lol, you know taiwan's salary was on a decline for 30 years? TSMC was fully funded by KMT under authoritarian, but sold 90% of the shares to wallsreet after becaming a democratic government? They are on a shape decline, 10% of their population moved to the mainland, the rest became more and more cracy about politics.
If China was democratic it wouldn’t be able to achieve superpower status under 40 years and develop infrastructure so quickly. In a democratic country everyone has their own opinion and demands, you’ll never get things done. Just look at India, largest democratic in the world yet it’s far behind that of China for many decades.
For those who lack historical knowledge the essence is (hypothetical) 1. After American civil war the Confederates won and Union government went to Hawaii (hypothetical) 2. Britain (superpower at that time) recognizes the authority of Confederate America but through "strategic ambiguity" protects Hawaii in case of an attack.
Actually, "strategic ambiguity" _was_ the way for many years, until the super power now started to become not so ambiguous. That's when the real tension started.
Gentle correction to one of the speakers (12:00). Although Taiwan is Small, with agriculture technology, Taiwan produces large amount of rice and farm produces. If you go to Taiwan, you’re in the market place, you will find majority of fruits, vegetables, and rice are Taiwanese grown. They heavily rely on fuel, but not necessarily ‘a good chunk of their food’.

When free people lost the civil war in China, Shek took his followers to Taiwan as part of the end of war deal. Some of us know this, but more people have to be reminded. The US will fight for Taiwanese freedom. God Bless.🇺🇸🇺🇸
Wrong. ROC fled the civil war while they lost the support of the majority of China and thus PRC became the legal government of China eventually. It was an unfinished civil war, both mainland and Taiwan could negotiate for a mutual settlement yet the west and the selfish DPP party didn't give it a chance.
This. Mao overthrew Democracy during a vulnerable phase of China’s past, claiming that the ROC was responsible for all their problems. Then he immediately let millions starve saying “it’s better to let half the country die so the rest can eat their fill.” Democracy is evil? Riiiigghhtt….
Very true but never mentioned. There are no internationally recognized treaties, policies or UN resolutions that state that Taiwan is Part of China. Taiwan was not even included into the PRC constitution until 1978.
But sanctioning China wouldnt be as easy as sanctioning Russia because China is the worlds biggest manufacturer and exporter of goods. So it would be pretty much impossible for most countries ti sanction China without severly damaging themselves.
The US build China and sold us out to China centuries ago. Now that China has become a global power the US is jealous and want to dominate China . However it’s to late China is a beast now !
We have not won a war since World War 2 I truly believe if we take China lightly or if Japan or Australia or England don’t come through with us . We done !
Whether the market is bullish or bearish doesn't really matter to me. Since I was able to adhere to Andrew Glenn Adams' advice, trading has always been profitable for me. My initial capital has increased significantly. Instead of trying to time the market by going in and out every few weeks, trade a little portion of your portfolio.
The financial markets undoubtedly provide a lot of opportunities, but throughout the years I've learned enough to be weary of the idea. Knowing where to concentrate is crucial, and it would be worthwhile to try whether Mr. Adams may genuinely be of use.
If you want to be successful and win the game of money, you must put in a lot of work. Financial independence is a goal in life. Working with others who can assist you in achieving your goals is advantageous. I don't let opportunities to better my financial situation pass me by when I see them.
Your portfolio will undoubtedly improve under a qualified tutor. The financial analyst with the best accessibility and in-depth knowledge of the various financial industry sectors has always been, in my opinion, Andrew Glenn Adams. Having a financial advisor is essential for a diverse portfolio.
As a new trader with no market understanding, I believe I need someone with market expertise to provide me all the financial advice I require before I begin exchanges. I appreciate you making this insightful comment.

Not for one single moment, at any point in time, ever, has the CCP held even a single iota of authority over the island of Taiwan; this is an indisputable *fact.* This simple fact is the entire crux of the matter. Taiwan has exercised the *literal definition of sovereignty* over the island for the better part of a century. This is an inarguable, demonstrable fact, and it really is that simple.
@@yayhandles when we talk about the sovereignty, it’s not controlled by one single party.if it is,how do u explain the two parties in the US? When the democrats get into power,the republicans just don’t have the sovereignty? Things don’t work out like that. The sovereignty belongs to the people lived in the land,and people in taiwan are a part of the people from qing or ming dynasty hundreds years ago,so actually they are exactly the same from the people in the mainland,and share the same culture, many of the people in taiwan have a same ancestor with the people in the mainland. So how can u tell the world that China isn’t part of China since it has been a part of it in the history for hundreds years?

China will be so punished if they attack Taiwan. When I asked the electronics store if they had a non-Chinese alternative. They replied that they had sold out of that product. He went on to say that it had become a common question from people. So people are clearly trying to find alternatives to made in China.
And who's going to punish China exactly 😂. You think they haven't planned this. China has enough support from the rest of the world to split the world into East and West, cutoff western influence on the east (a multi-polar world)

I'm glad that the west has woken up to this stupidly high dependence on chips produced by one company and country in the world. More could've been done still and earlier. I think both the US and the EU need to massively subsidize their own chip manufacturers, if needed, to get the advanced chip production lines and processes going. We're talking about such a critical commodity that things just can not continue like this. I mean, the EU has wasted billions on much, much more useless endeavors like the Covid recovery fund and such. Money has been poured into totally trivial projects, but something like this has been overlooked? I really question the intelligence of our leadership here.
@@kennychad2821 Most of the products produced by Japan and SK go through the South China Sea, it is not that easy. EU and US are in a pretty bad economic slow down, sure they can give incentives to this new industry, but it is not that trivial to do so, it is not like the US global economic hegemony after WW2 The world would probably look to closer and frindlier countries like India, Mexico, Brazil and even Argentina
The US has already funded several corporate controlled new manufacturing plants that are being built within the US. It will be another 3-4+ years, after that Taiwan is history.
Furthermore, the machinery tmc use are build in holland, i don't understand how no one in the EU political sphere has never proposed a cooperative program over chip production. Instead we let China monopolize the export of raw material from African countries. China don't have the knowledge and the skill required to build the newest chips at the same time China was able to rise up their production of 30% in the last decade while in the west we managed to rise an 10% on global production.

Taiwan is important, but this video tries to make it sound like microchips wouldn't exist without Taiwan. Taiwan doesn't do any of the R&D, the machines that manufacture the most advanced chips are made in the Netherlands. The machines that make the other chips are made by Intel in the United States and two different electronics firms in Japan. So if the machinery in Taiwan was unavailable, it would be extremely expensive, but the manufacturing could pop up elsewhere given enough time.
@@A5a5a5aooo5oo Yeah, they do contract work. Other companies design chips, then TSMC prints them on machines they that came from ACL in the Netherlands. What TSMC does is extremely technical and valuable, but it is not irreplaceable.
East and Southeast Asia too. Trade ships to the east have to go near Taiwan to get to those countries. So if China and Taiwan getting through those routes would be a pain.

Irrespective of whether Taiwan is considered a country or not does not automatically cede the sovereignty to China. The fact is that there are no internationally recognized treaties, policies or UN resolutions that state that Taiwan is part of China. In fact, Taiwan was not even included into the PRC constitution until 1978. Taiwan has been under the partial control of 5 different regimes in the last 400 years in which it was only Japan who first governed the entire island. In fact the non-Han non-Mandarin speaking Qing (like the Mongols considered barbarians by the Han Chinese) only controlled about 1/5 of the island while the indigenous people controlled the majority. The only legal way that Taiwan can amalgamate with China is if they agree to a treaty ceding their sovereignty.
@@xinjianhx China should stop that illegal inclusion of Taiwan. There is absolute zero basis for that false claim. Fact is that RoC has the rightful claim of China's territory because that was criminally stolen by communist rebels against the government of China therefore the disputed territory is China and Taiwan is never part of the dispute.
Remember the US ban advanced chips to China. Any semiconductor crisis will affect the western countries more since they are the ones who currently using the advanced chips. Think about Tesla, 3nm chips in iPhone and android phones, AI chips in Nvidia, Microsoft chat GPT chips, etc. China has SMIC and other smaller companies that make matured chips.
The only thing that can trigger the war is the leader of the Taiwan area announcing Taiwan is independent as a country, but no war otherwise .since the one-China policy is broken. For semiconductors, we are developing and confident in our semiconductor industry-no need to kill people from the same race.
Hahaha, say that to millions killed( starved to death) during Great Leap Forward, or during cultural revolution; and many many times in Chinese history. Did you take any history lesson in school?
Well that’s not what the government of China is saying. They’re saying that eventually they’ll have to invade, regardless of whether or not the status quo is maintained.
The everyday taiwanese just go on with life, it's been in this situation since Taiwan was developed. Taiwanese entertainiers doesn't post any political views on social media. We the western media are the one monitoring the situation. If I am Taiwanese, I'll go on with life also, because it's too depressing to think about a giant bully nextdoor on daily basis 😢
Well let us respect and aware of history. Because without consider history equally live without ethics and respect Taiwan is part of china. It always will be. There's no such a thing of Taiwanese. They are Chinese who born n grew up in Taiwan island
One other weakness that Taiwan has is Taiwan's energy infrastructure, it's an island, it's not like Germany that you guys can buy them from France (i.e. your grid is not isolated). And they (Taiwan's power plants) are also near saturation. All China needed to do is to get rid of those first, then trying to control their airspace accompanying with blockade around the island. So US must react pretty fast if it wishes to act. Additionally China is also very good with hacking. But any sort of provocation will probably spark a global blockade. I highly doubt China will do anything rash. Last time the US flew its aircraft 41 NM away from China's coast and China did nothing, which shows China can only give last warning.
French nuclear stations were offline due to maintenance for aging, they'll probably rebound this year. In the meantime, Macron announced a plan to build another 6-8 nuclear reactors.

It only takes one ROGUE Taiwanese Submarine to wreak havoc on Chinese Shipping for years, if it has the support from its neighbors. China would go bankrupt before the Silk-road Initiative was ever completed.

Taiwan is a part of China because China has 2 parts due to civil war, Taiwan of China and mainland of China. Currently both 2 parts have their own administrations but UN and almost all countries admit mainland China as the country China. Sooner or later both parts will be united because separation caused by civil war should not last long. God bless their early unity.
There are no internationally recognized treaties, policies. agreements or even UN resolutions that state that Taiwan is part of China. fact 1: Mao as demonstrated in the Marxist Archive supported Formosa's independence in 1936. Fact 2: The Cairo Declaration 1943 discussed the possibility of handing the island of Taiwan to the ROC. This discussion required a treaty to become official and was never implemented. FACT 3: October 1, 1949, at 3:00 pm in Tienanmen Square the formation of the Central People's Government under the leadership of the CPC, the government of the new state, was officially proclaimed. Mao declared victory to the people stating “The poor peasants have conquered the country; the poor peasants should now sit on the country.” “It is because we have defeated the reactionary Kuomintang government backed by U.S. imperialism that this great unity of the whole people has been achieved. In a little more than three years the heroic Chinese People's Liberation Army, “ The CPC won the civil war and the PRC was formed and the ROC escaped to the still official Japanese island of Formosa in 1949 The war is over. FACT 4: In 1949 the ROC escaped to the still official Janese island of Formosa. Fact 5: In 1952 The Treaty of San Francisco was formalised and Japan relinquished its sovereignty of Taiwan. The treaty was signed by 49 nations but both the ROC and CCP were NOT present. FACT 6: The Soviet Union was unhappy with the Treaty of San Francisco therefore the Treaty of Taipei was created in 1952. Article 10 of the Taipei Peace Treaty stipulates that “nationals of the Republic of China shall be deemed to include all the inhabitants and former inhabitants of Taiwan (Formosa) and Penghu (the Pescadores).” Therefore the Taipei Peace Treaty transferred Japans sovereignty of Taiwan to ALL the inhabitants living of the island NOT to mainland China. FACT The inhabitants in 1952 were the ROC escapees, Taiwanese Aborigines, Japanese descendants, Dutch descendants, Portuguese descendants, previous Chinese descendants. THE ISLAND WAS NOT HANDED TO MAINLAND CHINA. FACT 7: In 1971 “UN Resolution No. 2758 ruled in , that the PRC had obtained the representation rights and all legal rights originally owned by the ROC in the UN”. It is true that UN recognition was handed to the CCP as they were the ruling government of China not the ROC . The officially written UN resolution does not state that Taiwan is part of China. FACT 8: In 1979 the One China Policy was created and agreed to by both the US and CCP. To quote directly from this US/CCP 1979 agreement (1982 version is the same): "The Government of the United States of America acknowledges the Chinese position that there is but one China and Taiwan is part of China." This statement does not declare that the Taiwan is part of China. It merely states that the US acknowledges or recognizes China's position or opinion that Taiwan is part of China. The US acknowledges or recognizes China's point of view. E.g I can acknowledge that my friend is a Republican even though my political stance may be Democrat it does not state that Taiwan is part of China. Therefore the One China Policy 1979 does not state that Taiwan is part of China. 9: In 1979 Taiwan Relations Act 1979 was released at the same time as One China Policy signed by the US and Taiwan The TRA factually proves that the US is not meddling in Taiwan's affair it is merely fulfilling its obligations as per the agreement. FACT To quote from TWA: "Declares it to be the policy of the United States to preserve and promote extensive, close, and friendly commercial, cultural, and other relations between the people of the United States and the people on Taiwan, ".... "Authorizes the President or any department and agency to conduct and carry out programs, transactions, and other relations with respect to the people on Taiwan." Therefore the Pelosi visit or any official governmental visit is legitimate and of no concern to the CCP. FACT 10: TRA also declares: "that the United States shall provide Taiwan with arms of a defensive character and shall maintain the capacity of the United States to resist any resort to force or other forms of coercion that would jeopardize the security, or social or economic system, of the people of Taiwan." Therefore again the US is NOT meddling into Taiwan/China affairs it is again fulfilling its obligatory agreement irrespective of the CCP's propagandist responses. FACT 11: Taiwan is not part of China. The only legal way that the CCP can unify with Taiwan is via an official written treaty. Fact
I do not comment on whether Taiwan should become an independent country, but it is currently not one. The 13 countries recognize the Republic of China, which exists in Taiwan, as the sole legitimate government of the entire China (Mainland + Taiwan). DW News needs to get the facts straight.

Most countries don't recognise Taiwan because of fear. China doesn't invade Taiwan because of fear of losing. If World diverts semiconductor production to other countries and recognise Taiwan as an independent country things will change for better.
So true: it's always difficult to stand up to bullies/ criminals as you put yourself in danger of an escalated attack. The only way is to just do it, courage/ adrenalin are powerful. Together we can be Strom and prevail in the fight to maintain our sovereignty and freedom.
its actually greed. The CCP promises concessions and sweeter trade deals to those that recognize the CCP led China as the "true China". Basically the CCP has effectively weaponized their economy and is able to use it in any way they see fit: as a negotiation tool, as a means of coercion, as a means of bribery or temptation (many salivate at gaining access to the large increasingly wealthy middle class market in China).

Good insight into the problem. I have lived and worked (in the SemiCon industry in both Countries) and been based where AMD make their high-end μProcessors for 23 years now. It probably depends on what side of the bed that Xi Jin Ping gets out each day and I'm concerned. Equally, what happens as time goes by and what Xi Jin Ping decides thinks he wants his epitaph to be. The large consensus of Chinese engineers with whom I worked for a year in the various Shanghai Fabs was to take Taiwan back into Mainland control, without (seemingly) what the consequences might be. That worried me then and still worries me now.

Taiwan is not a country but a region. China claim Taiwan’s sovereignty all the time. It’s totally a civil war, so plz, western countries do not interfere in the internal affairs of CHINA.
Except Taiwan has never been part of the CCP, nor under its control, it is very much a country, and no, you wont get to bully a democracy into ceding to your corrupt dictatorship anytime soon.
Japan will play the key role in the Taiwan Strait crisis. And China may not be very happy for the consequences if Japan get involved in the Taiwan Strait issue.
It’ll be the end of Japan if they get involved. Their population is already declining how many more people are they willing to sacrifice for Taiwan? They want to see missiles raining down on all The major Japanese cities?
1000%. We have no choice, and Taiwan is an amazing country that is a miracle. It has gone from authoritarian totalitarian dictatorship to free democracy loving within a few decades, and it's very prosperous, equal and safe there compared to many other democracies.

It is astonishing to consider how little we have truly learned, especially when we find ourselves closer than ever to the brink of extinction.

In a democratic country everyone has their own opinion and demands, you’ll never get things done. Just look at India, largest democratic in the world yet it’s far behind that of China for many decades.
Please continue to discuss this issue.
For those who lack historical knowledge the essence is (hypothetical)
1. After American civil war the Confederates won and Union government went to Hawaii (hypothetical)
2. Britain (superpower at that time) recognizes the authority of Confederate America but through "strategic ambiguity" protects Hawaii in case of an attack.
这就是真相😂
and?
Actually, "strategic ambiguity" _was_ the way for many years, until the super power now started to become not so ambiguous. That's when the real tension started.
Then Hawaii claims independence by the Hawaii people, and the US accepts it.
Best analogy I have seen about this conflict.

It's a province, not a independent country
Technically PRC is breakaway and not ROC cause PRC never controlled Taiwan but ROC was the sole government of china
Wrong. ROC fled the civil war while they lost the support of the majority of China and thus PRC became the legal government of China eventually. It was an unfinished civil war, both mainland and Taiwan could negotiate for a mutual settlement yet the west and the selfish DPP party didn't give it a chance.
This. Mao overthrew Democracy during a vulnerable phase of China’s past, claiming that the ROC was responsible for all their problems. Then he immediately let millions starve saying “it’s better to let half the country die so the rest can eat their fill.” Democracy is evil? Riiiigghhtt….
Very true but never mentioned. There are no internationally recognized treaties, policies or UN resolutions that state that Taiwan is Part of China.
Taiwan was not even included into the PRC constitution until 1978.
So technically, the Chinese civil war hasn’t ended yet.
then why your own country recognize prc but not ROC as sole goverment of china ?
But sanctioning China wouldnt be as easy as sanctioning Russia because China is the worlds biggest manufacturer and exporter of goods. So it would be pretty much impossible for most countries ti sanction China without severly damaging themselves.
Too big to fail. It's a good move.
The US build China and sold us out to China centuries ago. Now that China has become a global power the US is jealous and want to dominate China . However it’s to late China is a beast now !

We have not won a war since World War 2 I truly believe if we take China lightly or if Japan or Australia or England don’t come through with us . We done !
Yet, China is a country that’s very reliant on imports, much more than Russia. So if a sanction does happen, it will be very effective.

I'm glad that the west has woken up to this stupidly high dependence on chips produced by one company and country in the world. More could've been done still and earlier.

Furthermore, the machinery tmc use are build in holland, i don't understand how no one in the EU political sphere has never proposed a cooperative program over chip production.
Instead we let China monopolize the export of raw material from African countries. China don't have the knowledge and the skill required to build the newest chips at the same time China was able to rise up their production of 30% in the last decade while in the west we managed to rise an 10% on global production.

Irrespective of whether Taiwan is considered a country or not does not automatically cede the sovereignty to China.
The fact is that there are no internationally recognized treaties, policies or UN resolutions that state that Taiwan is part of China.
In fact, Taiwan was not even included into the PRC constitution until 1978.
Taiwan has been under the partial control of 5 different regimes in the last 400 years in which it was only Japan who first governed the entire island. In fact the non-Han non-Mandarin speaking Qing (like the Mongols considered barbarians by the Han Chinese) only controlled about 1/5 of the island while the indigenous people controlled the majority.
The only legal way that Taiwan can amalgamate with China is if they agree to a treaty ceding their sovereignty.

None of these companies can do anything at all without ASML's machines
And ASML can't do a lot without the companies producing the semiconductors. It is a symbiotic relationship where TSMC is the most important one.
Remember the US ban advanced chips to China. Any semiconductor crisis will affect the western countries more since they are the ones who currently using the advanced chips. Think about Tesla, 3nm chips in iPhone and android phones, AI chips in Nvidia, Microsoft chat GPT chips, etc. China has SMIC and other smaller companies that make matured chips.
The only thing that can trigger the war is the leader of the Taiwan area announcing Taiwan is independent as a country, but no war otherwise .since the one-China policy is broken.

One other weakness that Taiwan has is Taiwan's energy infrastructure, it's an island, it's not like Germany that you guys can buy them from France (i.e. your grid is not isolated). And they (Taiwan's power plants) are also near saturation. All China needed to do is to get rid of those first, then trying to control their airspace accompanying with blockade around the island. So US must react pretty fast if it wishes to act. Additionally China is also very good with hacking.
But any sort of provocation will probably spark a global blockade. I highly doubt China will do anything rash. Last time the US flew its aircraft 41 NM away from China's coast and China did nothing, which shows China can only give last warning.

They are perfectly fine being separated for over 70 years. Most of the Taiwanese ppl don’t want to be part of China. So leave others alone.
There are no internationally recognized treaties, policies. agreements or even UN resolutions that state that Taiwan is part of China. fact
1: Mao as demonstrated in the Marxist Archive supported Formosa's independence in 1936. Fact
2: The Cairo Declaration 1943 discussed the possibility of handing the island of Taiwan to the ROC. This discussion required a treaty to become official and was never implemented. FACT
3: October 1, 1949, at 3:00 pm in Tienanmen Square the formation of the Central People's Government under the leadership of the CPC, the government of the new state, was officially proclaimed. Mao declared victory to the people stating “The poor peasants have conquered the country; the poor peasants should now sit on the country.” “It is because we have defeated the reactionary Kuomintang government backed by U.S. imperialism that this great unity of the whole people has been achieved. In a little more than three years the heroic Chinese People's Liberation Army, “ The CPC won the civil war and the PRC was formed and the ROC escaped to the still official Japanese island of Formosa in 1949 The war is over. FACT
4: In 1949 the ROC escaped to the still official Janese island of Formosa. Fact
5: In 1952 The Treaty of San Francisco was formalised and Japan relinquished its sovereignty of Taiwan. The treaty was signed by 49 nations but both the ROC and CCP were NOT present. FACT
6: The Soviet Union was unhappy with the Treaty of San Francisco therefore the Treaty of Taipei was created in 1952.
Article 10 of the Taipei Peace Treaty stipulates that “nationals of the Republic of China shall be deemed to include all the inhabitants and former inhabitants of Taiwan (Formosa) and Penghu (the Pescadores).” Therefore the Taipei Peace Treaty transferred Japans sovereignty of Taiwan to ALL the inhabitants living of the island NOT to mainland China. FACT The inhabitants in 1952 were the ROC escapees, Taiwanese Aborigines, Japanese descendants, Dutch descendants, Portuguese descendants, previous Chinese descendants. THE ISLAND WAS NOT HANDED TO MAINLAND CHINA. FACT
7: In 1971 “UN Resolution No. 2758 ruled in , that the PRC had obtained the representation rights and all legal rights originally owned by the ROC in the UN”. It is true that UN recognition was handed to the CCP as they were the ruling government of China not the ROC . The officially written UN resolution does not state that Taiwan is part of China. FACT
8: In 1979 the One China Policy was created and agreed to by both the US and CCP.
To quote directly from this US/CCP 1979 agreement (1982 version is the same): "The Government of the United States of America acknowledges the Chinese position that there is but one China and Taiwan is part of China." This statement does not declare that the Taiwan is part of China. It merely states that the US acknowledges or recognizes China's position or opinion that Taiwan is part of China. The US acknowledges or recognizes China's point of view. E.g I can acknowledge that my friend is a Republican even though my political stance may be Democrat it does not state that Taiwan is part of China. Therefore the One China Policy 1979 does not state that Taiwan is part of China.
9: In 1979 Taiwan Relations Act 1979 was released at the same time as One China Policy signed by the US and Taiwan
The TRA factually proves that the US is not meddling in Taiwan's affair it is merely fulfilling its obligations as per the agreement. FACT To quote from TWA: "Declares it to be the policy of the United States to preserve and promote extensive, close, and friendly commercial, cultural, and other relations between the people of the United States and the people on Taiwan, ".... "Authorizes the President or any department and agency to conduct and carry out programs, transactions, and other relations with respect to the people on Taiwan." Therefore the Pelosi visit or any official governmental visit is legitimate and of no concern to the CCP. FACT 10: TRA also declares: "that the United States shall provide Taiwan with arms of a defensive character and shall maintain the capacity of the United States to resist any resort to force or other forms of coercion that would jeopardize the security, or social or economic system, of the people of Taiwan." Therefore again the US is NOT meddling into Taiwan/China affairs it is again fulfilling its obligatory agreement irrespective of the CCP's propagandist responses. FACT
11: Taiwan is not part of China. The only legal way that the CCP can unify with Taiwan is via an official written treaty. Fact
@@vietnguyen4312 你认为中国主权需要哪个国际公认的条约来承认？。你个越南人可以支持台湾独立😂
I do not comment on whether Taiwan should become an independent country, but it is currently not one. The 13 countries recognize the Republic of China, which exists in Taiwan, as the sole legitimate government of the entire China (Mainland + Taiwan). DW News needs to get the facts straight.
*China🇨🇳 have border disputes with Taiwan, Tajikistan, Pakistan, India, Bhutan, Japan, Vietnam, Philippines.*
make border agreement & keep peace!
And yet 40 years never fight war. While the US?????
@@iggy5347 : Yet the CCP has more active border disputes than any other country.

The west ...when usa and nato attacked almost all countries in this world where was this western media ? My God over 1 million people died in Iraq within 2 months where was this media? China is rising and can't be stopped let us just accept it ,the west is more instrested on pronounce and the Alphabet people let them just keep their focus there
What a load of nonsense.
"vibrant and modern democracy" I can't count how many times I've heard that phrase... 🤢
Western self-praise.... while Germany is entering a recession and McCarthy is negotiating the US debt ceiling. They are really pathetic
Years ago, I couldn't count how many times I heard China say... "peaceful rise"... they stopped saying that now because NO ONE believes them anymore!
I appreciate this honest media.
Imagine the manufacturing aspect of the global economy shuting down
Most countries don't recognise Taiwan because of fear. China doesn't invade Taiwan because of fear of losing. If World diverts semiconductor production to other countries and recognise Taiwan as an independent country things will change for better.
So true: it's always difficult to stand up to bullies/ criminals as you put yourself in danger of an escalated attack.
The only way is to just do it, courage/ adrenalin are powerful.
Together we can be Strom and prevail in the fight to maintain our sovereignty and freedom.
its actually greed. The CCP promises concessions and sweeter trade deals to those that recognize the CCP led China as the "true China". Basically the CCP has effectively weaponized their economy and is able to use it in any way they see fit: as a negotiation tool, as a means of coercion, as a means of bribery or temptation (many salivate at gaining access to the large increasingly wealthy middle class market in China).
现在战争中赢了中国再说😂

A very simple question, is Taiwan part of China? If the answer is no, then China will openly support any separatist in your country. Sounds fair?
May as well get used to the idea that its going to happen and prepare for it. The date of 2027 is interesting.
Just tell USA stop the provocation.
Last time I checked, it wasn't the US threatening to invade Taiwan!!! Maybe you should get your head checked!
@@covertpuppytwo3857 the last I checked, was the US preached about China would invade. China themselves didn't say nor did Taiwan.
Sorry, but China is obviously the aggressor here
@Covert Puppy Two
The last time I checked US even draw a timeline China will invade Taiwan in 2027.
@@lingyt1001 Maybe you should check again... the US is only repeating what China has been saying!!! Repeating China's threats against Taiwan... is not US provocation!!! Use some common sense!
Now I understand the real reason what is behind BRICS in regards to sanctions
Taiwan's own constitution says both taiwan area and mainland area belong to China.
That’s correct
Now get out of Taiwans territory CCP
Yeah, the Republic of China.
Not the People’s Republic of China.
China is just West Taiwan.
@@Featherface01 Best comment ever!
The irony of America with the island of Hawaii and China with the island of Taiwan
The only thing matter to West is chips. When tsmc plant is up and running in USA then Taiwan will be treated as another Ukraine. Taiwan will be used to displodge China from is economic progress. The only other thing stopping USA is US debt, Americans still need China to buy is debt.
That’s why the Chinese cant afford to destroy our economy…
Mainland Chinese wants Taiwan, because they believe after conquering it, everyone in mainland will get a new house, a new car, and a higher per capital 😂
Good insight into the problem. I have lived and worked (in the SemiCon industry in both Countries) and been based where AMD make their high-end μProcessors for 23 years now. It probably depends on what side of the bed that Xi Jin Ping gets out each day and I'm concerned. Equally, what happens as time goes by and what Xi Jin Ping decides thinks he wants his epitaph to be.
The large consensus of Chinese engineers with whom I worked for a year in the various Shanghai Fabs was to take Taiwan back into Mainland control, without (seemingly) what the consequences might be. That worried me then and still worries me now.
Cuz most Chinese people still view it as a unsolved problem stemming from the Chinese civil war back in 1940s.
The consensus of Chinese engineers comes from the education that has been brainwashed since childhood (Taiwan is an integral part of China)
Paper tigers are called paper tigers for a reason, they are afraid of fire. They have been harassing Philippines sea for a long time until a subtle warning from America recently. Hopefully, lessons are drawn from the recent disintegration from the West, North Asia and the war in Ukraine. Didn't they want to boycott Micron just a few days ago but after the other suppliers do not want to give them the chips they needed, they are eating their words, inviting Micron back to China? Those Chinese engineers you worked with are brainwashed, they do not have access to the truth. Personally, it breaks my heart to see the changes in HK, hopefully, TW doesn't have to suffer the same fate.
Hopefully our lawmakers don't neutur our troops right after they start a war and really go into it trying to win...
@@willyang4487 Which is ridiculous, because Taiwanese people don't want them there. Taiwanese people who have lived there for generations are the only ones who can make decision what to do with their land and lives. Not USA, not China, nobody else. Chinese people want to invade, kill millions and take their land. If China does that, it has to be destroyed.
US must accept China will be the number 1 economy and respect them. China won't blockade Taiwan if US stays out as Taiwan is part of China, even the US acknowledge it.
Keep deluding yourself chump.
Us...Speak softly and carry a big stick.
China...speak loudly when weak, speak softly when strong.
China talking strong rn. Yeah we all know suntzu...but we also know patton.
Democracy is biggest development, Nation following democracy is where people live happily .
China should understand that building tall buildings , Fastest trains , Roads won't change them into developed nation .
Social indicators , Human rights to express their feelings out these also considered .
North korea , Afghanistan, China , Russia , Iran all same category . People live as slaves keeping mouth shut under one person dictatorship.
I am happy India is biggest democracy nation , Offcourse now we are fast developing nation in other parameters .
But in much of the developed world, democracy is just a veneer hiding fascism.
How ignorant you are.
那只能希望所有国家都和印度一样了

Hi sour 🍇,
Who cares about western media when more than 90% Chinese are happy with Chinese government?
Global - NO. Western - YES!
It's absolutely surreal if you think about it. The chip industry is completely dominated by one company, in a truly free and benign democratic country that has absolutely no desire to abuse its power to coerce anyone in the world. Meanwhile, you've got another country hellbent on taking over Taiwan based on non-existing historic justifications, at the expense of Taiwan, and the world at large.
They literally call themselves China,..
That’s what happened when you have a dictator in power who wants to flex his muscle outwards, specially when there is internal issue in China. Just look at Russian, Putin decided he wants to be Tzar one day, millions Ukrainians lost their home and life.
CHINA 🇨🇳 IS SINGING THE SAME TUNE
AS RUSSIA 🇷🇺 !
IM SURE EVERYONE CAN SEE THAT !
Losing all these... things... might actually take society back to a better time where everybody's not dependent on being trapped in their phones and disconnected from those standing next to them
Don't mess with China, it is simple
Taiwan is not a country but a region. China claim Taiwan’s sovereignty all the time. It’s totally a civil war, so plz, western countries do not interfere in the internal affairs of CHINA.
Except Taiwan has never been part of the CCP, nor under its control, it is very much a country, and no, you wont get to bully a democracy into ceding to your corrupt dictatorship anytime soon.
That's right, it's always been like that
GOD HAS ALWAYS LOVED CHINA AND HAS ALWAYS BLESSED CHINA FOREVER.

Some of the critical technology should shift to other countries.
Japan will play the key role in the Taiwan Strait crisis. And China may not be very happy for the consequences if Japan get involved in the Taiwan Strait issue.
Many thinks Japan would deserve a long due revenge if they do involve in the unsettled civil war. Or any previous colonial power.
你错了。我做为中国人.希望日本卷入台海战争。这样我就中国就能名正言顺的报复日本。
Being a nice puppy of US, Japan will do anything to please its master.
It’ll be the end of Japan if they get involved. Their population is already declining how many more people are they willing to sacrifice for Taiwan? They want to see missiles raining down on all
The major Japanese cities?
Why are you so confident that Japan gets involved and the Chinese will be unhappy?
Thanks Intel Corp for making this threat more possible by building FAB factories in the mainland rather than Portland for the past 20 years
I wonder if the World will help Taiwan with the same kind of zeal and commitment they show for Ukraine.
Im sure the neo cons and the MIC will try to fight China to the last Taiwanese
It is complicated, but probably more so
1000%. We have no choice, and Taiwan is an amazing country that is a miracle. It has gone from authoritarian totalitarian dictatorship to free democracy loving within a few decades, and it's very prosperous, equal and safe there compared to many other democracies.
They should be more like the US…Sanction free illegal wars, occupations, regime change, and proxy wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen.
Less people than you think care about Ukraine. Far less.
It never has been part of China would have thought you would know that.
It seems dw is hopping countries fighting each other. Remember this peace is always better than war. EU should find the way to solve Ukraine conflict rather than trying to advocate or provoke other going to war.
Tell it to China and russia, you know, the ones provoking wars...
warmongering has been normalized for decades. all this news will only spook the taiwanese who only want to be successful and improve standard of living like singapore. 2024 elections will likely confirm
So for peace, Ukraine and Taiwan have to be part of Russia and China! Is that what you want to say!?
The machines used to make these chips are built here in the West. So yes, there will be a short term hit, however in the medium term we'd see a war-time production level of said systems. Don't underestimate the ability of the West to route around problems.
Well said and good job Why isn't this info in this report? Smh
If Taiwan possessed nuclear weapons - this entire conversation would be over.
Taiwan was, is and always will be a province of China. For those who lack the knowledge regarding the history of Taiwan being part China, they should take a history course on China.
Always? The native people of Taiwan who are NOT CHINESE would have a thing to say about your "lack of knowledge regarding the history of THEIR island"!!!!
@@covertpuppytwo3857you mean "native people" who barely make-up 1 or 2 Percent of the island due to Chinese migration to Taiwan province?

Man just let china have that country
In 2 years, Taiwan will no longer be the only place where these chips are manufactured. This is in Taiwan's interest. China wouldn't be so focused if Taiwan were not technologically advanced.
考虑问题错误，台湾对中国是领土问题，经济不值得一提。台湾不能收复，人民会唾弃中共！习近平非常鸽派，如果通过民意投票表决，武力收复台湾民意高达90%以上，所有人都不耐烦了，没有人会关心半导体
二战后，任何中国中央政府从来没有放弃台湾的主权，无论台湾有没有半导体，藏南那么偏僻的地方中国中央政府都没有放弃。更不要说台湾。西方媒体长期误导性报道台湾问题，其实，台湾现政权是一个连所有西方国家都不承认的自治政府。
Peace is what we need fr humanity sake.
Great video!
Let's not forget that chips are only manufactured there, but the machines that make the chips are made in Europe! TMYK
Across generations, the intellect and capabilities of the human mind surpass military might. Regrettably, military power often takes precedence in the short term, leading to devastating consequences. Despite our relatively brief history on this precious planet, it has been marked by extensive violence. It is astonishing to consider how little we have truly learned, especially when we find ourselves closer than ever to the brink of extinction.
