I totally agree with your comment. I met and married my Taiwanese wife in Australia and she is the most wonderful lady I have ever met and being married to is the best thing I have done in my life. I have visited Taiwan several times and i have found people amazingly friendly and welcoming even when I travel on my own.

I'm Portuguese and I'm really interested in Taiwan's history and people. In my language, we baptized Taiwan as "Ilha Formosa", that may be translated as "Gorgeous Island", when our explorers and navigators arrived there some centuries ago. I hope one day I can travel there and witness with my own eyes all the beauty this video shows!

I am a Taiwanese, i need to explain for the girl. Honestly, she doesn't mean to offence Taiwan, her idea is exactly like how we ppl feel about traveling to China. We ppl from Taiwan wont spend equal money to travel to a place almost similar to Taiwan.
Not sure she meant anything much by it + I doubt Taiwan gets much press for how good life is there in the PRC. To be honest, before I went to Taiwan, I was not expecting much either to be honest. We see and hear very little about Taiwan from overseas except for the political situation. That is a shame, because like everyone else, I discovered an amazing country with beautiful people, stunning scenery and delicious food. I don't know if the fact so few people appreciate all that Taiwan offers is because of a lack of good promotion and PR, or because it's international presence is so suppressed by the big fella next door.

Great video you made there, brother. I fell head over heals in love with Taiwan in 2018 and try to visit once a year, next trip coming up this May (coronavirus developments permitting...). Glad to see you're giving Kaohsiung some much deserved love, by the way! And what a coincidence that your Chinese guest is an absolute beauty. :) P.S.: indigenous tribes in Taiwan are related to pacific islanders, I believe.
Prayers are with you that you can remain free. I pray to GOD that the world will step in and do the right thing and not let what happened to Tibet happen to Taiwan.
I mean... without their ppl who keep saying "Oh, Taiwan is part of china, and we are brothers and sisters, cultures? Aren't them all from china?", everything is fine for us face to face eachother.
@Andrew Whyte The situation is... when you go to anyother country as taiwanese, It's somehow damn easy to met another chinese who thinking as what I just said. The second issue is, for some of them, if you answer the question in a way they dont like, they'll "force" you to agree with them. I'm damn serious, not a joke. Most of them are really nice, but just once you met a idiot, just one, you'll see him bring "idiots" to "speak with you", until you agree "Taiwan is part of china".
I'm from Mainland China and I do love the way you show Taiwan 台湾. I've been there several times and i have to say this is one of the most beautiful places of the world. Most of people living in Mainland China don't know Taiwan and how close connection we have with Taiwanese and Taiwan History. The relation between both side could be much better if we know each other.
Most of time, people from China may overlook the variety of cultures in Taiwan. They may think Taiwan has no difference to what they have in China. The biggest irony is, for Chinese people, gorgeous buildings or skyscrapers are the critera to judge a modern city. All that may be a joke!
No politics here, but have you been to the Mainland at all? Chinese cities are a lot more modern and its nature is stunning. They have so many varieties of landscapes and natural beauty from the Himalyas to the desert. China has a lot to offer but most people only think about the CCP when it comes to the Mainland. It's an eye opening experience.
@Zerg Cerebrates th-cam.com/video/mdiVnIHa-3M/w-d-xo.html you can check this vedio from 7:20, my point is China have much more potential to being better than now. I wanna go to China, but my opinion on public affairs (support for Hong-Kong, Xinjiang people) make me dangerous to travel to China. Do you know 陳秋實 is arrested ?
@@smallbin5512 I understand what you're saying. That's why nothing is really black and white, there are a lot of gray areas that people overlook. There are many things that the CCP can learn from Taiwan, but China also wouldn't be as powerful or economically successful if it wasn't because of the CCP. I'm a Chinese American and I have families in Taiwan, HK and China and I must say their perspectives on things especially politics is just as stubborn like everyone else. We have to see things with a more balance view, and I don't think your support on those things make it dangerous to travel to China. People in China discuss things online, in schools and in public, China is not as intolerant as you think. As long you're not engaged in separatists activities like overthrowing the CCP you should be fine.
@Zerg Cerebrates The comment "China wouldn't be as powerful or ecnomically successful if it wasn't because of ccp" is actually not scientific. Here give you some numbers buzzorange.com/2019/09/27/how-democracy-influence-economy/ There is a plot of GDP(ppp) vs Democracy rank in the page in English. In my opinion, China will finally become Democracy,it is only a matter of time. (maybe 1 year,maybe 50years later) I wish people help it to happen not against it.
Yes, there are many similarities between Taiwan and China, as your guest pointed out that we speak the same language, share the same culture, etc. However, one cannot easily get to know Taiwan without actually visiting it--the warmth of the people, the vibrance of the nature, the dynamics of the city--all these you need to see in person to know what Taiwan can offer.
American , Australians, India, new Zealand ......all became independent from United Kingdom but they all speak English . But They don't say they are British. Taiwan is an independent democratic country.
Totally different. UK colonised those places and they are very far from Britain. Taiwan is part of China and the KMT fled there after losing the civil war. Most of the world recognised the KMT government in Taipei as the government of all China up until the 70s. Taiwan calls itself the republic of China, meaning they still claim to be the legitimate govt of all China. But most countries recognise the PRC and accept the international norm that Taiwan is Chinese territory.
Taiwan's (Republic of China's) constitution says it is not. The constitution says Taiwan island is part of China so Taiwan cannot be an independent country when its own constitution says it isn't. Change the constitution and then we talk about independence.
I'm so touched by your video. As a Taiwanese, I've also visited almost all these places you show in this film. I myself enjoy the tranquil, natural spots in Taiwan, especially in the east of Taiwan. Aboriginal cultures are so multiple that I really like those very much. Further, most Taiwanese's forefathers are aborigines, including my family, according to scientific findings. Anyway, thanks for your introducing Taiwan to more people through your videos.
It would be very likely for a Chinese girl to go to Taiwan in a business capacity. It makes a lot of sense that she thought about it from a tourism perspective where it would be like a mainland Chinese province.
Taiwan is what the whole China would be if the communists wouldn't destroy it... To throw some balance... Kuomintang did take most of China's gold reserve with them when they retreated to Taiwan, so Taiwan had better starting conditions to build its economy, but nevertheless...
@@theteenbodybuilders, what do you mean exactly? I haven't been to China, but I grew up in USSR, and seeing with my own eyes what communists did to one country, I can imagine pretty well what they did to another... And I don't really have to imagine, all the information is out there for anyone who wants to learn...
@@theteenbodybuilders so free that if you say something against the government you would like disappear or "commit suicide", it is so free that they censor stuff like tiananmen ( I've search on baidu 六月四号 how Chinese people refer to tiananmen square massacre, I know a bit of Chinese, and there was nothing). And then they don't have free access to internet, little strange don't you think so?
Antonino Napoli no internet access to things is not freedom? How do you know the government would “disappear” you? Did the western media tell you so? I promise the Chinese government has other things to worry about like building an empire for the future than one persons opinion.
I am a Fujianese, and I will say there are many similar cultures between Taiwanese and Fujianese. By the way there are some parts of ROC (Taiwan) are in Fujian province.
I've also been to Xiamen. Xiamen along with Fujian is a great mix of green mountains and modern city, but for me it's still not as good as Taiwan because Taiwan had the friendliest people I've ever met while travelling. Actually, if you're in Xiamen and take a 30 min ferry over to Kinmen, part of the same sovereign state as Taiwan (Republic of China), you'll find much of the same friendliness and hospitality that Xiamen lacks.
I just cry seeing the sadness in her eye not know any Chinese culture and witness the difference between the CCP propaganda celebration in china and the video and you can see she is having hard time expression Taiwan culture. Free Tibet
I lived four years in china and one in Taiwan and can say they have a common history they have almost completely different cultures once you get past the surface level.
Well.....I can’t understand that why not only several foreigners but also a great number of Taiwaneses urge all Taiwanese should ignore political barriers and make friends with each other. 1. Why those guys don’t urge Americans or Japanese to make a friendships with Chinese? All in all,there’s no denying that Taiwan isn’t China’s family. And there’s no necessarily to particularly urge Taiwanese to make friends with China. Contrarily, no one would extraordinarily urge Americans to make “friends ”with Chinese. - 2. The most important is that not only Chinese government but also Chinese people(like those groups inclusive tourists) should stop using colonial attitude to Taiwan! (Well see those Chinese patriots in Australia and Canada) - 3. Less but not least,thank you for your video introducing Taiwan. I’m pretty fascinated with your vlogs,and I’ll keep following you. Have a nice day!
Your country is literally called the Republic of China. It's on your passport, it's on your ID card, it's on your driver's license. How schizo do you have to be to deny all connection to China when it's literally the name of your country?
@Pete Z It’s a complicated and controversial issue. I think it’s impolite to use schizo before you know the history of Taiwan and basic international law information. - 1.My above opinions’ China is indicating the People of Republic of China. - 2.Actually, didn’t clearly indicate whether Taiwan’s sovereignty is belongs to ROC or not. And Taiwan’s populations could date back to thousands of immigrants from Qing empire,Ming empire, Netherlands, Japan,and so on. The connection between Taiwan’s populations and China is just the 1949 immigrants. By the way, the concept of China hadn’t been put forward until the end of 19th century.So,the Ming empire is just a past nation of Chinese history, not a represent of China. And Qing empire actually was ruled the Chinese area not one of the China in history academics. - 3.To sum up,the ROC government indeed possesses governance to Taiwan, but Taiwan’s sovereignty has been a controversy. I can’t understand why you think Taiwan has such a deep connection with China. - 4.Contrarily, you would not particularly tell the residents of Thirteen Colonies that they are England,and they couldn’t deny all connections with England. And so does the all nations that independent after WW2. - 5.I don’t deny all connection with China. In Taiwan, people celebrate several Chinese holidays.And there still some communications of academics,economy,and transportation . Why you can resolutely tell I deny all connections? - 6.Thank you for your significant questions. And I am still willing to help you understand all your problem of Taiwan. I’m so regretful of my terrible English skill. So there may have some logically literal mistake.
@@Isaac-vd4ny Come on man, you can't seriously argue that Taiwan is not part of the ROC because of an imperfectly written treaty. Japan lost the war and control over Taiwan. And the ROC also has Kinmen and Matsu which Japan never had. Besides Japan was an imperialistic colonizer that killed million of not just Chinese, but many different peoples in Asia. You can't really be telling me you identify more with them than with China (ROC).
@@andyandys5356 She will definitely get in trouble for saying "China and Taiwan..." on camera. Because Mainlanders are not allowed to call Taiwan a country. So if she is not self-censoring herself and the video gets too much attention she could face consequences from the authorities. That is China. It's not a free country. It's an authoritarian Dictatorship that expects it's people to worship it.
@@YouTubianGuy Not trying to be offending but calling Chinese “mainlanders“ indicates that Taiwan is just an island belongs to China. Taiwanese prfer to be called just Taiwanese, and Chinese be called Chinese.
The European colonial influence is Dutch (in the south) and Spanish (in the north). Actually the oldest building in Taiwan is Fort San Domingo, which was built by the Spanish. What is Portuguese is the island's name "Formosa", which means beautiful. It was named like that by Portuguese navigators because of its natural beauty, but the Portuguese never actually landed on or colonized the island.
I’m so shocked that she had a kinda defensive stance when asked about Taiwan and was uninterested in visiting at all. I wonder what made her so dead set against it before the video.
If she doesn't want to go to Taiwan, that is her loss , not mine. I would rather visit a beautiful , friendly and safe country like Taiwan despite it is just an island nation with limited land.
Everything in life is always related to politics, but at the level of the state and government. We still eager to seek friendship in the doubt of the threat of force.
Taiwan is a province of China, it isn't an independent country and this is clearly stated in Taiwan's (Republic of China's) constitution. Go read and find out more and not be a frog in the well.
@@civicblade1 Yeah Taiwan is the Republic of China and China is the People's Rebublic of China. That does make it less a country than the PRC. Do you always refer to every country by it's official name? No you don't otherwise you would have wrote PRC. You know same as me that if the ROC would change their institution that the PRC would start a war, that's why they keep the status quo.
Why she say Taiwan is same like China and nothing to see??? Even every part of China they have different food and culture. That's why peoples travel to experience something different.This girl is just in denial about Taiwan.
Honestly though I feel the film director made Taiwan look better than it really is. I've lived there for almost 15 years already and been to most of the places in the video and I can honestly say for the most part it doesn't look as epic as the video. However, I still love the place and it has great food pretty much everywhere you go. Besides that, it's probably the safest place to be in during this pandemic.
Thank you! You did an amazing video that shows the beauty of Taiwan. And also this video break the misunderstand between Taiwan and China. Thank you so much
Taiwan's sovereignty： 1600~1624 Belongs to the Spanish colonial 1624~1662 Belongs to the Holland period, 1662~1683 Belongs to Zheng Chenggong period, is China Ming Dynasty. 1683~1895 Belongs to China's Qing Dynasty. 。Manchu not Chinese。 1895~1952 Belongs to Japan. 1952~~~～ Belonging to the ROC jurisdiction The Qing Dynasty in China ceded Taiwan to Japan. Japan and the Second World War surrendered in 1945. 。In 1951 Japan signed the San Francisco contract with the consent of the United Nations (renounced) its sovereignty over Taiwan. Japan did not let Taiwan return to any country. South Korea is not equal to North Korea. The Republic of China is not equal to the People's Republic of China.
You can say all you want but China regards Taiwan as part of its territory as China regard the Japanese occupation of Taiwan as illegal and the San Francisco accord states that Japan shall return its war time acquired territory to China. Taiwan is part of China. Taiwan is currently governed by the Republic of China and therefore is part of China. If you don't like it, change the constitution and declare that the Republic of China is void and Taiwan shall become an independent nation.
Thanks for making an awesome video of Taiwan.There is a big difference between Taiwanese & Chinese shown in your video. It is religion! Faith is an important thing in Taiwan.
Hey! That would be really helpful if you could create them actually, as I don't speak Chinese. You can do it through this link: th-cam.com/users/timedtext_video?ref=share&v=NDcTZkCG2mw
I am quite sure anyone who has lived in both countries don't think "it's very similar to China". I kinda feel it's like saying Singapore is similar to Malaysia, or SK to NK, cos they share some common grounds.
Of course Taiwan/Taipei is more similar to Xiamen then to Paris. It is all relative. Taiwan is more like China than Taiwan is to any European cities. This is very honest viewpoint coming from a mainlander who is living in Europe.
I lived in Taiwan for 2 years, and the people are the friendliest and most welcoming people I have ever met. The food is the best I have ever had. The natural beauty is something to experience and see. I miss it and can't wait to return

Nope. Taiwan is the Republic china. The real china. You cannot give China’s name to CCP. One day the Republic of China will went back to the mainland

Taiwan is Taiwan, China is china.

Let the fact tell who is the dreamer.
Show me if there were any PRC citizen who could enter Taiwan by using their ID issued by their government only and without the travel document issued by the Taiwan government.
Taiwan is a beautiful country. So, let's go to Taiwan.

Taiwan is Taiwan ， Not China !
We all know but Unfortunately. It's not yet what you say. Check your passport on nationality it shows
Republic of "China "
Kund99' , no worries, we will change it not long after, actually we are really different, so please don't force us to accept being a "China person"
@@roey4674 it just a fact that your nationality showing on the passport is
Republic of "China "
no one forcing you! not me
maybe your passport forcing you.
yes,of couse.taiwan is not China.taiwan belongs to China😏

Great video you made there, brother. I fell head over heals in love with Taiwan in 2018 and try to visit once a year, next trip coming up this May (coronavirus developments permitting...). Glad to see you're giving Kaohsiung some much deserved love, by the way! And what a coincidence that your Chinese guest is an absolute beauty. :) P.S.: indigenous tribes in Taiwan are related to pacific islanders, I believe.
Thank you for making the video to introduce the culture, people and scenery of Taiwan letting the world to knows us better.
Thank you for your film, which made Taiwan very beautiful. I am proud to be a Taiwanese 🇹🇼
Prayers are with you that you can remain free. I pray to GOD that the world will step in and do the right thing and not let what happened to Tibet happen to Taiwan.
You won’t see a lot of temples in China, you won’t hear Taiwanese accent in China, you will feel and smell the freedom in Taiwan, especially ㄌㄡˊㄅㄚˋㄅㄣ！
What are the characters at the end of your comment?

It should be ㄌㄡˊㄇㄚˋㄅㄣˊlol
CCP hire actors dressed like monks, and the xi's picture is hung in the temple's wall..... lol
Because of something called cultural revolution, they have done a pretty good job destroying thousands of years of history, I'm really impressed
I mean... without their ppl who keep saying "Oh, Taiwan is part of china, and we are brothers and sisters, cultures? Aren't them all from china?", everything is fine for us face to face eachother.
@Andrew Whyte The situation is... when you go to anyother country as taiwanese, It's somehow damn easy to met another chinese who thinking as what I just said.
The second issue is, for some of them, if you answer the question in a way they dont like, they'll "force" you to agree with them.
I'm damn serious, not a joke.
Most of them are really nice, but just once you met a idiot, just one, you'll see him bring "idiots" to "speak with you", until you agree "Taiwan is part of china".
@Reuel T I mean it was returned to China in 1945 and is part of the Republic of China ever since.

I'm from Mainland China and I do love the way you show Taiwan 台湾. I've been there several times and i have to say this is one of the most beautiful places of the world. Most of people living in Mainland China don't know Taiwan and how close connection we have with Taiwanese and Taiwan History. The relation between both side could be much better if we know each other.

Thank you 🙇♀️
Taiwan is my favorite country
Most of time, people from China may overlook the variety of cultures in Taiwan. They may think Taiwan has no difference to what they have in China. The biggest irony is, for Chinese people, gorgeous buildings or skyscrapers are the critera to judge a modern city. All that may be a joke!
As a Taiwanese , I believe China could be as adorable as Taiwan as long as CCP die out.
No politics here, but have you been to the Mainland at all? Chinese cities are a lot more modern and its nature is stunning. They have so many varieties of landscapes and natural beauty from the Himalyas to the desert. China has a lot to offer but most people only think about the CCP when it comes to the Mainland. It's an eye opening experience.

my point is China have much more potential to being better than now. I wanna go to China,
but my opinion on public affairs (support for Hong-Kong, Xinjiang people) make me dangerous to travel to China. Do you know 陳秋實 is arrested ?
@@smallbin5512 I understand what you're saying. That's why nothing is really black and white, there are a lot of gray areas that people overlook. There are many things that the CCP can learn from Taiwan, but China also wouldn't be as powerful or economically successful if it wasn't because of the CCP. I'm a Chinese American and I have families in Taiwan, HK and China and I must say their perspectives on things especially politics is just as stubborn like everyone else. We have to see things with a more balance view, and I don't think your support on those things make it dangerous to travel to China. People in China discuss things online, in schools and in public, China is not as intolerant as you think. As long you're not engaged in separatists activities like overthrowing the CCP you should be fine.
@Zerg Cerebrates
The comment
"China wouldn't be as powerful or ecnomically successful if it wasn't because of ccp"
is actually not scientific.
Here give you some numbers

There is a plot of GDP(ppp) vs Democracy rank in the page in English.
In my opinion, China will finally become Democracy,it is only a matter of time.
(maybe 1 year,maybe 50years later)
I wish people help it to happen not against it.
Thank you for filming & uploading this video. It's amazing! You've got a good combination of scenes showing the city, nature, & various cultures.
Taiwan is a very friendly country!!
Yes, there are many similarities between Taiwan and China, as your guest pointed out that we speak the same language, share the same culture, etc. However, one cannot easily get to know Taiwan without actually visiting it--the warmth of the people, the vibrance of the nature, the dynamics of the city--all these you need to see in person to know what Taiwan can offer.
American , Australians, India, new Zealand ......all became independent from United Kingdom but they all speak English . But They don't say they are British. Taiwan is an independent democratic country.
Totally different. UK colonised those places and they are very far from Britain. Taiwan is part of China and the KMT fled there after losing the civil war. Most of the world recognised the KMT government in Taipei as the government of all China up until the 70s. Taiwan calls itself the republic of China, meaning they still claim to be the legitimate govt of all China. But most countries recognise the PRC and accept the international norm that Taiwan is Chinese territory.
Taiwan's (Republic of China's) constitution says it is not. The constitution says Taiwan island is part of China so Taiwan cannot be an independent country when its own constitution says it isn't. Change the constitution and then we talk about independence.
I ’m from Taiwan, and very thank you for interpreting Taiwan so beautifully.🙏🏻
0:21 so have you ever been to Thailand?
I did say "Taiwan" but I must admit I could have articulated to avoid confusion :)
@@Toltaroundtheworld :)
I'm so touched by your video.
As a Taiwanese, I've also visited almost all these places you show in this film.
I myself enjoy the tranquil, natural spots in Taiwan, especially in the east of Taiwan.
Aboriginal cultures are so multiple that I really like those very much.
Further, most Taiwanese's forefathers are aborigines, including my family, according to scientific findings.
Anyway, thanks for your introducing Taiwan to more people through your videos.
Thanks for the beautiful job! Subscribed. Looking for more!
It would be very likely for a Chinese girl to go to Taiwan in a business capacity. It makes a lot of sense that she thought about it from a tourism perspective where it would be like a mainland Chinese province.
中國才叫高山族，臺灣人稱他們原住民。

Thanks for the great work Tolt , more satisfied the internet love your work as well!
Taiwan is what the whole China would be if the communists wouldn't destroy it...
To throw some balance... Kuomintang did take most of China's gold reserve with them when they retreated to Taiwan, so Taiwan had better starting conditions to build its economy, but nevertheless...
Zannooda you obviously never have traveled to China
@@theteenbodybuilders, what do you mean exactly? I haven't been to China, but I grew up in USSR, and seeing with my own eyes what communists did to one country, I can imagine pretty well what they did to another... And I don't really have to imagine, all the information is out there for anyone who wants to learn...
China is not the USSR this isn’t 1970 anymore China is a free world, I suggest you travel there before you listen to the western media lies.
@@theteenbodybuilders so free that if you say something against the government you would like disappear or "commit suicide", it is so free that they censor stuff like tiananmen ( I've search on baidu 六月四号 how Chinese people refer to tiananmen square massacre, I know a bit of Chinese, and there was nothing). And then they don't have free access to internet, little strange don't you think so?
Antonino Napoli no internet access to things is not freedom? How do you know the government would “disappear” you? Did the western media tell you so? I promise the Chinese government has other things to worry about like building an empire for the future than one persons opinion.
I am a Fujianese, and I will say there are many similar cultures between Taiwanese and Fujianese. By the way there are some parts of ROC (Taiwan) are in Fujian province.
It's an amazing video that you made.
I've also been to Xiamen. Xiamen along with Fujian is a great mix of green mountains and modern city, but for me it's still not as good as Taiwan because Taiwan had the friendliest people I've ever met while travelling. Actually, if you're in Xiamen and take a 30 min ferry over to Kinmen, part of the same sovereign state as Taiwan (Republic of China), you'll find much of the same friendliness and hospitality that Xiamen lacks.
I just cry seeing the sadness in her eye not know any Chinese culture and witness the difference between the CCP propaganda celebration in china and the video and you can see she is having hard time expression Taiwan culture. Free Tibet
PRC probably has much more historic places to see.
Lol
Since the video came out
There're just so many Taiwanese in this channel (include me)
And...yeah
Don't let politics turn us against each other...

How can you say something like this, for Taiwan politics is necessary, do you want to become a slay of the CCP?
Antonino Napoli we will fight against the China army if they invade my country
I lived four years in china and one in Taiwan and can say they have a common history they have almost completely different cultures once you get past the surface level.
The cinematics on that video was really well done.
The Guy : Let’s react to Video about Taiwan
The Girl ( and mostly everyone ) : You shot this videos !!! . They are amazing. Amazing transitions
from her facial expression in the end she seems to have agreed to disagree your last few lines:)
Well.....I can’t understand that why not only several foreigners but also a great number of Taiwaneses urge all Taiwanese should ignore political barriers and make friends with each other.
1. Why those guys don’t urge Americans or Japanese to make a friendships with Chinese?
All in all,there’s no denying that Taiwan isn’t China’s family. And there’s no necessarily to particularly urge Taiwanese to make friends with China.
Contrarily, no one would extraordinarily urge Americans to make “friends ”with Chinese.
-
2. The most important is that not only Chinese government but also Chinese people(like those groups inclusive tourists) should stop using colonial attitude to Taiwan!
(Well see those Chinese patriots in Australia and Canada)
-
3. Less but not least,thank you for your video introducing Taiwan.
I’m pretty fascinated with your vlogs,and I’ll keep following you.
Have a nice day!
Your country is literally called the Republic of China. It's on your passport, it's on your ID card, it's on your driver's license. How schizo do you have to be to deny all connection to China when it's literally the name of your country?
@Pete Z
It’s a complicated and controversial issue.
I think it’s impolite to use schizo before you know the history of Taiwan and basic international law information.
-
1.My above opinions’ China is indicating the People of Republic of China.
-
2.Actually, didn’t clearly indicate whether Taiwan’s sovereignty is belongs to ROC or not.
And Taiwan’s populations could date back to thousands of immigrants from Qing empire,Ming empire, Netherlands, Japan,and so on.
The connection between Taiwan’s populations and China is just the 1949 immigrants.
By the way, the concept of China hadn’t been put forward until the end of 19th century.So,the Ming empire is just a past nation of Chinese history, not a represent of China. And Qing empire actually was ruled the Chinese area not one of the China in history academics.
-
3.To sum up,the ROC government indeed possesses governance to Taiwan, but Taiwan’s sovereignty has been a controversy.
I can’t understand why you think Taiwan has such a deep connection with China.
-
4.Contrarily, you would not particularly tell the residents of Thirteen Colonies that they are England,and they couldn’t deny all connections with England.
And so does the all nations that independent after WW2.
-
5.I don’t deny all connection with China. In Taiwan, people celebrate several Chinese holidays.And there still some communications of academics,economy,and transportation .
Why you can resolutely tell I deny all connections?
-
6.Thank you for your significant questions.
And I am still willing to help you understand all your problem of Taiwan.
I’m so regretful of my terrible English skill.
So there may have some logically literal mistake.
@@Isaac-vd4ny Come on man, you can't seriously argue that Taiwan is not part of the ROC because of an imperfectly written treaty. Japan lost the war and control over Taiwan. And the ROC also has Kinmen and Matsu which Japan never had. Besides Japan was an imperialistic colonizer that killed million of not just Chinese, but many different peoples in Asia. You can't really be telling me you identify more with them than with China (ROC).
I'd be careful, if this blows up she could get in trouble back from the mainland
You think she'll get into trouble for saying she'd love to travel there one day??
@@andyandys5356 She will definitely get in trouble for saying "China and Taiwan..." on camera. Because Mainlanders are not allowed to call Taiwan a country. So if she is not self-censoring herself and the video gets too much attention she could face consequences from the authorities. That is China. It's not a free country. It's an authoritarian Dictatorship that expects it's people to worship it.
@@YouTubianGuy Not trying to be offending but calling Chinese “mainlanders“ indicates that Taiwan is just an island belongs to China. Taiwanese prfer to be called just Taiwanese, and Chinese be called Chinese.
@@DumDumFish Agreed. I only call it mainland because HK and Macau are still PRC, while Taiwan is ROC, a separate country.
@@YouTubianGuy Oh.. alright. Still apologize for my rude comment.
The European colonial influence is Dutch (in the south) and Spanish (in the north). Actually the oldest building in Taiwan is Fort San Domingo, which was built by the Spanish. What is Portuguese is the island's name "Formosa", which means beautiful. It was named like that by Portuguese navigators because of its natural beauty, but the Portuguese never actually landed on or colonized the island.
I’m so shocked that she had a kinda defensive stance when asked about Taiwan and was uninterested in visiting at all. I wonder what made her so dead set against it before the video.
She doesn't want to end up in a CCP "re-education camp" or worse.
If she doesn't want to go to Taiwan, that is her loss , not mine. I would rather visit a beautiful , friendly and safe country like Taiwan despite it is just an island nation with limited land.
Thank you ! Love from Taiwan !

#1 Taiwan has their own language....
Taiwan is very similar to the Province of Fujian where it is near. The culture and architecture is pretty similar to that side too.
Taiwan and China are quite different. At least she knows that Taiwan is a country.
Taiwan is a province of China, it isn't an independent country and this is clearly stated in Taiwan's (Republic of China's) constitution. Go read and find out more and not be a frog in the well.
@@civicblade1 Yeah Taiwan is the Republic of China and China is the People's Rebublic of China. That does make it less a country than the PRC.
Do you always refer to every country by it's official name? No you don't otherwise you would have wrote PRC.
You know same as me that if the ROC would change their institution that the PRC would start a war, that's why they keep the status quo.
Why she say Taiwan is same like China and nothing to see??? Even every part of China they have different food and culture. That's why peoples travel to experience something different.This girl is just in denial about Taiwan.
All Taiwaneses love your film, It is so professional and beautiful. Thank you for making this film
Honestly though I feel the film director made Taiwan look better than it really is. I've lived there for almost 15 years already and been to most of the places in the video and I can honestly say for the most part it doesn't look as epic as the video. However, I still love the place and it has great food pretty much everywhere you go. Besides that, it's probably the safest place to be in during this pandemic.
台湾真的很美。
Thank you!
You did an amazing video that shows the beauty of Taiwan.
And also this video break the misunderstand between Taiwan and China. Thank you so much
Until some Chinese boi says that if Taiwan declares independence the great 中国 will invade it
(That bois are Chinese foreign politicians)
Taiwan's sovereignty：
1600~1624 Belongs to the Spanish colonial
1624~1662 Belongs to the Holland period,
1662~1683 Belongs to Zheng Chenggong period, is China Ming Dynasty.
1683~1895 Belongs to China's Qing Dynasty. 。Manchu not Chinese。
1895~1952 Belongs to Japan.
1952~~~～ Belonging to the ROC jurisdiction
The Qing Dynasty in China ceded Taiwan to Japan. Japan and the Second World War surrendered in 1945. 。In 1951 Japan signed the San Francisco contract with the consent of the United Nations (renounced) its sovereignty over Taiwan. Japan did not let Taiwan return to any country.
South Korea is not equal to North Korea.
The Republic of China is not equal to the People's Republic of China.
You can say all you want but China regards Taiwan as part of its territory as China regard the Japanese occupation of Taiwan as illegal and the San Francisco accord states that Japan shall return its war time acquired territory to China. Taiwan is part of China. Taiwan is currently governed by the Republic of China and therefore is part of China.
If you don't like it, change the constitution and declare that the Republic of China is void and Taiwan shall become an independent nation.
Your video is amazing. Well done!

I have tried to translate, but I just have cellphone, and the TH-cam interface just for computer, so, Sorry.
I am quite sure anyone who has lived in both countries don't think "it's very similar to China". I kinda feel it's like saying Singapore is similar to Malaysia, or SK to NK, cos they share some common grounds.
Of course Taiwan/Taipei is more similar to Xiamen then to Paris. It is all relative. Taiwan is more like China than Taiwan is to any European cities. This is very honest viewpoint coming from a mainlander who is living in Europe.
