US Or China: Can Taiwan Choose Its Fate? | Insight | Full Episode

- Following Speaker of The House Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan, China has stepped up its military activities in the Taiwan Straits. At the same time, Beijing is turning the economic screws on the self-governed island, banning imports on Taiwanese produce.
Meanwhile, the perceived lack of US support for Ukraine has left some Taiwanese questioning American commitment to the island’s defence.
Entangled in a geopolitical power struggle between the US and China, the views and wants of the Taiwanese people are sometimes overshadowed. This episode of Insight offers the Taiwanese perspective of what it means to be caught between giants.

Taiwan 🇹🇼 does not need communism nor western influence, Taiwan 🇹🇼 must be themselves one of the Asian countries that represents soft power of Asia like Japan 🇯🇵
if so. why can't you kick out the americans from the okinawa?

One comment:
The narrator keeps saying “reunification” instead of unification, which is incorrect since the CCP has never governed Taiwan in the entire history.
And for the fact Taiwan is the original government and the CCP are the rebels.
That is not true. You are trying dodge and shift the concept.
China governed Taiwan and CCP is the current legal representative of China.
You could have also said Xi has never governed Taiwan therefore Xi could not have reunification with Taiwan. This is very childish. I am very disappointed with your intellectual capacity.
@@watchman835 are you his dad or something?
@@watchman835 I am question your own intellect capacity. And stop abusing the use of term "China", ROC and PRC are two different country just like North Korea and South Korea, or East Germany and West Germany.
The fact is ROC has rules Taiwan since 1945, PRC has never rules Taiwan a single day.
And yes, Winnie the "Xi" has never governed Taiwan, therefore the only way for Winnie the "Xi" to try to governed Taiwan is have PRC attempt a invasion Taiwan by force.
@@anonymo_use5918 Yes, I could be his dad, but only his mum knows the timing if she can still remember it.
Chosen freedom. 🇹🇼 always be free.
*civilian safety and non-rape of local women are not guaranteed in the "US Army" package*
Can someone please explain to me the conundrum I see. The young people of Taiwan want independence but don't want to stand up to China militarily. They say they are willing to fight for their way of life but not willing to go for military training? Freedom is not free. Am I missing something here? Or is the documentary incorrect?
This is very rich coming from someone in an ivory tower lol
Because the United States will fight for Taiwan until the last American, there is no need for Taiwanese to be soldiers.🤣
China now after see the weapons use in Ukraine is pissing itself. Knowing You got the same to use against them is not just a treat, but their doom's day coming. So don't fear a bunch of sissy boys with toys.
@@miaorenfeng1 correction :) many Taiwanese/Formosan are willing to fight :)
In fact... young students were the main drives during the Sunflower Movement when past administrations try to establish closer economic ties with Beijing... aka peacefully selling off Taiwan to China so it can become like Hong Kong...??? Some rather not go for short-term growth if it means increasing dependence on Beijing...

No new perspective, no insight (despite the title), no enlightenment, no positive inputs, no kind advice..., just old cliches and cold-hearted war-mongering, sinister instigation, and bigotry.
Honestly I don't think Taiwan can choose its own fate when both candidates of KMT and DPP party leaders have to pick a trip towards US before they become real leaders. And so do the president of ROC Taiwan.
Of course , the ROC can choose its future . Of course Taiwan can choose its future. It has two choices . The first , accept CCP rule and hand give control over to the CCP peacefully or choice 2 is be invaded by the PLA who will take control of Taipei for the CCP. There are its two options.
@@jp95js Give it a rest, stupid.
The reality here is that China will not invade Taiwan as long as the US and NATO/EU countries are against it.
The CCP will have to go through the US and NATO/EU countries to accomplish this, and they won't poke that bear.
Regardless of what the "official" US policy on Taiwan is at this time, they won't simply allow the CCP to "invade" Taiwan. It really is as simple as that. China is quite adept at its "Wolf Warrior" diplomacy and saber rattling, but if it really thought it could get away with invading Taiwan without encountering a full-blown war, it would have done so years ago.
And, as @Michael Wang astutely pointed out, China was watching closely the results of Putin's invasion of the Ukraine (and the world's reaction to it - especially the West, since the US is moving away from the globalized world it created.) The unexpected results of what was then considered to be the #2 military machine on the planet being taken to school by a rag-tag group of nationalists made for great consternation in Beijing.
As was the world's immediate reaction to it. Russia was able to sustain worldwide economic sanction due to its position as the supplier of oil and LNG to Europe. China has no such buffer. Her position as "the world's factory" is already weakening as we speak, with Western companies looking to other Asian nations to take up the manufacturing slack.
Vietnam, to use an example, took 8% of the global manufacturing pie away from China just this year, and other Asian nations (Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, etc.) are already lining up to woo foreign investment to their countries. And that investment is moving out of China quickly. It was foreign investment that made China into the economic powerhouse it is today, but that can change in a moment.
Just ask Japan.
And lest not forget that time is of the essence here (time the CCP does not have.) The demographics clock has already been ticking for many decades in China (as it did in Japan.) China is aging itself out of becoming a Superpower, or even a regional power capable of launching and supporting such a bold move. And Xi's move toward hardline Communism, and away from Deng's combination of soft Communism and Capitalism is scaring even the most greed-driven corporate leaders.
Had Taiwan not become the sole hub of high end semiconductor output worldwide (or China figured out how to produce high end semiconductors) and the South China Sea not become an avenue for 3/4 of the world's shipping lanes, the West would have had little interest in any of China's claims in the East.
Problem is, the West will not allow China to disrupt the supply of semiconductors, nor take control of the shipping lanes in the SCS.
It's as simple as that.
It is not a matter of political, nor ideological differences here.
It is simply a matter of money, as, in the end, everything comes down to.
@@jp95js 台灣只能順應大勢
Apparently, Taiwan chose not to choose its fate by itself.
Now that isn’t true. Of course Taiwan can choose its future. It has two choices . The first , accept CCP rule and hand give control over to the CCP peacefully or choice 2 is be invaded by the PLA who will take control of Taipei for the CCP. There are its two options.
@@jp95js technically there is the third > Defend your ground :)
Vietnam did when Beijing try to annex it and likewise for Korea or S.Korea (which is among the best net contributor to global growth) won't exist.
T____T It's like asking "Hey, South Korea, you should unite with the North (which is less than 1/10 of S.Korea's growth per capita) and obey the Kim family so he might show you some mercy... Ugh 90-99% of South Korean will reject it regardless of how they feel about their elected official xD
Besides~ Beijing did try in the past which only ended in a total defeat - the aggressor has the advantage of choosing the time but they would normally need x3 times the force than the defender.
It was already difficult enough for Moscow which *was* the world's 2nd in military power to attempt to capture Ukraine which isn't even among the top 12~ when they share land border... cross straight battles will be many times more difficult.
This being said; Beijing on track for a decline due to numerous reasons (most of it was self-inflicted due to wolf warrior, failing to cut ties with Moscow since Beijing (+ many other) assume Moscow would be victorious, ...many hasn't completely forgotten about the 2020 PANDA..., its failure to keep international promise/treaty (e.g HK 50 years no change) or abide by the international ruling (e.g claim over almost the entire China Sea). Might just gamble to attack Taiwan within the next 4 years before other nations boost up their military strength... or at least while Beijing still has the economic might to attempt to do so...
which in my opinion is like Putin risking the entire Nation for additional land that is less than 3% of its current size T____T Risk Big to Win Small, especially when the cost will greatly be higher than the gain =/
@@michaelwang6125 Agreed again and your analogy with North Korea annexing South Korea and the CCP suggesting the same with the Republic of China was on point. 🙏
Absolutely right! Tsai Eng Wen chose war and destruction and deaths.
Hahahaha

crying indian. develop your tech instead of your hatred.
When Tsai Ing in Taiwan fiddled with her labia with her fingers, smoothed her pubic hair, and babbled, you met Tsai Ing's speaking character to use broken English to form the dog whistle making your delusion and illusions of disinformation, immersing in your hallucinations then you boast your broken English forming a Frog Country Taiwan with an unknown language. First of all, you should know the definition of country and sovereignty in international law that lies on the principle of the Westphalian treaty. Taiwan is part of China and its indisputable sovereignty of China since ancient times. No matter what you call Taiwan, it won't change the status quo of the sovereignty of Taiwan according to international law.
Shallow knowledge and analysis. Stopped watching after 5 minutes.
yet another video that nonsensically reduces a war over Taiwan to a war between the US and China. The war is not a bilateral issue but a political one that pits the democrats of Asia against the communists of Asia. For all this talk about how the Euro-Atlantic advocates for democracy it is actually the Asia-Pacific which has been the most ready, willing and able to die for democracy. This was the case in the past (South Korea is a case in point) but will be even more so the case in the future as the geopolitical situation in Asia gets more tense. The sooner people understands this, the better the prospects will be for world peace
all value, value, come on, you are a monster of value. Totally brainwashed. Singaporean and ASEN countries are all neutral and won’t want to be involved. Cuz current TW government always laugh at Singapore, why Singapore should stand with TW. So just go back to TW and fight for your value. Not just bla bla!
Essentially a Sino-US war, Taiwan is just a geopolitical pawn.

@@1ewi5 USA didnt even use 100% of its force, imagine what if they would.
Actually US is defending TSMC and not Taiwan.
The argument that elderly people in Taiwan want to unify with the mainland for the culture is a feeble argument. It might be unnoticed but the ccp has gutted Chinese culture in the mainland and replaced it with an offensive posture that has no link to Chinese history or tradition. Wanting to reunite with a lost culture is impossible and they are remembering a lost past. Taiwan has the embers of China as it should be still safe on the island. Don't allow those embers to be snuffed out by the pla and ccp. Free China support TAIWAN.
Make a trade, the ccp can move to Taiwan and the free people on Taiwan can move back home and free the people of China. That way the ccp and Xi can rule the island all they want and the threat of war disappears. We can dream! Art

CNA isn’t helping world peace by producing this negative report; the United States is not vying to dominate over China; “We the people of the Republic of the United States” are one of a free nations where democracy thrive; we don’t produce threats to anyone like communist China does; we provide help to fellow democracies; we help to those who wanted them as our own national security demands it! Communist China on the other hand always wanting to invade other people lands to kill people; Lands like Tibet and Taiwan, and Hong Kong and Vietnam because only through war and bloodshed that the communist China would be able to stay in power; communism exist only to make war and people suffer; the Ugglar people of China China’s Xiangchiang have suffered in every cruelty only the communists can do and have been doing! CNA is so wrong to promote the demented views of the totalitarian communists while Taiwan is suffering the threat of war from those barbaric communists who even suppressing their own countrymen on their own land! It’s probably better if you didn’t do this report as you are just putting more fuel to this demented fire that should not have started in the first place; the People of the United States are always seek peace for a more peaceful existence of our people we prefer more friendly nations to do business with us and those who avoid war and aggression toward their neighbors; make for better business growth! So we prefer that Taiwan to be self determining as people Republic of Taiwan and none of any one else business; CNA need to stop pushing the issue; you are not helping the world any! As an international news agency you need to promote peace to people of the world and not trying to bring people to war! It seems any report CNA do about or involve communist China CNA always report the communist China in a positive light! That is just dementing.
Seek peace my ass, look Middle Eastern .... how many country that you have destoyed .....including in Southeast Asia country Vietnam and also trying to kill Indonesia first president ? I dont believe USA .... they have 2 tongue, first good at first sight and back are eating slowly.

Cuba should build for Russia or China a military base. You won't hear whining from the USA. Washington will just nuke it.
That will result in military unification by mainland immediately and US wouldn't dare to intervene.
Just like in Cuba yeah
if that happened China has right to annihilate the whole island with a nuke warhead. that's totally betrayal of their family members. those Americans are just going to used you for their world domination.
I watched the entire documentary and sadly i would have to say it failed to reflect the fact that the incumbent government DPP is the one whom started provoking China and instigating violence cross-strait. And the documentary conveniently only selected few viewpoints from the KMT party whom advocated peaceful resolution with China. As a Taiwanese, i know the war with China will be a fratricidal one, we need to do everything we can to seek mutually beneficial resolutions instead of starting a meaningless war. One thing for sure, DPP keeps chanting "抗中保台" will surely get them the war they wanted it.
是的，民进党颇有意思。 我觉得民进党党魁有点像泽连斯基， 正常人都知道真的开战受伤最大的肯定是台湾，受益最大的肯定是美国， 可是民进党一味的希望挑起战争。 我都感觉台湾在民进党治理下快成为了美国海外飞地。 其实大陆正常情况下不会武统台湾，台湾的资源、面积注定了他只能发展高科技业，而自从李登辉把高效率的集权政治制度改成不犯错的票选民主制度后，台湾就没有开拓出微电子以外的优势产业。
现在台湾又陷入口水战中，各种抹黑、偷拍、造谣，台湾很喜欢标榜自己比美加英这些发达国家还要“民主”， 但是绝对的民主意味着超级低的效率。 台湾最近有什么新的产业规划？ 有什么长期愿景？ 每上台一个新政党，之前政党的政策几乎作废。 2049 年前国共内战绝对会结束，要说谁是最大的贡献者，我想李登辉一定是名列前茅的�
Poll after poll shows that less than 6% of Taiwan citizens want to be ruled by the PRC. Why does Taiwan, a vibrant, freedom-loving and democratic country with high standard of living of GDP per capita $35,500 [based on IMF report], want to be ruled by the CCP dictatorship? Although we speak the same language, but Taiwanese would like to live with the PRC peacefully as two different and independent countries, just like United States and Canada.

China can just bombard them and blockade them from the outside world, as well as shut down their system with cybernetic warfare. Eventually, Taiwan will concede.
blockading it works as well.

"China's final warning" (Russian: последнее китайское предупреждение) is a Russian proverb that originated in the former Soviet Union to refer to a warning that carries no real consequences.
Relations between the People's Republic of China and the United States during the 1950s and 1960s were strained due to the Taiwan Strait issues. American military fighter jets regularly patrolled the Taiwan Strait, which led to formal protests being regularly lodged by the Chinese Communist Party in the form of a "final warning", for their fighter maneuvers in the strait. However, no real consequences were given for ignoring the "final warnings".
The People's Republic of China released its first "final warning" to the United States for their reconnaissance flights on 7 September 1958, during the Second Taiwan Strait Crisis. At the time, the United States considered the Republic of China as the sole legitimate representative of China and conducted reconnaissance flights in waters controlled by the People's Republic of China. China would then record such incidents, and issue a "final warning" through diplomatic channels for each incident that occurred. *More than 900 Chinese "final warnings" had been issued by the end of 1964.*
LOL
China is the laughing stock of the world. Even their only ally makes fun of them.😁😆😂
You are aware that it’s 2022 not 1964 aren’t you dummy?

Measuring the per capita income of Taiwan with the entire of China is just stupid as China is so huge with a huge rural landmass, the correct measure will be comparing Chinese regions with similar population size with a similar level of urbanization, for example, the entire region of Shanghai got a population of 30 million greater than Taiwanese population of 24 million and its per capita income ($34,000) is similar or slightly higher than that of Taiwan.

CNA is very biased, the framing of the entire issue for starters. Taiwan is not "caught in between" the US and China. The Republic of CHINA (Taiwan) has been a country since its founding in the early 1900's. It was Chaing Kai Shek, the Leader of China during World War 2 who retreated to the island of Taiwan after his defeat to Mao and his communist (CCP). The CCP has NEVER governed the island of Taiwan, not for a minute. China says the own the entire South China Sea and all islands therein. The US answered the call from another sovereign democracy for help. The 9-Dash line is the biggest joke that a country has ever put forward. The Communist on the Mainland claims many lands that they have never occupied, large swathes of India, Pakistan, Russia, Mongolia, Kazakstan, and many more. The CCP is a dirty red stain that the US should clean from the Globe. China comes up with so much diplomatic trash it's hard to take anything they say seriously. And if you thought that Putin was a paper tiger, wait until you see China. They are the biggest Paper Tiger in history. Al their equipment is garbage, never field tested. Morale is garbage as the soldiers are fighting for nothing more than "The Party". And tactics are trash. It's basically "you men run towards that machinegun", Full frontal, human wave attacks, i.e. Korean War. Please China attack Taiwan, so we can put an end to the Mao Poser, Xi PingPong and the rest of the sheep that follow him around.

Pushing these issues to the forefront of people's and politician's minds should prove positive in the long run as these problems don't simply go away, they need to be dealt with.
Who would of thought that in the wake of Trump's terrible foreign policy important decisions would need to be made. Maybe he is a stable genius.
In a way that's true, but I don't really agree with accelerationist views, simply because there could be a lot of victims in the events that follow. You may not be one of the victims, so you can just see it as a logical or inevitable move. But if you live in Taiwan, you might be more scared of what will happen to you and your family. You may still be happy about the support from the US, but it's not that simple, because Taiwan is still a pawn caught between 2 bigger imperialist countries.
@@lalakuma9 it is true, and I meant no disregard for other people's suffering.

these people that really think there will be no war will be seriously disappointed. what pells say or think does not determine what political leaders do. America is deeply entrenched in the Island. America and the people on the Island will choose war. both will try to achieve their agenda.
China always plays the long game. They can just sit back and let Taiwan and the US for an invading force that is never coming. As long as taiwan does not do anything foolish like declaring independence, china is content to wait. taiwan may not always have this current separatist administration, and they will have someone that will have the balls to kick out the americans from taiwan to maintain the past status quo.
Very disappointed with CNA. I always thought CNA is balanced and reports all perspectives. Unfortunately, this show is very much one sided toward DPP and Taiwan independence. CNA does not even mention that here are 30 to 40% of people in Taiwan that don't support independence. Also CNA does not mention about China perspective. It seems CNA is pushing the Taiwan independence narrative and agenda. This is not good journalism!
That's because CNA can recognize China propaganda when they see it, like most Chinese do. That's why 140,000 Chinese tried to immigrate to the US annually, to get away from China.
Taiwan was a region of China that fought to become China´s government and failed. The Chinese Civil War has not ended as the US has intervened first with threats of nuking China then later by establishing an agreement of strategic ambiguity, our as the Chinese may put it , “Americans speak with a forked tongue”. The US wants to restore Taiwan to nation status by incrementally involving Taiwan in international affairs. It does this by saendimng its leaders to establish relationships with Taiwan amnd pushing Taiwan into intyernational forums and committees. China sees the trick and complains practically daily about US transgressions. As time passes China tries to involve Taiwan in cross strait trade as well as social and other business transactions. Taiwan has been self governed since the end of World War II. From the perspective of UN guidelines, Taiwan should be given the option of independence, integration into china as a region, our as a FREE COMMONEALTH WITH TIES ESTABLISHED THROUGH MUTUAL AGREEMENT. TTaiwan and thje US should petition the UN for Free Commonwealth. But the US loses a strategic pawn if that were to happen. But for Taiwan and China this would be the best of both worlds. It will be part of China under mutual guidelines. But it will be free on the world stage, and recognized by The UN.
You still have communist-imperialist ideas. The liberation of the mainland and the restoration of the Republic of China depend on the core democracy of democratic countries around the world and the resentment of Chinese people at home and abroad against the feudal dictatorship and communist bandits. If the Republic of China can liberate the mainland, it will be the pride of the Chinese nation and the beginning of a peaceful and prosperous era for the world.你還是有共匪帝國主義思想。 解放大陸、光復民國取決於世界各地民主國家的核心民主主義與海內外華人對封建獨裁共匪的怨恨。 中華民國若能解放大陸，便是中華民族的驕傲、也是還世界一個太平盛世的開始。
🙏🐰CHINA, NOT A THREAT TO TAIWAN, US ,
JAPAN AND S.KOREA.
1) BUT US IS
Taiwan is enjoying prosperity under the Status Quo. Why bother to side with USA, just do business to both sides and stop the rhetoric pro-US, else you will go down in history at the expense of many lives lost.
Hei bro the question is not who Taiwan side, but she doesn't has a choice as long as the country is concerned.
The question should be addressed back to her.. Where will your family be when China reunited with Taiwan. All the treacherous and unforgivable policies that she has done to disunited China. Do you think the national Law will not be effected thereafter.??? A Chinese will always be a Chinese who held their motherland dearly and cannot be devoid of love and devoid of compassion... God bless Taiwanese....
let taiwan and ukraine in peace !
Sad to see chinese killing chinese. Maybe xi should think of that
Yes, you are a demogratic country...
Go for it fight to the end , just crush China down, you can do it.
Long live Taiwan.......
Lay down the crack pipe.
Well, this videos title made me feeling sick 🤢. No one cares how Taiwan will
Chose, but they only care their one benefit to their own. Taiwan government sucks. The US stands the way for the world peace!
It is because the Chinese government regards the people of Taiwan as one of their own that this war has been delayed, otherwise it would have ended long ago
If war broke I’m willing to volunteer in Taiwan

Taiwan need to build more long range ballistic missiles that can hit Beijing, Guangdong and Shanghai and all the the strategic military area.
Agreed . Of course Taiwan can choose its future. It has two choices . The first , accept CCP rule and hand give control over to the CCP peacefully or choice 2 is be invaded by the PLA who will take control of Taipei for the CCP. There are its two options.
Are you part of 1450?
@@jchanmcse Haha, 1450 is pathetic compared to the millions of Wumao that the CCP has at its command. Silly Han people of Taiwan think they can stop the CCP from taking control of Taipei soon. Han people are Chinese and China is ruled by Xi Jinping. The glorious PLA under the instructions of the General Secretary of the Party will destroy Taiwan and the Americans and their Allies , if they try and stop them.
yea but none of the places mentioned are "strategic military area".

Since Taiwan island was returned to China in 1945 by Japan, it belongs to every Chinese people. How could those so called Taiwanese think this is their territory?
If one day China has to take back this territory by force, every Chinese will strongly support this action.
ukranian is diffferent with taiwan ukranian indepent state taiwan not indenpent taiwan still part of china china have right take taiwan back to mother land dont compare ukranian and taiwan j carter taiwan part of china full stop us dont right interving taiwan problem us should understand taiwan part of china us dont send wrong sighnal 2 taiwan if do china have right use force take taiwan us stop using taiwan pawn china wont let us interving back off now if not look at the alfhanistan talban dont have big machines us still lose the war us think first if do innocent lives lose
India should also choose
India likes Russia. they helped them with guns at some point i think. so if they chose USA what about Russia?
@@johney3734 the game is not so simple here. India shares land border with China. India is dependent on Russia for our military equipments becz in past only Russia gave us sophisticated military technologies and USA was a friend of Pakistan. But slowly we are reducing our dependence on Russia. India's Vedanta group and Taiwan's Foxconn has signed an agreement of 20 billion USD to establish a semiconductor factory in India. So things will change in coming years. Taiwan should invest heavily in India.
@@riktimchowdhury5337 the Pakistan India conflict is hard. so im Australian and white and i feel some glut for the English coming taking over being bullies, leavening India to fall apart. then India stays this cool democracy. i dont know the white man should get involved... hope fully you will just be friends some how...if we have to chose a side im 100% with India but dont tell Pakistan it will hurt there feelings...i dont understand the loyalty to Russia for selling you guns...i also dont understand when china took land and India did not care more. Russia offered to help with talks but not protect you. there are so many ppl on India i would think to lose any land would be such an injustice. India need mates that will fight!!! not mates that will sell guns.
@@johney3734 India's friendship was due to USA's closeness with Pakistan. It was Russia that gave India critical missile technologies. It was Russia than gave us Nuclear powerd submarines. Russia was the 1st country that set up a nuclear power plant in India. Even today Russia is giving India Technologies of Hypersonic missile. All these technologies are not given by USA or other western countries. So India's friendship with Russia is very critical for India's security. USA and its western allies only talks but no action.
@@riktimchowdhury5337 who gave that stuff to Pakistan? i dont like nukes and dont want any one to have them.. i would not give them to India or any one if i had that power
Wow cna suddenly acting like a channel that care so much on china and keep telling china story without telling the whole story. CNA, pls keep your professionalism, report whole story from history and objectively.
Glory to Taiwan 🇹🇼
Taiwan will surely be glorious once it reunites with the Chinese mainland, where it truly belongs.
@@martynblackwell8108 It's already Glorious without that. But as long as it unites the right way NOT by anything even close to the CCP but to Taiwanese standards of Democracy like it has it today than yes even more so 😁
If Taiwan chooses the US, the whole island will be gone!
they are simply stupid and do not read through lines. US does not give a f*ck about you. they just want to stop China from overtaking them economy.
The older/general population don't want trouble, the young ones want to side with US yet it is unpopular view from young people to have conscription...
Hmm a bit contradiction I see.
It is cowardice. Let somebody fight the war for us.
Young people in Taiwan think that Americans will fight for Taiwan until the last American.😁
Take Ukraine as a case study
Opinions and wishes are just that opinions and wishes.
Basically it comes down to 2 chocies for ROC/taiwan.
1) status quo. Stay as Republic of China and basically do everything they want to do. Buy arms, talk dirt on mainland china, continue to have their own democracy. But not recognise as a country in UN.
2) become "taiwan". And be prepare to finish the civil war that has been ongoing since 1949.
Honestly speaking even if mainland china suddenly becomes a democracy. Taiwan will have lots of excuses for not wanting to join the new republic of china.
exactly, the rulers want their power retained and they brainwash people for that purpose, it's not different anywhere in the world.
The problem is Chinese government is against Taiwan’s status quo under Xi’s leadership. Your 2 scenarios are now both deemed “台獨” which is “Taiwan independence” by Chinese government.
That’s why Taiwanese people tend to be more hostile and aggressive toward China in recent years.
@@wideputin5194 The OP is right. Ma was on good term with China. Thing were going well until Tsai took over. but I think it is beyond Taiwan. Biden basically said in this video US wants China to stay poor. If China reach parity with US per capita, its economy will be 4X US. With Taiwan that might happen.
@@wideputin5194 @David Wong official name of Taiwan government of republic of China
Exactly, Why let The US con your money by buying more of their arms? Taiwan doesn't stand a chance of fighting China. Hence, The number of fighter jets Taiwan has and
the number of fighter jets China has...? Why isn't the US selling to Taiwan their F35 fighter jet? Here, we talk about conventional warfare only and not nuclear warfare yet?
I was puzzled when Elon Musk made a remark that Taiwan's weapon (fighter jet) is going to shock China. If he talks about Tesla, then I may believe him. Peaceful reunification
is the best solution. God Bless China and Taiwan 🙏
Taiwan instigated all these. Stop playing innocent
Taiwan has always just been a pawn. Don't think they can save themselves now, after falling completely to the US side. Whether they get attacked or maintain the current status quo, all depends on American foreign policy. Good luck to the Taiwanese.
Actually no.
China cannot live with the status quo. They are the one's who want to get control of the island.
Taiwan can live with the status quo for another 10000 years.
So who is in a hurry?
@@Sp3ll633 China is perfectly fine with the current status quo with Taiwan, as their focus is on being interconnected with the world and growing their economy.
It is the US who wants to disrupt the staus quo and fan a war cross-straits becos they would like to impede the growth of China. They are alrdy starting to arm up the TaiwaneseIt is really clear as day.
Where-ever the Americans go, there will be war. Their Military industrial complex demands this to get their war engine going.
Also Taiwan's biggest market for their exports is China by far for a longgg time.
@@freelancer1499 hahaha China is fine with Status quo. You are a funny person.
For the Chinese it's their biggest shame and embarrassment that they have no control over Taiwan.
As soon as they feel ready to invade the will do it. No peaceful means.
The communist are under time pressure.
Of course you would wanna arm up Taiwan. I would do it too.
You see Communists are quite coward people. They let down KMT during by not fighting against Japan. And now the Communists say:" we strongly condemn arms sales to Taiwan because we want to annex Taiwan without expecting any counter strikes"
See it like this my friend. Only the status quo or Taiwan independence can guarantee long time peace.
Imperialism by China will bring WW3

@@Lin-xj1mm Yes Russia with an economy smaller than the US state of new York 😂
Japan, when are you going to apologise to China, and the countries you attacked during WW2?
The only real adult in these interviews is Alexander Huang of the KMT, they have a realistic understanding of Taiwan's position in this dilemma. Taiwan stand no chance of independence either with or without the US help. Ironically it is the involvement of the US that will trigger a war, if any of these naive kids playing politics understands anything about geopolitics and real national leadership.
I pity the Taiwanese people, these new breed of US stooges masquerading as Taiwanese leaders will lead them to hell. Mark my words, these stooges will be the first to escape to the US and the 5 eyes countries once war breaks out. These US stooges talk like Americans and sells American freedom to Taiwanese as if every Taiwanese will get to escape when war starts. American freedom only means existence under US rules and US priorities. China will never accept another US military base at its doorstep.
Ms Tsai is confident of America's commitment. Go ahead and declare indepence.
😂😂😂
@Ahmet Tekin Based on their vote on naminf the Olympic team. They want to be Taipei China.
Drive tsai out of Taiwan and unite with the motherland in peace
Peace? Seriously? The Taiwanese people do NOT want to "unite" with the CCP. Grow a brain.
Poll after poll shows that less than 6% of Taiwan citizens want to be ruled by the PRC. Why does Taiwan, a vibrant, freedom-loving and democratic country with high standard of living of GDP per capita $35,500 [based on IMF report], want to be ruled by the CCP dictatorship? Although we speak the same language, but Taiwanese would like to live with the PRC peacefully as two different and independent countries, just like United States and Canada.
just be neutral, u could not achieve independence, but off course u do not want to join China as one of their state. However, never ever trust the US will help u to fight against China. So just play in between the 2 superpowers
I don't think the Taiwanese president is smart enough to know that. She got elected because she's a woman, she's so clueless that she thinks Taiwan can win against China. This is what happens when you have a bunch of stupid young kids in Taiwan with a lack of understanding of history.
Better USA than Communist dogs
The problem is, taiwan is not a country.....
Within china, there are 2 governments, ROC and PRC.......so this is a civil war......
@@setiawanskom8872 lol, it does not matter, taiwan not gonna win anyway, so the best they could do is keep the freedom, democracy they enjoyed in the past 70years and avoid having a head to head fight with china.
@@loh-4528 isnt that what china offer? One country two system
But one china two system doesnt mean you can collude with FOREIGN power to divide china....,just like 2019 protest, which was much funded by US and many NGO

There is alway US invisible hand who want to destabilize other country
May ALL of Asia:
unite; (together): as:
1, {A.S.A.P.: Preferably!!}??
Status quo is the best solution between the PRC and the ROC. It's pretty simple, no Taiwan independence, no war.
The comment that saves my day, bro
I don’t think Xi Jin Ping agrees with you.
You seem to be a bit naive. It's China who puts pressure. China cannot live with the status quo. Taiwan can live with Status quo another 1000 years.
So who is running out of time ?
Another view of Taiwan: th-cam.com/video/aFkOgAhOoiU/w-d-xo.html
It cannot be status quo anymore cos China seems so desperate for reunification which Taiwan has every right to reject it and protect its democracy so at best just leave Taiwan alone
Isn't this a no brainer? Take a look at Hongkong and Macao... they're dying cities.
Taiwan and its population geographically sitting on China's land and accuse China being invasion on their land. Hope the leader position not violated China's right both it's population and the area to be returned back integrating back to the country or face consequences. The Chinese should not become split countries.

*Hope the world understands that Taiwan is Taiwanese just like Japan is Japanese so isnt this message clear enough about territorial rights ?*
You don't belong to this part of the world, thus do not know what belongs to who.
There happened to be some English words about other provincial residents in China, such as Shannghainese, Hongkonger, Beijinger, does this mean these are all independent countries?
Nonsense
@@starboiii1837 Then make some sense
We dont deny that the people in Taiwan is called Taiwanese, with the same logicality, the people in Guangdong surely called Cantonese.

*Its no brainer Taiwan must choose USA hands down orelse the consequence will be regretful and irreversible*
I respectfully disagree. IMO, US is defending Taiwan for its nano-chip technology. Once Taiwan chooses US and US gets hold of that technology, Taiwan will be left to fend for herself. I think the best strategy is to de-escalate matters and remain status quo.
