GDP用于国防！！
5-10%太少了！！
Why you've seen Ukraine what do you think would be left of Taiwan win or lose ?
Taiwan needs to increase defense spending.
Yeah, Taiwanese are working very very to hard now by trying to scam even more people in Asia than ever.

taiwan's gdp is around $750b.... even they spend 5% that's $38b...... that's about 1/8-1/10 to what china is spending..... taiwan can buy 10 fighter jets each year but china will make 100+ per year.... each year the gap widens so how can taiwan keep pace?
they need to build roads not guns
@@TheFlagUnit immediately outside CBD centre in Taipei... everything is old..
Why is America not talking or encouraging peaceful reunification? Yet you, America seeks provocation and division between China and Taiwan, keeps sending offensive weapons to Taiwan.
germany had peaceful reunification, why can't china??

Typical us propaganda
Wasting time on this..

It must be a joke to talk about the credibility of US Administration. If anyone has some sense of logic, through what US did on Vietnam, Afghanistan, Middle East, and their behaviour in the recent drama in Philippine-China conflict, this topic is a non-starter. This credibility survey or study is just an insult to majority of Taiwan citizens. Unfortunately, this island never short of these type of awkward people who like to sell their own people and country.
poor audio quality hurts this video.
Boohoo it's about the quality of the information not the quality of audio and video
Lil trpodsie
Such a waste of resources to ask a question on “credibility” :) in case of the US, it’s a meaningless question since the US maintains strategic ambiguity, so the question sounds like do you believe that US will remain ambiguous :) … in case of China, if Taiwanese perceive China as an enemy what is the point of asking a question about your enemy’s credibility ? If Taiwanese don’t believe in China’s commitment to peaceful reunification, do they also not believe in China’s threat of response if they declare independence ? Inconsistent and meaningless …. better to ask which country you like more, or more specifically, do you believe US will go to war with China over Taiwan, or do you believe China will respond militarily if Taiwan declares independence
Chinese propaganda bots in full force
says the CIA anti china BOT😂
it's official cia bots actually get paid...
@@edwardsnowden8821 only shitguo 🇨🇳 uses bots
