westerners often get confused... the DPP has the final say on any 'national' issue..... but there's always the ROC constitution also never mentioned by the west..... why?? it's like the u.s constitution just disappeared and whatever trump or biden said is the absolute final word.....
The US has maintained an economic and financial blockade against Cuba since 1960. The blockade is enforced to restrict any economic activity and financial transaction in the US dollar dominated banking system and it also pressurizes all other countries to comply with this blockade. Hence Cuba has little economic development and is constantly deprived of essential medicines and other needed materials for its population. This is a hardship imposed on 10 million fellow humans in Cuba. The UN has voted to condemn this hardship imposed on Cuba 191 votes to 2. Nothing has been done to end it. Cuba is a sovereign state recognized and represented in the UN. Taiwan is not a sovereign state recognized in the UN. It belongs to China.
The US is also militarily blockading Cuba and Venezuela for years! Many Chinese, Iranian, and Russian cargo ships that tried to bring food, medicine, and other supplies to the Cuban and Venezuelan people have been captured by the US’s warships where the people in those ships were arrested by the US military and later sent back to their country of origin, but their supplies and ships were confiscated by the US government and sold to the American companies at discounted prices! That is how the US militarily blockades a foreign country to keep it poor and to starve out the country’s civilians from outside help so that they would join the US to overthrow their government!
@@grandwonder5858 We don't often get news regarding this - if at all. Where can we obtain information on U.S. navy stopping, confiscating foreign ships carrying freight to Cuba and Venezuela and then, selling them off? Isn't the stopping and confiscating foreign ships at sea an act of war? Need to know the truth, thanks.
The Taiwanese government is living in a dream, as a tiny island who wants to think they can control mainland China and its 1.4 billion citizens, plus the south china sea 😂😂😂😂.
The Western commentators always claim that China never ruled Taiwan before 1949. They forget that China ruled Taiwan from the Ming dynasty onwards and that the Province was given to Japan as part of the Treaty of Shimonoseki, after the First Sino-Japan War. They appear to have no idea how evil the Japanese rule was on Taiwan and was a precursor of the brutality by Japan in the Second Sino-Japan War of 1937 - 45.
Mainland China was not a country in 5000BCE, therefore it's not country now. russia was not country before 1530, therefore there cannot be russia now. Your claim is flawed so much it boggles the mind.
Everytime I mention that the ROC Constitution even says Taiwan is part of China, all the foreign separatist meddlers go quiet. Except once. One person asked me where in the Constitution it says so and I listed where it is and she went all quiet. I also point out UN Resolution 2758. The separatists say its got nothing to do with Taiwan. To that I reply, "The seat at the UN was taken away from Taipei and restored to Beijing". If Taiwan has nothing to do with it and is not part of China, the administration on Taiwan island wouldn't have had its seat taken and handed to Beijing. After that they either go radio silent or start posting stupid memes or personal insults. Such is the level of discourse. LOL
Lucky. Mine is the opposite, instead of being silent, two people came (one of them in fact an indonesian) and started on denial mode and lecturing me about history Chinese civil war and how KMT fleeing to formosa to formed Taiwan. Which a topic i'm not blind about. I even i advise them to read UN Resolution 2758 and Shanghai Communique. Still they're on denial and making excuses. I really hate people being smartass like that for topic they didn't know about.
Those who argue Taiwan and China are different countries or Taiwanese people aren’t Chinese have never seen the cover of a “Taiwanese” passport. What do they think the “C” in “ROC” stand for? 😂😂😂
Even the Taiwan Passport has the Chinese words for "China" on it. The question was never about whether Taiwan was part of China, it is, it was whether there would be a peaceful political reunification. The ROC was succeeded by the PRC and it's time to reintegrate. The political reunification of Taiwan is legal and within international law.
Careful there, i got shitted on by those ignorant idiots that on denial about Taiwan being part of China. Even though, i allready bringing Shanghai communique and UN resolution 2758 as the main argument.
Honestly, I'm in Taiwan right now and couldn't be happier. I'm on a study abroad here, and it's a nice place, but the PRC was my first choice. The thing is, thanks to the U.S. Government's Lvl.3 travel advisory on the PRC, I would have had to forgo government financial aid in order to exchange there, but not in Taiwan. Imagine if Taiwan becomes part of the PRC while I'm in it! Fingers crossed for a swift and peaceful reunification under the five stars.
Hahaha aww, it’s not going to happen any time soon. Just a drill. Sorry you couldn’t spend your study time on the Chinese mainland. Why don’t you try and get a Chinese government scholarship?
We should be thankful that mainland China does not have a one-person-one-vote voting system, otherwise Taiwan would have been unified by force by now. The mainland government is too good to Taiwan, and the mainland people still hope to unify Taiwan by force.😆
There’s already a democratic process on the issue and overwhelmingly in favour of reunification. People think all Taiwanese want independence and that’s not true either, I don’t think they’d get a majority of the vote and it doesn’t matter because the US would manipulate the situation anyway.
China sees Taiwanese as brothers and sisters, even though some may have been brainwashed by U$ propaganda, just like UK did to HKongers. China can play the long game, U$nUK on the hand are both coming to an end with US debt now at $35T and increasing by 1T every 100 days, eventually it's economy will collapse, oh boy, that would be the mother of all hyperinflation!!!

I am a 74 y.o. overseas Chinese. In the 1950s, I studied at Tang Ren Shue Siao 😂(now closed). We were “propagandized” that KMT would retake the mainland.

The KMT is just another faction in the governance of China proper. It lost its ability to do so when they lost and ran to the island called Taiwan. KMT up till today still harbours hopes and still maintains it must retake their position as ruler of China proper.

Mainland Chinese were not allowed to participate in Olympic game from 1949 to 1988, due to Taiwan represented the whole China due to America and its alliance support Taiwan to represent the whole China.
In Olympics and Asian games and other regional and world sports events, Taiwan is represented as "Chinese Taipei". Certainly, Taiwan is China's territory. Period
1) ROC encompass Mainland and Taiwan Island according to their Constitution. 2) ROC is democratic and general election must be conducted to chose the government and president democratically, to govern the country in a time frame not longer than stapulated in their Constitution. That mean once the governments term was up in 4 years, a general election must be held, and parties or candidate that receive majority support will form the new government and president. To determine the majority of support, the polls must encompass mainland china where vast majority of the people is living. That makes the government of ROC in Taipei unconstitutional. That is simple logic.
The US wants to drive a wedge between Muslims in Iran and Saudi and between Chinese in Taiwan and China. The US/UK always driving a wedge lile how the Brits cut India in half and divided a country into Muslim and Hindi into Pakistan and India , thus weakening them and making them smaller and more costlier to run with two governments instead of one.
Taiwan is belong to China. So it is not suitable to accuse Chinese military of surroundings Taiwan. It is China rights to protect its territories including Taiwan island.
A very good point and to the heart of the matter. Independence could be alright if it weren’t for American influence. America wants Taiwan as a military base and once they’ve got it Taiwan will have no independence
ROC, like the mainland also claims South Tibet (renamed Arunachal Pradesh), wonder what that de facto US embassy in Taipei and the Indian government have to say about that if they weren't tripping over their own lies.
One little detail on China Airline. Taiwan does have an airline called Eva airline. But it doesn't change a bit of it status. Taiwan is part of China. I've learnt that Mao intended to finish this island after the civil war but got interfered by American thru Korean war.
@4:20 Typo, the PRC's name in Chinese is 中华人民共和国 (中華人民共和國). Getting this correct is important because both the PRC and ROC include the same two characters - 中华 (中華) - China.
Western Colonizers given names around the globe is widely known in the English speaking world. The local names of these places are quite different, you know! FYI, the collective West only makes up about 15% of the world's population.
@@adamiskandar5107 100% true! Everywhere the MINORITY Anglo-Europeans went around the world, they'd assign their OWN names to places that belong to others - as well as draw up borders as they like with impunity and little negotiations with all parties concerned. AND then, they'd arrogantly call those "International Rules based Order".
Since both China and Taiwan legally claim the whole of Chinese territory, Taiwan should, under its constitution, allow Chinese Mainland's 1.4 billion people to vote on whether to reunify the island or separate it. 😆😆
Someone pointed out to me that the silver lining of DPP winning the last election in Taiwan is that PRC can take more decisive steps to reunite Taiwan and therefore the matter could be resolved sooner than later. Had the KMT won the election, then the matter could be more complicated and drawn out.
The DPP lost the legislature at the last election. Pro Chinese parties took 60% of the vote, with the DPP taking 40%. They were the biggest single party
What's particularly interesting about the matched wording from Reuters and DW is that they style themselves as trustworthy "trustfund" and "national broadcaster" media, respectively, rather than as corporate media or as outlets for the US national broadcaster VOA.
Chiang Kai Sek probably wanted to be king... that's why he ignored the "double tenth agreement", in short, the communists recognized chiang Kai Sek's leadership with the regions of Beijing and Manchuria becoming communist territories and the communists as companion parties...
For those that don't know, the PRIC and the ROC are technically still at war, ditto for South and North Korea. For the PRC, the naval exercises are a clear warning to Taiwan that its economy is dependent on trade and that trade can be stopped at a blink of an eye. 30% of Taiwan's trade is with the mainland, so a sudden decline in that trade is a big problem for Taiwan's economy. When China's third carrier becomes operational and its fourth LHD is completed, it is capable of blockading and occupying Taiwan at any time. That could be as early as 2025 or 2026. So far, the US has shown no inclination to interfere with the PRC exercises and its carrier forces have steered far away. In all probability, the US submarine force is the frontline for the US and the Chinese are practicing their anti-submarine warfare detection and tactics. US military aid has not been robust as the US prioritizes Ukraine and Israel before Taiwan. The government in Taiwan should worry whether the US will actually physically participate in repeling the mainland should a conflict break out. So, far, the US has shown little in the way of a committed plan to repel the PRC if they try to occupy Taiwan. Today's PRC exercises are the Chinese poking Taiwan to see how sensitive it is to blockades of its trade and commerce.
Absolutely! The Chinese Civil War between the PRC and the ROC was temporarily halted by the United States of America that PREVENTED its eventual and decisive conclusion in 1949 by blockading the island of Taiwan from the PRC forces that have driven the ROC off the mainland into seeking REFUGE on the island. Imagine what would have happened to the United States in 1865 if Great Britain or some other European World power in those times had stepped in between the American Civil War and blocked the armies of General sherman and Ulysses Grant from proceedings and marches any further past the Mason-Dixie line into the Confederate South to "protect" Jefferson Davis and his "Southern rebels"?
Chiang Kai-shek is a whole world apart from and better than Zelensky and Lai Ching-te put together. Chiang was still a Chinese who knew Taiwan was part of China and he would not have tolerated separation, and would not have tolerated the US stoking separation sentiments, and would have told the US to butt out in that regard.
Taiwan' s airline call itself China Airline,and The Republic of China geographically denotes the island of Taiwan(Formosa) plus The Mainland China...what an unholy alliance & impeccable credentials..
Taiwan also claims part of Fujian Province on the mainland as part of its ADZ - "Air Defence Zone". Every time, a Chinese air force jet takes off and fly around that part of Fujian, Taiwan (and the U.S.and its underdog, Australia) has been claiming that the Chinese communists have "invaded" Taiwan's air space. The way in which they have convoluted the language of propaganda is incredible)
@@dongiovanni8899 Exactly! Just think - Taiwan is only112 miles from the Chinese Mainland while Hawaii is 2,400 miles from the U.S. Mainland. While Taiwan has been part of China for hundreds of years BEFORE the arrival of the West, Hawaii has, at the same time, been an INDENPENDENT and FREE sovereign island KINGDOM until the U.S. CONQUERED and COLONIZED it, claiming it for itself while creating the myth that the Hawaiians are so enamored of the U.S. that they "lovingly" and "willingly" wanted to be part of the U.S. The disparity in logical thinking escapes some obviously very biased and hegemonic Americans in trying to push their opinion that Taiwan is not part of China is virtually laughable.
I thought that only the KMT sought its dream of governance over the whole of China. Does the democratic party seek the same ideal? Also, I have a question for Taiwanese people: do politicians in Taiwan explicitly mention this at times or does it remain implied since the old days?
KMT still maintains that both sides of the strait belong to one China. DPP separatists don't have enough majority in parliament to amend the constitution. So Taiwan is still legally part of China under ROC.🤓
Lai Ching Te (LCT)’s speech is really unhelpful in maintaining peace in the Taiwan strait. The implication of his speech reported in more detail by the Guardian was that Taiwan should be the motherland not mainland China. The very short tail is trying to wag the very big body and head. No wonder China responded with this military exercise. The politicians in Washington need to use their influence to get LCT to tone down his rhetoric this is consistent with the latest response from Washington that the US adheres to the one China policy and they want the status quo. Is LCT in trying to change the status quo in trying to pull US into a war with China? I certainly hope not🤔
The lackey, lct, is just doing what he was ordered to do by the United snakes. Why would the United snakes tell him to toned down after they ordered him to make noise ?? lct is just being obedient, that’s all.
US needs to learn to interview with a wide range of people, Taiwanese at all ages and parties and also the Taiwanese living in China and abroad to get a much better picture instead of asking for a few clearly bias people and magnify their opinion 100 times over. This technique of journalism is so evil and mis-leading.
To the U.S.A., it is a nation of 50 states that has to be kept UNITED even by FORCE (U.S. Civil War) but for other countries, kept DIVIDED (eg Korea, Ryukyu Islands, etc). Hypocrisy much?

To be honesty most Taiwanese dgaf what happens between their government and the PRC. They hate their current government anyway. They would just continue with their daily lives. Business as usual.
@@AntiwarObserverSounds like the populations of most of the countries on the planet. People just want to live their lives in peace but these govts have other ideas for us all.
Excellent. PRC forever!
Mainland Chinese were not allowed to participate in Olympic game from 1949 to 1988, due to Taiwan represented the whole China due to America and its alliance support Taiwan to represent the whole China.
In Olympics and Asian games and other regional and world sports events, Taiwan is represented as "Chinese Taipei". Certainly, Taiwan is China's territory. Period
After 3 drills, PLA is even more prepared.
1) ROC encompass Mainland and Taiwan Island according to their Constitution.
2) ROC is democratic and general election must be conducted to chose the government and president democratically, to govern the country in a time frame not longer than stapulated in their Constitution.
That mean once the governments term was up in 4 years, a general election must be held, and parties or candidate that receive majority support will form the new government and president.
To determine the majority of support, the polls must encompass mainland china where vast majority of the people is living.
That makes the government of ROC in Taipei unconstitutional. That is simple logic.
Can't have two kings ruling one kingdom. One China,
One Emperor.
Thank you for the information and the clear way you presented it. It was a great learning experience.
Good on ya Andy
the passport of TW is called China as well lol PEACE
US$600million+ a year spent on propaganda!
The island province of Taiwan will become an SAR or semi-autonomous region of the PRC. It's only a matter of time.
Great work, Andy.
Free Hawaii
The US wants to drive a wedge between Muslims in Iran and Saudi and between Chinese in Taiwan and China. The US/UK always driving a wedge lile how the Brits cut India in half and divided a country into Muslim and Hindi into Pakistan and India , thus weakening them and making them smaller and more costlier to run with two governments instead of one.
Taiwan is belong to China. So it is not suitable to accuse Chinese military of surroundings Taiwan. It is China rights to protect its territories including Taiwan island.
Separatism should not be tolerated especially when backed by Americans with ill intentions
A very good point and to the heart of the matter. Independence could be alright if it weren’t for American influence. America wants Taiwan as a military base and once they’ve got it Taiwan will have no independence
In what world do the "Losers" of the Chinese Civil War dictate terms.
ROC, like the mainland also claims South Tibet (renamed Arunachal Pradesh), wonder what that de facto US embassy in Taipei and the Indian government have to say about that if they weren't tripping over their own lies.
Wow🇨🇳
the roc’s territorial claims extend past even the prc’s current boundaries
One little detail on China Airline. Taiwan does have an airline called Eva airline. But it doesn't change a bit of it status. Taiwan is part of China. I've learnt that Mao intended to finish this island after the civil war but got interfered by American thru Korean war.
Sincerely thank you for explaining the truths!
Ignore the old and bad propaganda "divide and conquer" from the West politicians. Period. Just hope for the bright future of world.
By far the most accurate outline of the situation
Thanks for providing clarity
Maybe two weeks. Love your work ❤
@4:20 Typo, the PRC's name in Chinese is 中华人民共和国 (中華人民共和國). Getting this correct is important because both the PRC and ROC include the same two characters - 中华 (中華) - China.
From Formusa to Taiwan is an interesting history.🤔🤔
Western Colonizers given names around the globe is widely known in the English speaking world. The local names of these places are quite different, you know! FYI, the collective West only makes up about 15% of the world's population.
@@adamiskandar5107 100% true! Everywhere the MINORITY Anglo-Europeans went around the world, they'd assign their OWN names to places that belong to others - as well as draw up borders as they like with impunity and little negotiations with all parties concerned.
AND then, they'd arrogantly call those "International Rules based Order".
Since both China and Taiwan legally claim the whole of Chinese territory, Taiwan should, under its constitution, allow Chinese Mainland's 1.4 billion people to vote on whether to reunify the island or separate it. 😆😆
Taiwan separatist ask for it. Lai Ching de go defend your freedom. Buddha and our ancestors blessed us all both main land and Taiwan Chinese people.
ROC not only claims the South China Sea - its claim includes 11 dotted lines as compared to PRC's claim of 9 dotted lines.
Someone pointed out to me that the silver lining of DPP winning the last election in Taiwan is that PRC can take more decisive steps to reunite Taiwan and therefore the matter could be resolved sooner than later. Had the KMT won the election, then the matter could be more complicated and drawn out.
The DPP lost the legislature at the last election. Pro Chinese parties took 60% of the vote, with the DPP taking 40%. They were the biggest single party
How can a small island of Taiwan claim to be rule 1.4 m people?
Ah, I read an article earier today about the exercise that probably made me lose braincells. Been waiting for your coverage since. Thanks Andy!
What's particularly interesting about the matched wording from Reuters and DW is that they style themselves as trustworthy "trustfund" and "national broadcaster" media, respectively, rather than as corporate media or as outlets for the US national broadcaster VOA.
Same story as always: the agent of chaos meddling in other countries' domestic politics and spreading misery around the World
Great reporting!!!
Thanks for the clarification 🙏🏼
Another great one Andy
you know more history of roc than most taiwanese
Chiang Kai Sek probably wanted to be king... that's why he ignored the "double tenth agreement", in short, the communists recognized chiang Kai Sek's leadership with the regions of Beijing and Manchuria becoming communist territories and the communists as companion parties...
It will be one full week and it will block all air and see transport in and out of Taiwan.
For those that don't know, the PRIC and the ROC are technically still at war, ditto for South and North Korea. For the PRC, the naval exercises are a clear warning to Taiwan that its economy is dependent on trade and that trade can be stopped at a blink of an eye. 30% of Taiwan's trade is with the mainland, so a sudden decline in that trade is a big problem for Taiwan's economy. When China's third carrier becomes operational and its fourth LHD is completed, it is capable of blockading and occupying Taiwan at any time. That could be as early as 2025 or 2026. So far, the US has shown no inclination to interfere with the PRC exercises and its carrier forces have steered far away. In all probability, the US submarine force is the frontline for the US and the Chinese are practicing their anti-submarine warfare detection and tactics. US military aid has not been robust as the US prioritizes Ukraine and Israel before Taiwan. The government in Taiwan should worry whether the US will actually physically participate in repeling the mainland should a conflict break out. So, far, the US has shown little in the way of a committed plan to repel the PRC if they try to occupy Taiwan. Today's PRC exercises are the Chinese poking Taiwan to see how sensitive it is to blockades of its trade and commerce.
Absolutely! The Chinese Civil War between the PRC and the ROC was temporarily halted by the United States of America that PREVENTED its eventual and decisive conclusion in 1949 by blockading the island of Taiwan from the PRC forces that have driven the ROC off the mainland into seeking REFUGE on the island.
Imagine what would have happened to the United States in 1865 if Great Britain or some other European World power in those times had stepped in between the American Civil War and blocked the armies of General sherman and Ulysses Grant from proceedings and marches any further past the Mason-Dixie line into the Confederate South to "protect" Jefferson Davis and his "Southern rebels"?
ROC also includes Mongolia,
Thanks Andy
Great analysis thanks Andy.
Incredible China. ❤
Chiang Kai-shek = Taiwan's original Zelensky 💀☠️💩🤡
Lai Ching-te = Taiwan's newest Zelensky 🤡☠️💀💩
Chiang Kai-shek is a whole world apart from and better than Zelensky and Lai Ching-te put together. Chiang was still a Chinese who knew Taiwan was part of China and he would not have tolerated separation, and would not have tolerated the US stoking separation sentiments, and would have told the US to butt out in that regard.
Taiwan' s airline call itself China Airline,and The Republic of China geographically denotes the island of Taiwan(Formosa) plus The Mainland China...what an unholy alliance & impeccable credentials..
Taiwan also claims part of Fujian Province on the mainland as part of its ADZ - "Air Defence Zone". Every time, a Chinese air force jet takes off and fly around that part of Fujian, Taiwan (and the U.S.and its underdog, Australia) has been claiming that the Chinese communists have "invaded" Taiwan's air space. The way in which they have convoluted the language of propaganda is incredible)
Holy-crap@@George-k6o9t
Kinmen island is part of Fujian province on ROC map😂
@@dongiovanni8899 Exactly!
Just think - Taiwan is only112 miles from the Chinese Mainland while Hawaii is 2,400 miles from the U.S. Mainland. While Taiwan has been part of China for hundreds of years BEFORE the arrival of the West, Hawaii has, at the same time, been an INDENPENDENT and FREE sovereign island KINGDOM until the U.S. CONQUERED and COLONIZED it, claiming it for itself while creating the myth that the Hawaiians are so enamored of the U.S. that they "lovingly" and "willingly" wanted to be part of the U.S.
The disparity in logical thinking escapes some obviously very biased and hegemonic Americans in trying to push their opinion that Taiwan is not part of China is virtually laughable.
I hope Taiwan is able to reunify with the mainland amicably, as soon as possible.２
@4:18 This should be written as 中华人民共和国。 Sorry to nitpick, but you already know we're an audience that appreciates truth and accuracy. (:
The ROC constitution also includes Outer Mongolia which has since gained independence and is now known as the Mongolian People's Republic.
Calling Taiwan LCT an ibiot is an understatement
I thought that only the KMT sought its dream of governance over the whole of China. Does the democratic party seek the same ideal? Also, I have a question for Taiwanese people: do politicians in Taiwan explicitly mention this at times or does it remain implied since the old days?
KMT still maintains that both sides of the strait belong to one China. DPP separatists don't have enough majority in parliament to amend the constitution. So Taiwan is still legally part of China under ROC.🤓
Lai Ching Te (LCT)’s speech is really unhelpful in maintaining peace in the Taiwan strait. The implication of his speech reported in more detail by the Guardian was that Taiwan should be the motherland not mainland China. The very short tail is trying to wag the very big body and head. No wonder China responded with this military exercise. The politicians in Washington need to use their influence to get LCT to tone down his rhetoric this is consistent with the latest response from Washington that the US adheres to the one China policy and they want the status quo. Is LCT in trying to change the status quo in trying to pull US into a war with China? I certainly hope not🤔
The lackey, lct, is just doing what he was ordered to do by the United snakes. Why would the United snakes tell him to toned down after they ordered him to make noise ?? lct is just being obedient, that’s all.
@@Sayitlikeitis-jn6xe This is a very dangerous game💀
CLEARLY the "butt hurts", bang bang ooh la la! Push it, push it good - Salt n Pepper! Thanks for the notice over Cry Me a River!
US needs to learn to interview with a wide range of people, Taiwanese at all ages and parties and also the Taiwanese living in China and abroad to get a much better picture instead of asking for a few clearly bias people and magnify their opinion 100 times over. This technique of journalism is so evil and mis-leading.
I suspect the majority of people assumed China Airlines is Chinese (mainland) and not Taiwan owned.
One China, two interpretations!
Thx for your hard work
To the U.S.A., it is a nation of 50 states that has to be kept UNITED even by FORCE (U.S. Civil War) but for other countries, kept DIVIDED (eg Korea, Ryukyu Islands, etc). Hypocrisy much?
Spot on
I'm surprised the west hasn't already claimed that China invaded taiwan hahahahaha
