  • An increasingly powerful China is stepping up its aggression against the self-governing island of Taiwan -- an alarming development that could result in a U.S.-China showdown with massive economic consequences. CBS Reports heads to Taiwan to examine how the Taiwanese are building resistance in the face of growing threats, and the global stakes of the island’s fate.

      Take it easy Rob. Have you been to mainland China lately? If you haven't, I suggest you come over for a visit, when the borders reopen. Many of your people from Taiwan are working and living in different cities in the mainland. Today's China is not a "Totalitarian Dictatorship," as you describe it to be. It was 70 years ago, but not these days. Hundreds of thousands of expats from many countries are living, working and studying in China. China is a prosperous and advancing country. Don't fall for the propaganda and negative influences of other countries. Their interest in this matter is to sell Billions of dollars of weapons to Taiwan and start a proxy war between Taiwan and China, in order to push back China's prosperity and advancements. Maybe you should pay a visit to N. Korea to see what a "Totalitarian Dictatorship" is really all about. P.S. The island of Taiwan and the sea around it is officially China's territory/property. It was taken over unlawfully and has never been recognized as an independent country. It's a runaway state.!

Taiwan's biggest importance is the geopolitical role in the East Asia and the security implications to the US and its allies in west pacific and Oceania.

      Yes, but we have to finish the civil war and decide who wins and who loses. Running away to Taiwan will not solve the problem. This is also the reason why China does not give up force. Besides, China does not want to destroy Taiwan. To recognize one China, there is no need for war, no need to change the system, and even no need to garrison troops and keep the national flag.

      China is not a dictatorship, this is what the westerners don't understand China. China's ruling class has about 100 million party members. These people vote for their leaders just like the Conservative party in the UK vote for its leader. The leaders in China had all worked from the bottom up and had proven themselves through decades of contribution to the country and competitons with their contending peers. It's one-party rule, not a dictatorship. Any leader in China can be voted off in the party when he makes mistake or underperforms, or merely loses the appeal or support of the party. A dictatorship never ends and always passes down to the son of the dictator. This is how dictatorships failed in history. China today is not that dictatorship. Saying China is a dictatorship is like saying an apple is an orange. Trying to become a communist member is not easy in China. So whoever becomes one then, he also has to meet lots of challengers to clime to the top of the party power. He had proven himself among his 100 million peers. If China is the kind of dictatorship the west projects, China won't be in this condition today. The system is actually a meritocracy even though the west refuses to see it this way. But this is how China is governed and managed, by meritocracy. When Xi dies, there will be a different leader who had also spent decades, rolling up the sleeves and climbing from the bottom to the top rank. Getting elected in the west is easy. But surviving the polibureau in China is not.

    I think people forget Taiwan legally belongs to China. In 1895 China lost a war with Japan and Taiwan was ceded to Japan by China in a Treaty. After World War II. Japan lost and Taiwan was return to China in another treaty, The Sino-Japanese Peace Treaty. Chiang kai shek's ROC government who was consider to be the legal government of China at the time represented China in accepting Taiwan back for China. So legally Taiwan really belong to China. This is one of the best legal claims to a territory by a country in world history.

    I dare to say that most people don't even know what is the official name of Taiwan and where Taiwan is, they just argue the war blindly based on media propaganda. How ridiculous.
    1. What is the full name of Taiwan?
    it is the Republic of China.
    2. What is the origin of the Taiwan issue?
    In 1911, the Xinhai Revolution overthrew the rule of the Qing dynasty, and China began its path towards modernization with set up of Republic of China. Shortly thereafter, the Chinese Civil War broke out between the Chinese Communist Party and the Chinese Nationalist Party, leading to intense political and military struggles.
    In 1949, the Chinese Civil War ended with the victory of the Chinese Communist Party under the leadership of Mao Zedong, which established the People's Republic of China. The Chinese Nationalist Party retreated to Taiwan and established a temporary government, continuing to claim itself as the legitimate government of China.
    Since then, there has been a political confrontation and division between mainland China and Taiwan, becoming an issue of international concern. Currently, mainland China considers Taiwan as an integral part of China, while Taiwan insists on maintaining its independent political system and advocates for independence.
    3. What is the relationship between USA and ROC?
    The US government, when the Chinese Civil War began in 1947, believed that the leader of the ROC, Chiang Kai-shek's government, was corrupt and did not make efforts to support it. The US allowed the Chinese Civil War to escalate, and after the ROC Chiang Kai-shek government was defeated and retreated to Taiwan, it became a dictatorship similar to North Korea. The CCP was preparing to attack Taiwan, and the US completely abandoned support for Chiang Kai-shek, using Taiwan as a bargaining chip for the CCP to remain neutral and not lean towards the Soviet Union. However, with the outbreak of the Korean War and China's involvement, the US and China completely broke ties, and the US announced its protection of Taiwan and the ROC. Ironically, at that time, the ROC in Taiwan was a military dictatorship under Chiang Kai-shek, with no connection to democracy.
    Until the late 1980s, it was not until Chiang Kai-shek's successor, his son, announced, before his death, that the abandonment of military dictatorship and opened up elections that Taiwan began its so-called democracy. Prior to this, the US had been protecting the ROC in Taiwan, with no association with supporting democracy, just like the US support for the Saudi Arabian government, entirely for US interests.
    4. What is the understanding of the Taiwan issue by Mainland China and the CCP?
    After the Qing Dynasty occupied mainland China, the remnant forces of the Ming Dynasty withdrew to Taiwan and defeated the Dutch who had occupied Taiwan, using Taiwan as a base to resist the Qing Dynasty. This is similar to the relationship between the PRC and ROC today. Eventually, the Qing Dynasty crossed the Taiwan Strait and defeated the remnants of the Ming Dynasty, officially establishing China's rule over Taiwan. From then on, Taiwan has been regarded as a part of China by China. Therefore, as the legal successor of China, the CCP government of mainland China believes that Taiwan is a part of China, and the prerequisite for establishing diplomatic relations with any foreign country is to recognize that Taiwan is a part of China, including the United States, Australia, and other countries. The CCP government regards the recovery of Taiwan as one of the signs that the CCP is the legitimate inheritor of China's governance. China regards the war to recover Taiwan as a continuation of the Chinese Civil War.
    5. The relationship between Japan and Taiwan is as follows:
    Japan defeated the Qing dynasty and occupied Taiwan in 1895, and held it until the end of World War II in 1945. At that time, the legitimate government of China, the ROC, took back Taiwan. Four years later, the ROC was defeated by the CCP and retreated to Taiwan. Japan ruled Taiwan for 50 years and promoted Japanese language and culture, deeply colonizing Taiwan. In the 1990s, after Taiwan ended military dictatorship and opened up elections, a large number of Japanese-influenced Taiwanese entered the ROC ruling circle, and their influence was significant. Two out of four Taiwanese presidents since the elections are Japanized Taiwanese, including the current president, who has close ties with Japan. This is also the main reason why Japan believes it has an interest in Taiwan and may participate in a war over Taiwan.
    6. What is the relationship between CCP and the United States?
    During World War II, the relationship between the United States and the CCP was not bad, and American military advisors had a better impression of the CCP than the Chiang Kai-shek government. Until the outbreak of the Korean War, the United States had hoped to abandon its support for the ROC Chiang Kai-shek government in exchange for CCP neutrality between the United States and the Soviet Union. The Korean War prevented the CCP from reclaiming Taiwan, and the US fleet sailed into the Taiwan Strait to protect the Chiang Kai-shek dictatorship. By the 1970s, during the peak period of the US-Soviet Union rivalry, the CCP's relationship with the Soviet Union broke down and the CCP and the United States came together to confront the Soviet Union. This led to the US acquiescing to the PRC replacing the ROC in the UN Security Council as a permanent member in the 1970s, and the United States also used Taiwan as a bargaining chip in dealing with the CCP. Chinese-American economic cooperation reached its peak in the past 20 years, with US capital utilizing China's cheap labor, US companies making a lot of money, and China's economy taking off. Both sides got what they needed, and the unlucky ones were American workers. Objectively speaking, this cannot be blamed on China. The characteristic of capitalists is to pursue profits, and if there were no China, there would be other low-wage labor countries serving US capital. After Trump took office and oppressed other countries, he demanded that countries including the United States, Europe, Japan, and other allies make major concessions to American interests, and all countries were forced to agree except China. Xi Jinping had already taken office by this time. China was already one of Trump's key targets, but not his only and largest target. Although Trump initially had a good relationship with Xi Jinping when he took office because Trump always liked political strongmen like Putin, due to Xi Jinping's unwillingness to make major concessions and not giving Trump face, China gradually became Trump's only major target, and Chinese-American relations deteriorated until now. Initially, most people in China did not support or dare to challenge US authority, but Xi Jinping's blind self-reliance and insistence on not making concessions placed great pressure on China when the US-China trade war began. However, the outbreak and spread of COVID-19, and Trump's lack of attention to the pandemic, led to his failure to be re-elected and a decline in US national strength. The trade war eased, and China passed the pressure test of US-China relations, and is no longer afraid of the United States. The Ukrainian war gave China a second chance to catch its breath, further consolidating its power, and China has been lucky. China has undergone large-scale militarization mainly in recent years, especially after Trump began to suppress China, which made China feel a sense of crisis.
    From the history of China-US relations, it can be seen that the idea that the US supports democratic countries is simply media propaganda. The starting point of US decision-making has always been its own interests. Taiwan has always been a bargaining chip for the United States in dealing with China, and the US doesn't really care whether Taiwan is good or bad. The US is now discussing the Taiwan issue mainly to contain China. China's growing strength has challenged US authority, and the US now wants to use all its power to suppress and defeat China.
    7. What is the relationship between China and Australia?
    China has always naively regarded Australia as a friend and economic partner, believing that Australia's close economic ties with China would enable it to remain at least neutral in the US-China conflict. However, the MORRISON government has shattered China's dream. China has no territorial claims or conflicts with Australia, but Australia has taken sides and participated in the Taiwan issue in the US-China conflict. If Australia initiates an attack on the Chinese military, it will face missile attacks on its own soil from China. Without thinking, Australia's decision-makers have sided with the United States, making the country's future very bleak. If China and the United States go to war over Taiwan, most Australians are unaware of the severe economic and missile impact that a war would bring. For Australia, the best choice is actually to not participate in the war, but unfortunately this is almost impossible. Australia's media and government have a terrifying one-sided thinking that does not consider Australian interests in decision-making, and Australia's decision-making power has already been controlled by the United States.
    If the United States entered the war to compete with China for hegemony and Japan entered the war to maintain its interests in former colonies, then what was Australia's participation for? Was it to demonstrate loyalty to its American master, to provide a reason for supporting democracy that even Americans don't believe, and then to face decades of economic decline alone? That would be too stupid!

    The most important thing the West can do is intervene in a Taiwanese conflict both geographically and technologically. The US and our allies will break a crucial link in the First Island Chain defense strategy if the Chinese secure a victory over Taiwan. Such a break would be catastrophic for the US, our allies and would weaken our supremacy in much of the Pacific, enabling the Chinese to encroach our shores relatively undeterred, should they choose to do so.
    However, what's even more concerning is its potential for Chinese political influence in Western Democracies. At present, the world's largest supplier of semiconductors is in Taiwan. For the uninitiated, semiconductors are the oil of the tech world. Semiconductors are also notoriously difficult to manufacture, and the process that Taiwan has managed to monopolize is one of the nation's top-guarded secrets. If China can access the means of production that Taiwan has accumulated, it would be able to put a stranglehold on computer power in Western Democracies.
    In other words, if China doesn't like what the West says about it, it can essentially destroy its computer manufacturing capabilities. Such an outcome would be devastating and have ramifications that could impact E-Commerce and computer-based security.
    Under the Trump administration, the idea of destroying the Taiwanese semiconductor industry was floated, although this was ambiguously backpedaled later following heat from Taiwan. The idea was to ensure neither side had access to the semiconductor industry. This approach would be devastating to both the US and China and would only weaken the US. It would take us years to recover any resemblance of digital supremacy, and there is no way to ensure the Chinese don't surpass us as we are trying to return to previous benchmarks.
    I support the Biden Administration's approach, which is to encourage Taiwan to continue to foster our relationships in Asia and the broader Pacific and encourage Taiwan to move production of its semiconductors to allied nations like the US and Japan. The US also is building up its presence in places like the Philipines and Australia. We will unlikely be able to avoid an invasion of Taiwan. Still, we can be prepared for that eventuality by investing in the region and building our self-sufficiency at home and amongst our allies.
