After the American Civil War, the government of the United States of America took over the territory of the South, and the Chinese Civil War ended. The Communist Party naturally took over the remaining territories of the Kuomintang, including Taiwan.China has never violated the sovereignty of any country, and we also ask the people of Western countries not to make inappropriate remarks about Taiwan's sovereignty.You don't want to be blown up by the Dongfeng series missiles, do you?
China has violated the sovereignty of other countries... It's not a better country than any other and I dare say it is a monster as bad as the US, in a different kind... Neo-colonialism from China especially is terrible, but totally unsurprising.
As for threats, China doesn't have the ability, yet, to do that and your government knows it very well. That's why it temporizes/delays and tries to get more preparations.
Again, I agree that the Taiwan problem should be solved between China and Taiwan mostly, eventually with an international community for a respect of people's choice and dignity, and that the West has ntohing to do there, but there is no need to pretend to be an angel.
You say that China has infringed upon the sovereignty of other countries. Then I ask you who China has infringed upon?If you say Taiwan, I have already told you that Taiwan is a province of China.I want you to understand, This is China, why don't you have so much time to deal with Japan's nuclear waste discharge?You say that China is an aggressor, please provide solid evidence.
mind your attitude Foreigners,taiwan it's belong to China!always!you idiot!don't say anything to China or taiwan,you stupida brainless psychopath.Stay out of our country. Mind your own business.
De facto, it is not currently administrated by mainland China even if the goal of China is to get Taiwan back diplomatically. On the same veing, like many others said: no, it has not always been Chinese and nothing can be assured concerning the future...
Now and more importantly, look at how vindicative you are when you ask others to mind their attitude. If you want people to be nice, start by being nice yourself.
You just saw me say this, then did you see how foreign countries are denigrating China?Taiwan is China's,always.
You just saw me saying this, then did you see what I said to other people denigrating China? Taiwan didn't really belong to China before the Ming loyalists moved there. Like what, Taiwan isn't a land of opposition since just a few decades ago...
First of all, I would like to say that Taiwan belongs to China.Taiwan does not have diplomatic power, so military power is not a real country.If you've studied politics, you'll know what I mean.Besides, it's our country's business.I know that no one is perfect, everyone will be denied, but China will not care about these people, Taiwan is an integral part of China.in future,past and present.
It barely has diplomatic power only because most of the countries shit their pants at the idea not to be able to trade with China anymore, not because they don't support Taiwan in the backstage. While I agree that the problem must be resolved with China and Taiwan mainly - preferably in a diplomatic and peaceful way, once again, Taiwan wasn't so much Chinese, even less Han before the Ming loyalists and has been Japanese in between... AS for now, China doesn't rule over Taiwan or you wouldn't talk about reunification, and, concerning the future, no one should be as arrogant as to say that a territory will remains its property.
you so funny,you r not Chinese and you don't know anything.Please evaluate it after you know the history of China for 5000 years.
That's not an argument. In fact, that's even a confession of weakness from you to say that... I invite your to correct me if Taiwan was Han prior to the Ming loyalist was truly Chinese. The Ming dynasty never cared about it and left it to European, namely Dutch; the Yuan dynasty didn't care and wasn't evenreally Chinese. The Song, Tang, Sui and prior? Didn't care about Taiwan either.
As for 5000 years of history, since you are at it, Xia dynasty and the yellow emperor are mythical... Only Chineses consider it to be factual... The Shang dynasty and the Zhou were certainly not in Taiwan and didn't even occupy the South of China.
So again, Taiwan wasn't Chinese, Taiwan isn't de facto Chinese, or not belonging to mainland China, and Taiwan can't be said to be Chinese in 15, 200 or 3265 years from now.
Also, stay polite and controle your emotions. That'd be nice.
wow,You're awesome.Shall I give you an award?If you don't care about Taiwan, please don't get involved in this. Taiwan is not your home, nor is China.
You are avoiding my question and your post is nothing like an argument. Please, if you don't have anything substantial to add, abstain and get upset elsewhere.
I would like to inform Lianshen that China and France have established diplomatic relations. Your former leader, General Charles de Gaulle, clearly stated in the diplomatic communique that Taiwan is an integral part of the People's Republic of China. Are you rebelling against the former leaders of Charles de Gaulle and Pompidou
I know very well that de Gaulle was the first country of the western blcok to recognize mainland China, but, you see, I'm not de Gaulle and I don't have to deal with his diplomatic issues, so I can also say that the CCP is not governing Taiwan and that even you and your government know and admit it or you wouldn't talk about reunification.
Now, what does your statement change to what I said previously which is that China and Taiwan should deal with it by themselves and eventually with an external view to make sure that it's done diplomatically and eventuallyy democratically?
As for Pompidou, no, I don't acknowledge traitors to their country.
Taiwan's return is only a matter of time, so it is part of China.

Strawman, sweet strawman. I didn't talk about Taiwan, although I could say that... Your government doesn't manage that island at all yet, or this topic wouldn't even exist. Now, I say that Belgium is a province of France, so if France fly over Belgium it's nothing like a violation.
As for your question past your made up answer: Philippines and many border countries. China basically is very much fond in sovereingity when it is its sovereignity or the one of the countries that provide an interest to China... but very loosy when it comes to others' sovereignity.
Not well that I'm not blaming China for that, it's normal for most of "powerful" countries to do that. It's only very funny to see people claiming that this or that country is so nice and other are so bad when most of them are just bullies or closet bullies.

That's not how it works. Or should I mention "long united must divide", hence, Taiwan will separate again and, hence, is not a part of China ?

So, please, correct me if I said something wrong earlier about Taiwan not being of any relevance for chinese dynasties prior to Qing/Ming loyalists, or else, just accept it as it is... Taiwan hasn't been Chinese for most of its history.

Taiwan was a vassal state of China,Until the end of the Qing Dynasty.However, the Japanese invaders plundered Taiwan, and Taiwan claimed to be a country in order not to be invaded, but in fact still belonged to China.I don't want to talk about what you Europeans did to China in the early 20th century.At the Paris Peace Conference, China's Shandong Province was transferred from the Germans to Japan, and the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China and had various unequal treaties.Because China was divided up and almost destroyed, so a lot of land and treasure lost.Taiwan was occupied by Japan at that time, so now we want to come back. You don't understand that.Because your ancestors were robbers.

You say China invaded Taiwan, then you show your evidence.If you have no proof, what's the difference between you and American imperialism?What are your intentions to fabricate the theory of harmfulness in China?Don't you have a brain of your own? You can't think? You don't see China uniting countries, rather than joining NATO like others.Did China invade France?Is China interfering in other countries' internal affairs?Think before you speak with your great brain.
I don't understand why there is a Gallic chicken in the forum who is overturning right and wrong, trampling on China's sovereignty recklessly. The Niger riots smashed the French embassy, which precisely indicates that Western countries are still interfering in the internal affairs of other countries, and imperialism has never dissipated from them
In all European countries, the majority of people are like this. If you tell them 'Taiwan belongs to China', they will only answer 'Okay!' and continue living their daily lives. Only those with extreme opinions will openly discuss this issue, and those who believe that 'it's none of our business' are not interested in it or believe that they need to participate.
Those who hold extreme opinions are mostly brainwashed by American media and hold hostility towards China, which is more common on the internet. The American media is very good at portraying China as an evil land full of suffering, so these people believe they need to save the people of Taiwan. They have no knowledge or interest in learning more about China and the Taiwan Strait issues. They do not know the local history or culture, nor do they know that the people living in Taiwan are basically Chinese from the Chinese Mainland in the past. They just repeat what they see and read in American media.
Therefore, some Chinese people may mistakenly believe that Westerners hold this view, but in reality, it is only a few people who have been brainwashed and harbored hostility towards China on the internet. Anyway, everyone has their own stance and different channels of obtaining information, and debates cannot change the views of a few people.
Taiwan is part of China for many reasons. First of all, in history, Taiwan has always been a part of China. Since ancient times, China's culture, people and political power have been closely linked to Taiwan. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Taiwan was formally incorporated into the territory of China and became a province of China.Secondly, according to the principles of international law, including the Charter of the United Nations, Taiwan is part of China. At the end of World War II in 1945, Taiwan was returned to China by Japan in accordance with the Potsdam Proclamation, which further consolidated Taiwan's status as a Chinese territory.Third, the People's Republic of China is the sole legal power in China, which, after its establishment in 1949, inherited the sovereign status of the Republic of China, including sovereignty over Taiwan. Although the Republic of China government later moved to Taiwan and took control of the area, this did not change China's claim to Taiwan's territory.Finally, the Chinese government has always adhered to the "one China" principle, which states that Taiwan is part of China and there are no two separate Chinas. This principle has been widely recognized and respected by the international community, and the vast majority of countries have established diplomatic relations with China and recognized Taiwan as part of China.In short, Taiwan's status as Chinese territory is based on history, international law and political recognition. The Chinese government will remain committed to safeguarding national unity and territorial integrity.
The above is the answer of Chatgpt China's official website, it seems that AI is more self-aware than Westerners. The Chinese government didn't limit our thinking. Chatgpt found investment companies in China and had a website in China so we didn't have to use stupid international websites.
Its totally uninteresting what was 500 or 100 years ago. Before World War I and II the countries in Europe had different borders - and do they claim we want Osmania or Yugoslawia back? Or Germany the part in the East (now Poland).
China want Taiwan because of the Semiconductor industry (TSMC - the largest manufacturer in the world). If China controls Taiwan, they control TSMC.
And regarding non invasions of other countries: What about Nepal? What about Uiguries?
China does not want to own that stupid company TSMC to make chips. Liberating Taiwan represents the dignity of every Chinese citizen. Germans and French and Americans have nothing to do with this.
Taiwan was a vassal state of China, [...] so now we want to come back.
Admitting that Taiwan was a vassal state of China, Korea has been one of the longest and most loyal vassal state of China yet was Korea and still is Korea.
Back to Taiwan, starting from when? ""all the time""? Why was Taiwan colonized by Europeans without much reaction fromt he Ming if the island was of any value to the Middle Empire?
You say it yourself that Japan also invaded Taiwan. In fact, it's worse than that, Japan made people in Taiwan speak Japanese and there are still old people there speakjing this language. In this context, was Taiwan still Chinese? Just because "no, it's part of China!" even though your country failed to keep it from the invaders?
You talk about the century of humiliation, but please, don't forget that the Qing dynasty was as arrogant as the West today,thinking to be better than everyone and the center of the world, then anihilating all efforts (100 days reform) of modernization to fall even further. A country is never only a spectator to its downfall.
You don't understand that.Because your ancestors were robbers.
No, my ancestors were most likely only peasants, sorry to disappoint you. Your statement, however, is a slave mentality of someone who only seeks for revenge and that's what I dislike the most about China : the country is full of resentment and doesn't accept that other point out its flaws.
Now, you said that you want to "come back", as if the world didn't change and what was Chinese someday must be Chinese at all cost. With this logic, then Greece can invade everything till the border with China, ITaly can invade all mediteranean border and Japan... Well, Japan can take back China, because ""it was japanese".
I've never been against China getting power and doing its things, and once again -it's very tiring to repeat it- I believe that Taiwan and China should resolve their problems between them, and thus despite I see Europeans feeding China as the worst mistake in our history, and that the raise of your country is a threat to any place in Europe, but here you come to complain about minor things just because I don't fully agree with you and I'm not fully blind about your country.
You say China invaded Taiwan [...] Think before you speak with your great brain.
I never said that China invaded Taiwan, but I invite you to prove it if you think I did. Even in the case I did , then that's not what imperialism is... As for my brain, thank you but that's, again, not an argument. I know it's hard for you to conceive that I can't fully agree with you, but not licking your ass is precisely a sign that I also can think by myself and not only foillow your opinion like a simp. Sorry about that, really.
AS for China uniting country, well... Partly I agree, yes, but if you had taken the time to read the thread or other post I made, you would have seen that I consider NATO to be utter garbage and an imperialist tool of the US. Too bad, you didn't bother with it.
Concerning China interfering with other countries, yes! You'd know it if you were interested in the external policies of your country and about how EU works for isntance. China literally bought Greece and makes it a shield that can prevent any decision to go against China's interest within EU. In Africa, China is a neo-colonialist with the US and both of them are kicking out former colonial powers. Better than that, they pretend to be savior before mining the econoomy there, bringing their own workers so that locals remain jobless and pollute like hell some areas.
In other poor countries, they set debt-traps; give them loans for some stupid projects and oncce the country can't pay because the loan became overly unreasonable, then they ask for land or politically relevant pieces of the country.
[bad renting that is offtopic]
I invite you to read carefully the title of the topic, then my posts, before complaining and falling for personal attacks and an obvious lack of argumentation.
In all European countries, the majority of people are like this. If you tell them 'Taiwan belongs to China', they will only answer 'Okay!' and continue living their daily lives. [...] Anyway, everyone has their own stance and different channels of obtaining information, and debates cannot change the views of a few people.
I think you fail to realize nuances. If you can't accept that someone say that China is not a good country and provide arguments for it, then the dogmatic probably isn't the "westerner" but the Chinese who want others to lick their ass to be satisfied.
It is highly incoherent to believe that US is just a good country like the propaganda states in the Western block,but so it is to think that China is any better. That's not hostily, but realism.
As for most of people in European countries, they'd likely tell you that Taiwan is Taiwan and China is bad. They wouldn't bother to debate on this and quickly leave in front of the over-emotive individuals getting mad at them...
The above is the answer of Chatgpt China's official website, it seems that AI is more self-aware than Westerners. The Chinese government didn't limit our thinking. Chatgpt found investment companies in China and had a website in China so we didn't have to use stupid international websites.
""ChatGPT said!"
Well, I've seen ChatGPT saying that Taiwan is not part of China, as well as I've seen this AI saying many incoherent things but surely it is an argument. What's kind of ironic here is to ressort to this kind of tool showing an inability to argue by oneself before complaining and talking about being "aware", "thinking" etc.
Now, come to the content of this answer:
- Taiwan has always been a part of China : No and I already said why.
- Taiwan get formally incorporated to China's territory : That's literally contradicting the previous statement... Plus it was only after Han colonization of the Island. Before this, Taiwan was like pre-greek Sicily: an island of autochtonous "barbarians".
- Taiwan is Chinese because of the Charter of the UN. Why..? Because! This look rather like a mythical excuse, and typical of the Chinese governemnt : Very much double standards about sovereigntys... Sounds like another country's behaviour in North America... What about people's right to self determination if Taiwanese refuse to be part of PCR?
- Taiwan got returned to China by Japan after WWII. Yes, then there have been a civil war and the looser of this war occupied Taiwan, just like Ming loyalists back then. Surely Taiwan belonged to the Qing in 1660's to 1680's too..
- Republican of China took controle of Taiwan, and this didn't change the PRC claims. Well, yes, but how does a claim make someone the legal owner of a place? As far as I know, Taiwan claimed mainland China too.
- One China principle has been widely recognized : Visibly not so much considering all the western block doesn't see China's desire of reunification with Taiwan well. In Fact, you are contradicting this very statement when complainign about westerners here...
- Vast majority of countries have established relations with China, recognizing Taiwan as part of China: Well, yes, but no. They did that by opportunism and interest, China offering a lot of benefits. This doesn't mean that most of countries are thinking that Taiwan belongs to China and you again contradict yourself when complaining about how bad are western countries and people.
I know that once again, some will be "muuuuh blablabla weeeeest" or "wawawa why talking about China". so inb4 and again: The fact that the West shouldn't spread discord in Taiwan-China reunification process, and that it would eventually lead to Taiwan returning to China in the end doesn't mean that people have to gobble any fantasy about China being heaven on Earth and guardian of the peace and respect. It simply is not the case despite qualities China might have.
Taiwan was a vassal state of China, [...] so now we want to come back.

AS for China uniting country, well... Partly I agree, yes, but if you had taken the time to read the thread or other post I made, you would have seen that I consider NATO to be utter garbage and an imperialist tool of the US. Too bad, you didn't bother with it.
Concerning China interfering with other countries, yes! You'd know it if you were interested in the external policies of your country and about how EU works for isntance. China literally bought Greece and makes it a shield that can prevent any decision to go against China's interest within EU. In Africa, China is a neo-colonialist with the US and both of them are kicking out former colonial powers. Better than that, they pretend to be savior before mining the econoomy there, bringing their own workers so that locals remain jobless and pollute like hell some areas.
In other poor countries, they set debt-traps; give them loans for some stupid projects and oncce the country can't pay because the loan became overly unreasonable, then they ask for land or politically relevant pieces of the country.
[bad renting that is offtopic]
I invite you to read carefully the title of the topic, then my posts, before complaining and falling for personal attacks and an obvious lack of argumentation.
In all European countries, the majority of people are like this. If you tell them 'Taiwan belongs to China', they will only answer 'Okay!' and continue living their daily lives. [...] Anyway, everyone has their own stance and different channels of obtaining information, and debates cannot change the views of a few people.
I think you fail to realize nuances. If you can't accept that someone say that China is not a good country and provide arguments for it, then the dogmatic probably isn't the "westerner" but the Chinese who want others to lick their ass to be satisfied.
It is highly incoherent to believe that US is just a good country like the propaganda states in the Western block,but so it is to think that China is any better. That's not hostily, but realism.
As for most of people in European countries, they'd likely tell you that Taiwan is Taiwan and China is bad. They wouldn't bother to debate on this and quickly leave in front of the over-emotive individuals getting mad at them...
The above is the answer of Chatgpt China's official website, it seems that AI is more self-aware than Westerners. The Chinese government didn't limit our thinking. Chatgpt found investment companies in China and had a website in China so we didn't have to use stupid international websites.
""ChatGPT said!"
Well, I've seen ChatGPT saying that Taiwan is not part of China, as well as I've seen this AI saying many incoherent things but surely it is an argument. What's kind of ironic here is to ressort to this kind of tool showing an inability to argue by oneself before complaining and talking about being "aware", "thinking" etc.
Now, come to the content of this answer:
- Taiwan has always been a part of China : No and I already said why.
- Taiwan get formally incorporated to China's territory : That's literally contradicting the previous statement... Plus it was only after Han colonization of the Island. Before this, Taiwan was like pre-greek Sicily: an island of autochtonous "barbarians".
- Taiwan is Chinese because of the Charter of the UN. Why..? Because! This look rather like a mythical excuse, and typical of the Chinese governemnt : Very much double standards about sovereigntys... Sounds like another country's behaviour in North America... What about people's right to self determination if Taiwanese refuse to be part of PCR?
- Taiwan got returned to China by Japan after WWII. Yes, then there have been a civil war and the looser of this war occupied Taiwan, just like Ming loyalists back then. Surely Taiwan belonged to the Qing in 1660's to 1680's too..
- Republican of China took controle of Taiwan, and this didn't change the PRC claims. Well, yes, but how does a claim make someone the legal owner of a place? As far as I know, Taiwan claimed mainland China too.
- One China principle has been widely recognized : Visibly not so much considering all the western block doesn't see China's desire of reunification with Taiwan well. In Fact, you are contradicting this very statement when complainign about westerners here...
- Vast majority of countries have established relations with China, recognizing Taiwan as part of China: Well, yes, but no. They did that by opportunism and interest, China offering a lot of benefits. This doesn't mean that most of countries are thinking that Taiwan belongs to China and you again contradict yourself when complaining about how bad are western countries and people.
I know that once again, some will be "muuuuh blablabla weeeeest" or "wawawa why talking about China". so inb4 and again: The fact that the West shouldn't spread discord in Taiwan-China reunification process, and that it would eventually lead to Taiwan returning to China in the end doesn't mean that people have to gobble any fantasy about China being heaven on Earth and guardian of the peace and respect. It simply is not the case despite qualities China might have.
This is an international board, not a Chinese one and the lingua franca is English, not mandarin, so please respect the rules. I'm not going to switch to a translator again and again for your comfort and will only answer you this; If I said that China invaded Taiwan, prove it in English and quote my words.
