It is common sense
Taiwan is an independent country.
It's a beautiful country.
Welcome to Taiwan.

Does Taiwan Have TH-cam Because When I Go To The People's Republic Of China There's Only Youku
羅德夫. I don’t have anything against the Chinese people. But I hate the Chinese government
Taiwan no.1
Okay 👍 i will go to Taiwan in the Future. Thanks for invitation 😍
"Part of China"
"Gained independence"
you high bro?
Yep
Technically they’re part of it.

Besides they used to be the bad guys before escaping to present day ROC

Did you know Taiwan 🇹🇼 has 35 Provinces , and of course including Mainland
@@josephabraham254 yes I'm Taiwanese and what you said is kinda wrong, Taiwan used to be a part of China until 1894 when China lost war with Japan but after 1945 Taiwan is Taiwan
Taiwan ---- a independent country ,,,,,,

No it is not.
Is Punjabi an independent country?
@@tobyli52 There is nothing like Punjabi , it's just a language of Punjab .
@@tobyli52 I regret the limitations of your intellect……
Taiwan is not a part of China😭
Improve your history Google the history of Taiwan
you are right.
If you say Taiwan is not part of China ,then you have to read the history of Taiwan!!,then prove it with concret evidence!!
So before 1945 where did Taiwan belonged to ??
Can you tell me where did Taiwan originally belong to historically???
We all Taiwanese people are thoroughly against the Communist China, but we earnestly welcome people from all over the world.

Would Taiwan have close ties with Hong Kong in any way?
This is why I love Taiwan.
@@almason253 I hope that after Hong Kong gets its independence. That it will be a ally to Taiwan.
The best thing about Taiwan are the people of Taiwan, Kind , friendly and helping. Indeed a very beautiful country. Love from India.
Hi You missed the most important things. Taiwan have world No. 1 Health care insurances system. Well organized medical system.
Tested by covid and proved (y )
That's right! Taiwan has #1 medical system in the world, especially on covid19 we did the best.
Ph can't relate🥴
Taiwan is NOT a part of China. Chinese government TECHNICALLY DO NOT own the sovereignty of Taiwan. ROC and PRC only share the very similar country title, but Taiwan is an independent country by many of the definitions.
Elaine Lin Thank you so much!
Taiwan is not a part of China, it is a part of Republic of China. Thus China is not China. You are such moron.
@@karinzhou7958 The UN doesn't care about Republic of China. They only care about the name of China, and so do other 200 countries on this planet. You could go check all the hotel and flight ticket booking system and you can only find Taiwan, instead of ROC as a recognition to the world, which shows nobody calls us ROC. No one cares about your feeling or your glory history of Chiang Kai Shek. If you'd like to make China not to be called as China, wish you luck. We'll see who's more like a naive moron.
@@elainelin5189 Yes, Taiwan is just a name, CCP always calls you as Taiwan, however, Taiwan, China.
@@karinzhou7958 As I said, if you'd like everybody else not to call PRC China, wish you luck! I respect your belief but I personally don't give a damn about the name of China.
Wtf, Taiwan is NOT a part of China, perhaps you should brush up on your own knowledge before even thinking of making a video with such a title smh
it is part of China
there are 2 Chinese states PRC and ROC Taiwan is part of ROC
Taiwan is not a country, it is recognized as part of China, IT IS CALLED THE REPUBLIC OF CHINA and they have to go under the name "CHINESE TAIPEI" for olymics. Yet it is a sovereign state with their own political system. I know a lot of Taiwanese, including ppl from my school that try to be like " oh we are independent, screw you Chinese ppl" but still, even though Taiwan is pretty much independent but it is still recognized as a part of China no matter you like it or not. and no hate pls just stating the facts that I, as a TAIWANESE, have to admit. Apparently, most Taiwanese are covered with mindlessness and blinded by the mask that hides the truth...
可怜
P W P W Taïwan IS a country ! It’s not a part of the PRC aka mainland China. Since 1949 Taiwan is a independent country, the Taiwanese elect their presidents for their country. Mainland China has nothing to do with Taiwan . The only reason why Taiwan is not recognised by a lot of countries is because of the pressures from mainland China. Remember that Taiwan was recognised as China in the NU since the creation and until 1972. Mainland China required a choice for the countries, whether The Republic Of China (Taiwan) or People’s Republic of China (Mainland China). If you chose Taiwan, ROC will stop all the economic, politics supports and officials relation with the countries. That’s the truth.
It is part of China. The gov is called Republic of China bro!
Living in Taiwan 8 years now, hoping to live here for a very long time.

@@user-pg8ys2dj5x are u Taiwanese
@@aboaboyahciciniko7132 Where are you from? I believe it would be easy for you to visit Taiwan by just getting a ticket to Taiwan from your country with/without visa.
@@soul18700 ok thank u
taiwanese here. i differentiate myself when people refer to me or taiwanese as chinese. i always correct and educate them. logic is simple: we don't call people in the u.s. english just because those who declared independence came from england or spoke the same language. also, when people refer to "americans" we know they mean people from u.s., not canadians, even though they are technically americans as well.
However, you use a Chinese family name 李。Do not tell us, your ancestor came from Korea, because Korean Lee is also given by our Chinese. Before you say you are not Chinese, 1. establish a country Named as Taiwan, do not steal the country name from China. ROC is abbr. of Republic of China! 2. Taiwan is a part of China. please leave China alone and go to your mother land Japan to establish a NEW country named Taiwan. By the way, Taiwan is given by our Chinese. Why do you use this name?! Moron
@@karinzhou7958 lol, you sound like fatty xi in his notorious new year speech. there is a reason that lee is spelled differently in taiwan, korea, singapore, and the old hk (before it fell to communist in 1997). when we travel around the world we say our family name with pride, and that people know that we are not some chinese defect spelled as li. happy new year to you and please do not spread the swine plague.
+Karin Zhou we confess we are Chinese because our blood is truely chinese blood, but if nation, then we will say that we are taiwanese
@@jinlk34 You are not under Repbulic of China? Republic of China is not China? Repbulic of China is Taiwan? Kinmen and Matsu is Taiwan? you are a bubblehead.
@@jinlk34 the same thing 林 is not 林, 林 is Lin. And you are now an American. LMAO
I am from The USA, and I have been living in Taiwan for almost 12 years. Trust me, Taiwan is not a part of China . Mainland Chinese need a passport to enter Taiwan.
so what they need visa to enter Hongkong too. btw the US doesn't even recognize Taiwan as a country they broke diplomatic ties with Taiwan and now support the "One China Policy"
William S Mainland Chinese needs a passport if he wants to go to HK, but HK is a SAR of China
Taiwan is exactly a part of China internationally, the people who say Taiwan is a country called "台獨分子", but in Taiwan, most people are not ”台獨分子“, the failure of the public voting called《以台灣為名申請參加2020年東京奧運公投案》 has proved it.
Robert Calloway agree!
California is a country,Hawaii too👌
Love everything about this video, except the "Taiwan is part of China" crap. Where did you get this misinformation from???
Maybe from a textbook provided by Confucius Institute
Ming Chien Ever heard of the Republic of China?
*sigh* it is part of China it is part of 1 of the 2 Chinese states that claim to be the true Chinese government
the communist regime known as the peoples Republic of China or (PRC) is the larger more powerful dictatorship that most people call "China"
the 100 year old Republic of China (ROC) or better known as Taiwan still lives on the island of Taiwan to this day and is the governing figure over the island and sense 1975 has lived in a half life as most of the worlds nations including the U.S do not see the ROC as being the real China
but behind closed doors the ROC and the west still trades with each other and the west still sees any hostile action on the ROC as a ct of war as many western nations still see the Republic of China as the only weapon that can beat the communist regime to the ground
and that is a quick history of the situation between Taiwan and China
@@thedoctorairsoft6813 yes, you know it and I know it too; however to most others, China without elaboration simply means PRC, and this is confusing to most. We don't need anyone to be confused by it.
You can get this " misinformation" in roc (aka Taiwan) constitution
Taiwan is NOT a part of China. You got a dislike for disrespecting 23.5 million people + the ones living overseas.
But which China do her means
@God is great- America is great if Taiwan is part of China, then you tell me why the CCP cannot do anything to control Taiwan? The objective answer is that they cannot control Taiwan and there is no CCP or PLA presence on Taiwan. You can't deny that the critical elements of a provincial government within the People's Republic of China simply don't exist on Taiwan. Taiwan is independence and that's a fact, even if you wish very hard it weren't
@God is great- America is great they don't need to declare independence, they are already independent. It's simple logic. Other countries don't need to recognize Taiwan, because whether it's recognized or not doesn't change the fact that the PRC cannot control Taiwan directly. It can somewhat control it through diplomatic and military pressure, but if it passes a law concerning Taiwan it can do absolutely nothing. The people of Taiwan do not pay taxes to the government of the PRC and Taiwan has no representatives in the government of the PRC. China simply doesn't own Taiwan
Taiwan Is An Independent Country. It's Very Beautifull.
Taiwan is not a country search it on internet
Senyeh Gunna - Hence it’s the name of the island but the Government that rules it ousted the Qing in 1911 and lost control of most of mainland China in 1949-50 thus separating the country into two governments with the Nanking authorities held on to Taiwan and small parts of Fukien. The Peking Communist regime has solidified control of the mainland and Hainan ever since.
Senyeh Gunna TAiWAN is a country for his self
There is no country called Taiwan. It is a name for its geography location. They claim to be Republic of China. That is written in the law
@@senyehhsu3367 Taiwan is a country officially Republic of China
Thank you for making a video of our country, Taiwan. I would just like to mention that Taiwan was never a part of China. And will never be.
李湛元 Taiwan no. 1 :)

I'm Taiwanese. It's good to see that there's a video to introduce our country. Feeling proud and glad, I love everything in this video except for "Technically , Taiwan is a part of China." We are NOT a part of China, I have no idea what happened to the name of the airline. But I do know that our culture, the way we talk and think.... almost EVERYTHING are DIFFERENT from China!
I totally agree this vid is making some of us (Taiwanese ) kinda angry
But you are ethnically Chinese. Real Taiwanese people are aborigines/austronesians. How you guys claim ethnically different from china is mental illness
Taiwan is one of my favorite countries
Twice I heard you say Taiwan is part of china (and im commenting from the 9 minute mark.... #TaiwanIsNotChina . Just because China wishes it, does not make it true. It would be a pretty good video if it were actually factually accurate in this regard.
Hey, you even have ROC’s flat for thumbnail. That is Republic of China mate. There is only 1 China. Let’s end the civil war
Taiwan is an independent country. Love from India.

Taiwan is definitely more influenced by Japan because Taiwanese are polite like Japanese, Chinese are often rude and impolite. Taiwan and Japan often helps each other out, while China is always threatening Taiwan. Taiwan is always helping the world, but China is always creating chaos in the world. If you visit Taiwan and perhaps live here for a while you’ll know that it’s completely different from China and Taiwan is truly an independent country.
Those in the know ..know❤
🇹🇼TAIWAN ≠ 🇨🇳China
Sean Ryan U r right. Taiwan is not China. No one would say Canton is China. Taiwan is only part of China. Taiwan is part of China. Mainland and Taiwan are seperatedly governed by two governments as a result of China's civil war during 1945~1949. Taiwan is never a country. Taiwan is just a province of China, no matter you refer China to People's Republic of China or Republic of China. Never deny the history and never try to seperate Taiwan from China.
@@oliverhuang9846 I don't understand why there are so many USers say Taiwan is a country,they know nothing about Chinese history,just because their government wants that?

Taiwan is my 2nd home but whenever I go vacation to Philippines, I can't wait to go back!
I've been living here for 3yrs now, I brought my wife and daughter here and been here for a year now.
Its so easy to live here and get comfortable, the people are calm and very helpful.
The food and housing and commodities are cheap, the public transport is is efficient.
Taiwanese people are peaceful and Taiwan in general is a peaceful and safe place to live.
They have their own uniqueness. There's no comparison

Deeply touched.

I think Taiwan is a really beautiful place to visit, and the food there is just amazing! Make sure you don't miss it.
I'm so glad that this platform introduces so many different kinds of information, I really appreciate that. Thank you very much for this video.
I wonder who did all these research? Lol... lots of crap. To name a few: 1. Since when tw gain independence? 2. Since when tw is part of China? 3. Since when there are 4 tigers? 4 dragons please...5. Taiwanese eat dogs and cats? Haha... probably rabbits and snakes..

Seriously, why would people think Taiwan belongs to China😂😂😂 🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼💕
Judy Weng Ever heard of the Republic of China?
安荣 yes, that’s the official name of Taiwan. And the official name of China is People Republic of China. They simply have very similar official names. It doesn’t mean they’re the same. It’s like Korea. There’s North Korea and there’s South Korea. They both have the word “Korea” in there official names. However, it doesn’t mean they are ONE Korea.
Judy Weng Of course! For you China and Taiwan, SK and Nk are completely different but both irrelevant countries, so of course you wouldn't care. But for us, the two China, the two Korea, the two Vietnam (in the past), we're the same, we're brothers with disagreements. We all have families in the other part, we all have same history, most people in ROC now is from mainland and a lot of them recognize themselves as Chinese... How can you say irrelevant?
it is part of China
theres 2 Chinese states PRC and ROC Taiwan is part of the Republic of China or (ROC)
main land China or communist China is called the Peoples Republic of China or PRC for short
Because if a country wanna build up a diplomatic relation with China, it has to acknowledge Taiwan is part of China
Thank u for introducing my country Taiwan 🇹🇼
As a Taiwan native, I have to say there are a lot of misinformation, mistaken notions, and otherwise inaccurate portraits of Taiwan in this video, irrespective of its other qualities. For one thing, China Airlines was so named because at the time of its formation, it was mostly government backed and financed, and Taiwan's (a geographic name only and never an official name) official name is Republic of China. Sigh......
i know i fell ya man i might be a Texan but i hate it when idiots think that Taiwan is a real nation when in reality it is part of the Republic of China
so true, now all our jobs are going to china and they are taking all the businesses and control of the government and favor of other government who usually dont align with the PRC
@@thedoctorairsoft6813 the US sold fighter jets to Taiwan. Pretty sure they would never sell military hardware to China.
@@nicktubby9710 *sigh*
No i said the Republic of China aka Taiwan.
Not the peoples Republic of China (China)
Dose that make sense now?
Republic of China (Taiwan)
Peoples Republic of China =bad China fake China evil China mainland China.
Its basic history that people know that the ROC fell back to Taiwan after the civil war
I can't wait to go!

Can i ask u a question that what is the best university taught good about hotel- tourist management in your country .. thanks
I love Taiwan 🇹🇼
Been there quite a few times and still willing to go back :)
From historical view, Taiwan is the authentic and old China! The name "China" has been wrecked by mainland China which is communist China tho.
Jacob Drumemory that is actually correct according to history
Jacob Drumemory - Yep. The heirs of the Qing, Ming and the earlier Chinese empires.
@God is great- America is great um.... You can go and take that China name, no one wants to argue this with you. And why you bother taking foreign information to tell me Taiwanese that my country does not exist? Have you interviewed Taiwanese in TW about this? I don't use your China's passport to go abroad. I travel with Taiwan's passport. I gain no benefits from being recognized as Chinese as far as I experienced.

Taiwanese food is the best in the world.
Totally true 👍👍👍
True 👍🏻
Kavalan whiskey, steamed dumplings, beef noodle, bread. Taiwanese food makes my mouth water
*sigh* Taiwan is not a nation....its part of the Republic of China (not to be confused with the peoples Republic of China)
the people there Chinese traditional (even more real then the PRC version of Chinese)
the people view them self as mostly Chinese and so on so....... as someone who has studied history sense i was 6 years old i have to ask
wtf is Taiwanese?
You mean Chinese food or Min food?
East-Asian countries are so awesome
And among us, Taiwan is the best ☀️
How misleading could this be, “China lost it’s control over the sovereignty, and that’s when Taiwan gained its independence”, I mean, it was Republic of China who was in charge of Taiwan after Second World War and it still is, therefore, I’m not sure what the independence refers to, or independence from whom? Taiwan was never once controlled by People’s Republic of China or the Chinese communism party?
Glacial Magicalboy you are right. In fact, it was actually the communists(prc) who were controlled by the roc
@God is great- America is great I don't see any contradictions between the comment we made, we both agree that Taiwan is not a country but rather a province of China, but problem lies deeper on who owns the title of China in general whether it's PROC or ROC, since both side claimed that they're China in their constitutional law, and the rightful owner of all it's land.
Im Filipino and I love Taiwan so much! I could they are as polite and disciplined as the Japanese. Taiwanese people are very awesome
We have our own governmental system, our national flag and passport, of course we are not part of China. However, people from China really like saying something untrue via Yutube, Facebook which they are not allowed to use in their country in order to brainwash other people who don’t have clear understanding about Taiwan. That’s why most Taiwanese hate Chinese people so much, it’s too ridiculous to be part of them, but as you know, in all aspects, China is almost the most powerful country in the world, they do not only control other developing and undeveloped countries by loaning them funds which those country could never pay back on time just to control the infrastructure of those countries, but also try to stop Taiwan from attending to some international platforms. Just one example, one month ago there’s a country located in South America passed the free visa policy for Taiwanese tourists, we are happy with that, however, when this news came to China, just one day, that country canceled the policy. So I guess it’s pretty reasonable why we hate China so much. And we will never consider ourselves as part of China.
台灣是中國的一部分是世界共識且是事實。存在於PRC和ROC的憲法，聯合國中的每一國的外交認知。在事實改變以前，台灣都不是一個國家。應該是有一個國家在台灣土地上。
No matter what you say, Taiwan is not part of China, we are not under Chinese Government’s control as everyone knows, we could travel around the world, do whatever we like, say whatever we want without China’s permission. I can even say something humiliating the president Tsai and whoever I want to on my land, would you dare to do the same thing in China? Do you dare to make bad comments on Xi? Just keep living in your own fantasy where the things will never happen.
BTW, look what you did to HongKong, I’m pity for my friends living in HongKong, and Taiwan will never be the second one.
We live in a society with liberty, and I’m grateful that I’m growing up in a place where freedom is more important than anything, where people like you could never experience unless you leave your country.

"Ok ok, hey that's a nice looking coffee house"

what?
Taiwan is a country ...
geek chicks If Taiwan is a country then why is it flying a Chinese flag?
Taiwan is an island and also a country!
The video just said Taiwan is a "Nation" which also means a country!
Just like England, England is also an island and a country~
@@gold6011 Taiwans government, Republic of China claims to be the country called China. And sat on the seat in the UN as the country called China.
Dont use Western standards and apply them to other countries. Thats arrogance.
Also, England isnt an island. And was founded as country in the first place.
ROC used to claim that itself is china, and the reason we call ROC is actually KMT,today, our flag is also the flag of KMT, but now Taiwan is a democrocy country, we have our own election and change the president every 4 yrs, so Taiwan is now belongs to all people lives in here,not just KMT, nowadays noone in taiwan will say we own china, only the people of PRC will say that thay own taiwan, but they dont even have the right to control us.
@@jinlk34 Just because no one "says it" doesnt mean that the government still doesnt claim it. KMT and DPP had every chance to revoke its claim on the Mainland including Tibet, Xinjiang and Mongolia. But it never did. Action speaks a thousand words.
I believe Taiwan is more influenced by Japan, but the traditional Chinese culture fuses with it
You are an idiot if you think they are more influenced by Japan. Then are Chinese ethnicity, speak and write in Chinese, everything about the island of Taiwan is Chinese
@@tobyli52 I don't know if they are more influence by Japan or China but they would much prefer being influenced by Japan any day.
Here in Taiwan we do not eat cats or dogs at all. It has always been this way. Don’t even know that law exists. We simply never eat them. We Taiwanese literally adore dogs and cats as our pets.
im taiwanese its true 100 percent
Another thing you might know if you are computer nerd. There are a lot of computer related companies coming from Taiwan, such as ASUS, Msi, Gigabyte. And Dr Su from AMD, Jensen Huang from NVIDIA were born in Taiwan. There is a mall call
Guanghua Shopping Center, you can buy all kinds of computer components in that place. Most of guys here have some degree of knowledge about computer hardware.
That's what i thought as well, so bad they forget their strong tech sector, that's why i love Taiwan, they have great microprocessors too. :3
It's a digital oriented nation and most of the people from Taiwan i know loves games and animes. It can be the next Holy site of it. :3
No, our formal country name is "Republic of China", which is different from "People's Republic of China" (the China Mainland).
about time someone said it! thank you and long live the Republic of China from Texas
As a Taiwanese, I don’t introduce my country with that name though.

China took many countries land like whole Tibet country, some part of India forcefully, some part of Pakistan.

How do you know what is a lie if you don't know what wasn't the truth? So are you that person who sits and accepts all information as fact as they are hurled at you? Maybe some on this list are things you didn't know because they aren't true or misconstrued.
Taiwan is exactly a part of China internationally, the people who say Taiwan is a country called "台獨分子", but in Taiwan, most people are not ”台獨分子“.

They say tiger in English ~在國際上英文是講亞洲四虎沒錯，但中文的說法是說亞洲四小龍。另外中文說的亞洲四小虎則是另外四個東南亞國家。所以英文跟中文的說法是不一樣的。影片是正確的。
Hey Alice I wanna really see how it’s like to be served with a toilet bowl in Taiwan!Se you
We’re definitely not part of China and we didn’t and don’t eat dogs and cats
Taiwanese origins is mixed by Austronesian and Chinese and also visitors from PRC please walk foreigners pass lol
陳尼克 politically yes between Taiwan and China are totally different. But Taiwan became a thing after the events of the China civil war. In other words Taiwan is basically just old China with different type of politics
Ik we’re not a part of China , but , China is a part of Taiwan
@@beener3827 for real ? Ur still in the mainland thoughts? It’s impossible now my friend. Getting back to the old ROC aren’t the best way for this island. It’s an old fashion thought
Some interesting points you bring up. Thanks for sharing!
I have walked past the 101building many time it’s a an Incredible sight to see
wait what you got the history wrong there...the republic of china is the official name of the island country Taiwan..the republic of china retreated to Taiwan after the defeat of the Chinese civil war against the people's Republic of china... there are actually two Chinas in the world believe it or not..
James Shih In 1992, PRC and ROC came to a consensus that Taiwan and the Mainland are part of the same "One China". The only disagreement is who is the ruler of that One China.
So no, its not 2 Chinas, but One China still technically in civil war.
Yerris okay yeh I guess that's right too.. but in the ROC's constitution it still includes the whole China with outer Mongolia
@@yoshih97 Thats true. I wonder how that plays out if one day PRC collapses and ROC takes over again haha
Taiwan and Mainland are part of ROC. The majority of people in ROC is hoping the "one China" under 1992 consensus will be ruled by ROC.
James Shih Taiwan is part of China. Mainland and Taiwan are seperatedly governed by two governments as a result of China's civil war during 1945~1949. Taiwan is never a country. Taiwan is just a province of China, no matter you refer China to People's Republic of China or Republic of China. Never deny the history and never try to seperate Taiwan from China.
Taiwanese Starbucks is so cool 10:37 🤩

One thing ALUX.com didn’t know about Taiwan
1. Taiwan is not a part of China
You have very good judgment and confidence to say something you never know before.
Thanks to anyone who says Taiwan is a country. I’m Taiwanese, I’m from Taiwan not China. I was so sad that lots of ppl said to me or even made fun of me just bc they ‘think’ I’m from China. I was so sad bc I tried so hard to defend myself to defend for Taiwan that we are Taiwanese, Taiwan is a country, but then ppl just keep doing the same thing,which is saying that Taiwan belongs to China, it upsets me a lot. Maybe u guys would be surprised that how come a sixteen years old girl has that strong thoughts ab these kind of things, I don’t know either, I don’t know why I’m so sensitive about my identity(Taiwanese) but the only thing I know is I’m Taiwanese I’m from Taiwan no matter what the condition of Taiwan gonna be in the future. I have only and truly one identity which is Taiwanese! 🇹🇼
I’m from Taiwan not China.
Ps. This is Taiwan’s flag 🇹🇼. This is China’s flag 🇨🇳. They look completely different:)))))
I’m sixteen years old Taiwanese girl I love Taiwan so much and I will try as hard as I can to support you and to protect you as u protect me. I believe in you and trust you as u believe and trust me. I will try as hard as I can to protect you. Ppl may ask me the reason why I wanna protect you so hard the only reason I can tell is “love.”
Taiwan is independent from PROC. In layman's terms that means Taiwan is not a part of China
your from China your from the Republic of China
taiwan is a county
@@mmorpg9564 how dare you disrespect your founders? huh? how dare you try to throw away everything that sun yat sen and chiang kai shek did for you? how dare you throw away the banner that millions died to protect?
how dare you try and take away the last spark of hope that a billion people look to?
shame on you total shame! you want to throw away Chinese democracy for a flag change?
Beautiful country
Cant wait to visit this beautiful country this summer :D
It's very interesting to learn I never know anything about Taiwan. The UFO house they should renovate it into a hotel or a home or a restaurant or a movie theater or a museum. It's a unique architecture that shouldn't go to waste.
Welcome to Taiwan~~!!!
Way to start off the video with one of the most controversial statements in history, nice alux
Taiwan is an independent country. Love from India. Taiwan is not a part of china.
Love Taiwan and it’s beautiful people. Looking forward to learning more 🥰🥰
I love Taiwan
*roc*
Taiwan is doing everything right! Well done! Liberal and democratic!
People can actually go up to Taipei 101’s 89~91 floor to sightsee with a pretty fast elevator there. I believe now you can even go up even higher and take Instagram worthy photos high up there with the whole Taipei city beneath you. And every New Year’s Eve we have massive fireworks at Taipei 101 too.
In fact ,the name of our country here in Taiwan is ROC (Republic Of China). ROC has been an independent country for 109 years (since 1912).
ngl Alux, as a Taiwanese-American, I found it pretty irritating and disappointing that the voice-over wasn't scripted with a more suitable set of adjectives to describe Taiwanese culture, other than "weird." You can go anywhere in the world and be exposed to a culture that is not yours, and find something within that, that is "pretty weird." We're living in the 21st century--Westerners need to stop speaking about other countries in a way that assumes that You are the neutral culture, and hold the Standard cultural norms. It's unfortunate that many non-Taiwanese and Western consumers of this media don't realize the danger of your poor choice of language and questions (Do you guys think Taiwan is more influenced by China or Japan?) to subtly "other" this country or imply an inferior status. Do better.
Republic of China ,Including mainland，Mongolia，Hong Kong and Macau，south China sea ，please read our constitution，But now, we only rule Taiwan province and parts of Fujian province
What about bubble teas ? I suppose Taïwan invented this
yeah they did
#4...get your info correct. Taiwan doesn't have jade. The mountain is just a name.
Oh dear, our country is officially named Republic of China (RoC), doesn’t mean we are a part of China (PRC). Moreover, we loose the civil war in 1949. This is the reason why our territory is only Taiwan and surrounding islands. But still thank you for your introduction! 🇹🇼
yes...thank you
How is eating pig and cow meat ok but when it’s cat and dog meat no that’s where we draw the line
Thank you Alux.
A recent Taiwan public survey shows that 83% of the population consider themselves to be Taiwanese, and only 2% consider themselves to be Chinese. It’s what we already know but its now clear for anyone who was in any doubt. www.taipeitimes.com/News/front/archives/2020/02/25/2003731565
Many of my family members have been to Taiwan and love it! By the way, I knew that a big argument about whether Taiwan belongs to China would erupt here. Sigh... another China versus Taiwan war. When will it ever end?
I find it ridiculous that they try to avoid the sun for fair skin. Your skin color is what it is and cannot be changed like that. Unless you bleach it which is very harmful and bad for your skin.
There is an error in this video and Taiwan did not approve gay marriage! Many were very disappointed and shocked that Taiwan is against gay marriage and did not approve it. This happened very recently.
Would love to visit Taiwan one day!
Trinh Nguyen many people disapprove gay marriage because they (like my parents) were misled by the anti gay groups, they exaggerated and gave wrong information, for example, approving gay marriage (using confusing words in Mandarin) equals to approve incest or some other ridiculous relationships. They spread these information through Line ( something like what’s app) and mostly to middle and elderly groups, who are not well educated or not good at using internet searching engine.
Mia Liao Thanks for your info and I thought Taiwan disapproved of gay marriage because of their traditional views. My parents for example would never approve due to their traditional and old school thinking. I hope they become more informed that it is nothing like what they heard. It is sad how many are so brainwashed by the media and other unreliable sources and believe everything they say. It is not just older people but my older brothers who are only in their late 40s are very bias, ignorant and close minded about many issues about the world not just the gay marriage issue. It is a big issue in the US too but the US is progressing and gay marriage is legalized in San Francisco already and soon other states and cities will legalize it too. I hope that Taiwan and other countries will head in that direction soon too. Do not give up!
@@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj
They still will be allowed to marry, but in a different way/law.
Actually, even though most older people don't support, but they are not against. They will just sit back and let the government to set everything down.
Most people don't know that all those is caused by Christian groups in Taiwan.
They spent a lot of money and people power against gay marriage. They only composed of less than 5% of Taiwan's population, but they all united and made propaganda and spread them through social media to influence old people.
Gay marriage will be legalized in May 2019. 😉
There are two independent, recognized or de facto, Chinese Countries. Taiwan is one of them, it's Official name is Republic of China, that's why its national airline is called China Airlines. The other one is the big China, the People's Republic of China.
Excellent thanks for inf. 👑💗👍
Taiwan is NOT part of China. Why is it so difficult for foreigners to discern its cultural meaning versus the political status quo? Appreciate your efforts to promote Taiwan.
其实很简单都是中国人，不同政府管控的不同区域的中国，他们有不同的着政治体系，大一点的想统一整个中国，小一点的已经习惯了自己的方式不愿意被统一
我要讓我的妹妹看
lol the thing about Taiwanese girls hating the sun is very true, but personally, I actually really enjoy tanning haha...
Hey uhhhhh I'm not sure what to tell you but Taiwan never declared independence from PRC as the whole reason they are independent is because the ROC retreated there. That's also why their airline has china in their name. The official name of Taiwan is the Republic of China.
Taiwan is a province of China or the name of Taiwan island.
No.9 is incorrect.China airlines is since 1959 and at the time ROC is the original China government but today’s PRC.
Second, Taiwan is “ NOT “ technically belong to China(PRC).
Because you can’t use the visa issued by PRC🇨🇳 to visit Taiwan🇹🇼.
Instead, you should prepare visa which issued by ROC🇹🇼.
BTW, if you are from North America you can feel safe to visit Taiwan🇹🇼 and you won’t be arrested for no reason just like in 💩🇨🇳(Shina=Shit+China).
Taiwan is exactly a part of China internationally, the people who say Taiwan is a country called "台獨分子", but in Taiwan, most people are not ”台獨分子“, the failure of the public voting called《以台灣為名申請參加2020年東京奧運公投案》 has proved it.
台独如果恨中国大陆，就没有意思，你的祖宗都是来自大陆，他们是狗屎？生了你这么个数典忘祖的人？
Taiwan is part of Republic Of China, not PRC. They have their own government, own military, own president, own money, own national flag and anthem, etc. In fact, People from mainland need Passport to get in Taiwan.
Hello Alux
please make a video on "15 signs you are going to become a millionaire".
Actually we are not a "country" but we are not a part of china either .It's super difficult to explain , we have our own president but somehow China claim we are part of them ,and we are not in UN. I really hope we can be treated as a independent country :((
龔裕程 Taiwan is part of China. But not PRC. In ROCs own constitution, it refers to Taiwan as a province of China.
Moreover in 1992, PRC and ROC both came to an agreement that Taiwan and the Mainland are part of the same ONE China. Only disagreement was who was the true ruler of China.
@@yerri5567 Totally agree with you, but I still think we shouldn't call ourselves china because everyone in the world will think it's the main land China . The 92 consensus is really stupid, I think that's just Self-deceptions
@@G.G.G0206 I understand why you wouldnt want to be associated with the Mainlanders. The have a bad reputation worldwide. Especially from their tourist. But as time progresses, they become more civilised, rich, and gain more power for Asians in a global context. And hopefully the CCP will have reformed for the better. Im sure you wont have a problem to be called "Chinese" then.
@@yerri5567 Yes you're right but their government is untrustworthy . I think it's because they are not democratic country they often break the promise the don't deal thing under law. I think that's my biggest concern,and you don't have the freedom of speech.
@@G.G.G0206 May I ask what promise did they break on a governmental level?
Also, from my understanding, they intend to have Taiwan govern themselves like HK is. HK has freedom of speech and everything, just as long its not a threat to the central government as per the law.
I think Taiwan is more influenced by China 🤔
No. Not at all
@@jully1744 They why are they speaking and look Chinese?
I think you never have been to Taiwan～
@@yerri5567 The American also speak in English, but I definitely won't say that England influenced America a lot~ Language is definitely not the only reason for "cultural influence", dude~
@@gold6011 You wouldnt say England influence US alot? Then what civilisation influenced US a lot? Japan? Native Americans? Russia?
Of course Europe, specifically the ones founded the land. AKA England, and a little bit of other Europeans countries.
My gosh!!! In Korea do they eat cats and dogs?
I thought they were developed .
Thanks for making this video! I enjoyed it but some of its information is kinda outdated 😂
