Taiwan is still a colony of China (ROC)/Carlos Pueblo
The National
status of Taiwan will be a campaign issue in 2020 of the
Presidential
election. Basically, we like to think that Taiwan is an independent
nation in
the world even though China think that Taiwan is a renegade province
of China,
President Tsai of Taiwan thinks that Taiwan is a nation called the
Republic of
China. It is very interesting. Mayor Ko of Taipei says that Taiwan is
an abnormal
nation. This is what I think after my whole life understanding of
the politic.
In theory, Taiwan is still a colony of a diminished China, the Republic
of China,
1911-1949. The defeated Nationalist Chinese under Chiang Kai-sek
brought his
army and took exile in Taiwan and claimed as a Free China in different
from the
Communist China. Taiwan’s free China is neither free nor China.
Several
weeks ago, during a 228 Massacre memorial, Professor Chen of Taida
presented documents
of the Nationalist Chinese Army to Taiwan to take over
Japanese 50
years occupation. She insists that is not a turn over legitimacy of
Taiwan to
China but a temporary arrangement after the War. There was no
Peace Treaty
settled or signed for the future of Taiwan at all. Taiwan is an
Island of
36,000 square kilometers and contained 7 million people at that time. In
the U.S.,
any piece of real estate transaction must be signed and formally closed
to make the
title or right changed. I understand that Taiwan is a minor interest of
the U.S. and
the U.S. doesn’t care whatever they have paid to defeat Japan. Chiang
took
advantage of this and occupied Taiwan as a recovered land. Now, China thinks
the same
way, they are the replacement of Chiang’s Nationalist China; therefore,
they are
entitle to have Taiwan and if not peacefully taking over, they would use
force to
conquer Taiwan.
People are
asking mayor Ko if he would run for the President of Taiwan in 2020
and his
answer is simple and logical that you must wait and by changing President
of Taiwan,
the Republic of China, can do little to improve Taiwan. It is because that
the ROC is a
bad vehicle in car accidents. His conclusion as a surgeon to analyze
the reasons
of car accidents and find not to blame the drivers, in 20 years after Taiwan
have had
National election of President, there are 3 Presidents elected and 15 Premiers
appointed
and the general public are still not satisfied. It is the vehicle problem. In
Taiwan,
you cannot
amend or taught that stupid, outdated Constitution of the ROC because
Taiwan is
not Taiwan and the ROC is covered at least two sovereign Nations, PRC and
Outer
Mongolia. I don’t see that anything can be done anytime to improve the future
of
Taiwanese
National status.
However,
this is what I firmly believe that if we can keep the Nationalist Chinese
Party,
the KMT, out
of power forever, we may have the opportunity to improve while waiting
for our
bright future.
