Good attempt by CNA to shed light onto the issue. But how can they not invite Professor Kishore to share his thoughts. I reckon he will take most of the commentators featured to school.
Taiwan is a pseudo-country. if they want to become a full-country, Taiwan should proclaim independence. US, UK, Japan, India, and Lithuania are the first countries to recognize..
Most of the US commenters featured are from anti-China think tanks and have made careers out of justifying increased US military spending. No original or independent thinking amongst them. Agree that Kishore Mahbubani is way above then in intellectual power and would totally destroy their weak arguments.
Contrary to what most Asian & Australian people believe the overwhelming majority of Americans are not willing to sacrifice themselves or their children in a war with China over Taiwan…. It doesn’t matter what American politicians say, the American people are not willing to do it!
Contrary to your statement, The American military industrial complex would love to increase their profits. Do you believe politicians will ignore influential lobbyists?
@@smoochie3331 what u said about the fighting Nazi is true when Germany tried to invade UK, who is the brother of US. However, what if Germany just wanted to unify with Austria? Will USA still join that war? People living in Taiwan are literally Chinese, and around 95% are Han Chinese, which is even higher than that of Mainland Chinese, which is around 91%. I am from mainland China but I highly appreciate the democracy in Taiwan, and I respect Taiwan people's freedom and dignity. I hope they retain their democratic and constitutional system. However, denying they are ethnic Chinese offended our emotion. Even though, I cherish there is no war between mainland China and Taiwan, and I heartedly hope people in Taiwan keep in prosperity and live in complete autocracy. Regarding US' choice if there is really a war, I don't think US will risk its own people's lives to intervene an ethnically internal war of Chinese people, unless China said after Taiwan, they would take Australia or New Zealand, which is groundlessly to happen based on my understanding.
China is powerful enough to run and to control anything they want, but invading Taiwan is a whole different story nevertheless do not underestimate everyone

@@EzraMerr You must understand that the so called buffer zone could be created by anyone. There is no international legal base for it . Taiwan's buffer zone even includes Chinese mainland area.
@@EzraMerr Incorrect. An ADIZ is a self declared zone and is not determined by international law. An ADIZ is international airspace and not the same as a country's territorial airspace. Taiwan's ADIZ actually intrudes far into China's territory that even planes on the ground can be considered intruding into Taiwan's ADIZ. This is Taiwan's disingenuous manipulation of facts.
Why isn't the United States supporting the independence of the Luhansk and Donetsk republics, which are fighting for American values, for freedom and democracy, for defending human rights against Ukrainian aggression
Taiwan only became a limited democracy until after 1988. Before that it was an anti-communist dictatorship ruled over by the right-wing Chinese nationalist party. The current ruling party is liberal and said to be Taiwanese nationalist in opposition to the Chinese Nationalist Party (Kuomintang). However despite their Taiwanese rhetoric, the Democratic Progressive Party has not declared independence and still maintains the Republic of China as build by the Chinese nationalists since 1911.
The ruling party also maintains that the Republic of China has no need to declare independence as it predates the current mainland government and is therefore already independent. But let's be real, the people of Taiwan by and large don't actually believe in any serious claim to the mainland anyway.
@@KM-jf6bn Stop lying to yourself. The concept of "independence" is based on sovereignty, not on government. Only China has sovereignty. Neither mainland and taiwan has sovereignty. The PRC government only currently has the power of representing China's sovereignty which was previously represented by ROC until 1971 in the United Nations. It means China's sovereignty has not changed, but the representitive has changed. You were kicked out of the UN in 1971. You should understand that PRC and ROC are in the concept of government, not sovereignty. Only China has sovereignty. PRC and ROC do not have sovereignty, but only represent the entire China's sovereignty currently and previously. Your so called independence is the entire China's independence which include both mainland and Taiwan together as a whole, when ROC still had power to represent the entire China. The taiwan island has never has its own sovereignty and no independence as well. BTW, we don't care people in Taiwan believe any cliam by mainland or not, just like the US did not care about the claim by the people in Confederate States in 1861. You want your independence, go somewhere else such as Tokyo or London to declare your indepencence on their land, but the Taiwan island belongs to China. We want our island back and we won't allow non Chinese people to declear independence on our land.
It is 'silly' reporting. China is already far far stronger than USA. For example, China is 100% in support of Russia as Russia punishes Ukraine. Biden whined to Xi for 2 hours. Xi told Biden to f-off. The transcripts of Biden's begging-n-pleading are kept secret, of course. But China makes it no secret. It is just a matter of time before China spanks Taiwan. USA is rotting from inside out. Blacks, Illegal Latinos, Gays, Lesbians are the celebrated people in USA.
Meanwhile, the US has the middle class paying all of the taxes, while the rich exploit countless loopholes and use write-offs to bring their taxable income down to zero while making millions a year in equity... Hope you all are doing well right now, headed into the recession. More inflation & Fed rate hikes to come...
All they talk about is what mainland China is doing now. They never talk about what Taiwan was doing with US's support when the economical and military power balance was the opposite decades ago. Let me give you a hint, worse than what the mainland is doing right now.
Agreed, no for chips otherwise you can't explain why China needs it back for 70 years, no chips back then. Another reason is to keep US war ships far away from China's water and stop militarize Taiwan just like what they militarized Afghan, Iraq, and now Ukraine.

There is but one China in the world, Taiwan is part of China’s territory and the government of the People’s Republic of China is the sole legal government representing the whole of China. This is a consensus of the international community and a commitment made by the US to China. The one-China principle is unshakable, China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity cannot be violated and the red line of avoiding creating “two Chinas” and “one China, one DIEwan” must not be crossed. China has full confidence and capability and are fully prepared to firmly stem the “DIEwan independence” separatist activities, foil all external interference and resolutely uphold its sovereignty and territorial integrity. I’d like to advise better listen to a well-known Chinese song with these lyrics: “For our friends, we have fine wine. For jackals or wolves, we welcome with shotguns.”
This civil war of China has been lasted about 75 years since 1946 and still is not ended. Hope a peaceful solution can be found to end this war. Both sides of the Taiwan strait are territories of the same country. Leave people there to solve the problem themselves wisely.
Sovereignty comes from people's free expression of their universal natural right of self determination. Taiwan is a separate, independent sovereign country because the people of Taiwan say that Taiwan is a separate, independent sovereign country. As a result, an invasion by the PRC will be just that, an illegal, immoral invasion. It will not be a continuation of the long-expired civil war. Military support for Taiwan will be entirely justified. Furthermore, countries that do not respect the universal natural right of self determination lose their right to be included in the global world order. Of particular note, that means that China's access to international maritime trade can be revoked. That will be awful for the people of China, because without access to international maritime trade, China can't keep the lights on or its people fed. And with China in economic collapse and suffering mass famine, Taiwan will be able to stand on its own.
@@yopyop3241 tell that to the people in Spain or Canada I believe that they will love you to death. You are programmed to believe the war is the way out and should be condemned.

Is Taiwan a really country or part of China? In my country, Media always call Taiwan as a part of China like Hk or Macau. But to me, Taiwanese seem to be very independent country
Functionally, for all intents and purposes, Taiwan (the Republic of China) has operated as an independent state and country for over 70 years. They have their own military, their own government, their own taxation system, their own passports and they don't answer to the government in Beijing. Their government predates the one on the mainland and the current mainland government has never ruled the island of Taiwan. While most countries don't officially recognize Taiwan as an independent country, so that they can access mainland China's markets, many still operate unofficial offices that act as embassies and consulates with Taiwan. Furthermore, Taiwan has been holding free and fair democratic elections as a multi-party democracy for nearly 30 years now, and is even the first East Asian state to legalize same-sex marriage. After 70 years of separation, it seems that Taiwan has drifted away and developed enough of an identity and society where you could view it as a southern Chinese republic, but not specifically a part of China. The mainland government pressures any country or corporation it deals with to adopt their language regarding Taiwan, or be blocked out of any deals with the Chinese market.

China haven't invade any county in 40 years compared to democratic nation that always in war. On the other hand, "Americans have been invading other countries since before America was a thing, as early as 1741, when the North American battleground for the War of Austrian Succession was called King George’s War - one of the French and Indian Wars.

This is ridiculous. Former KMT leader ChiangKS was once the leader of entire China (include Taiwan province) fr 1911-1949. His govt lost the civil war with CCP n escaped to Taiwan in 1949. Hoping to retake whole of China some day. Till todate no peace treaty was signed to end their civil war. So nw DPP want to say Taiwan isnt part of China? How tragic?

@@Happymind-happyworld. What are you talking about. The native languages for 95 percent of Taiwanese people is either Mandarin, Hokkien, or Hakka. All are Chinese languages. That doesn't mean they need to be ruled by the mainland, just like London doesn't rule the Anglo-speaking world.
The logic is simple: a major premise: Republic of China is a Chinese authority established in 1912 Nanjing, China. a minor premise: Taiwan, as well as Jinmen, Mazu and Penghu, is currently ruled by Republic of China. conclusion: Taiwan is part of China. Yes, in China there are currently two opposing governments, People's Republic of China and Republic of China, that's because the civil war in China hasn't ended since 1945 since no armistice has ever been signed. PRC and ROC are just like the Union (the North ) and the Confederacy (the South) in the American civil war, both of which are part of China.

"If a country can use military force to unilaterally change the status quo, that will challenge the current rule of law for international order." Really? Ever heard of Iraq?
You mean Iraq invaded Kuwait? Or Russia is trying to do now to Ukraine? yes we all know what happened to the totalitarian Hassan, but Putin seems too proud to believe the consequences he has to pay. Let's hope his buddy Xi Winnie won't make the same mistake.
Iraq destroyed the status quo time and time again. Just looking from the 80's, Iraq (Saddam) invaded Iran and waged a horrifically bloody war for 8 years from 1980-88. Then they used WMDs against their own people (gassing the Kurds with VX, Sarin). Then in 1991 they invaded and took over Kuwait, and invaded a part of Saudi Arabia. The US and the coalition with us stopped them, executed a most technical and tactical defeat with only 4 days of ground war against the worlds 4th/5th largest army. It's important to remember how many experts in the west and east were claiming how badly the US was gonna fail, and it was gonna be a second Vietnam. They had the latest USSR export equipment, were using textbook USSR tactics, and were by far the most battle-experienced troops in the world at that point. But all the anti-west; anti-American naysayers were dead wrong. After that there was 10 years of low-level conflicts, expensive no-fly zones, and conflicts with the UN weapons inspectors trying to verify they actually dismantled their indeginous chemical weapons program etc, etc. 2003 was done on faulty intelligence obtained from torture (but torture that is so far less than what any autocratic country does, there's no genuine comparison) and a desire and greed for secure access to its the lifeblood of civilization, oil, and was wrong given the justification. But only someone who is ignorant, ingenuine, or a supporter of a despot/dictator like Xi would pretend that Iraq was this innocent, rule of law abiding, democratic, moral country. They were anything but, they were the North Korea of the middle east, and butchered their neighbors, their own people, and ran a fearsome police state subjugating their own people to their ever present evil.

A truly powerful man isn't afraid of criticisms and don't get raged easily, let alone beat people up nor ask others to keep mouth shut. So is a country. Brute force isn't considered powerful, let alone when your real force is still questionable given all the shunned media
@comment sense it's so sad China has to rape Taiwan to show its strength and create the illusion of being more powerful. Sad it isn't superior in any aspects but can only show muscles to its neighbor countries. When girls say no it's no. When Taiwanese say f**k off, we mean it literally.
As far as policy changes, I think getting rid of the UN permanent VETO power would remove a lot more chances of invasions, proxy conflicts, and arms races, and would improve equal sovereignty between nations.
And then maybe like a 75% winning vote from Taiwanese people if they wanted to be independent or part of China, and an agreement from all sides to keep toting this line until that number is reached.
That VETO power comes from winning the Second World War by bearing tens of millions causalities of Chinese people from fighting Japan fascist invasion. You should be able to evaluate what it takes if you want to remove it. I support Taiwan people to build and to run a democratic country, but they have to find a place outside China territory.

We as the US should mirror greater aspects of our republic by proposing to reform the UN by removing the semi autocratic permanent veto power into a more democratic policy. "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance." "It's great to have a Republic, if you can keep it." -Benjamin Franklin. As a way to confer good power, internationally we should create models for fully reusable easy to clean pressurized food and drink receptacles including the lids available for commercial use. As much of current commercial receptacles/lids are meant for recycling, and recycling is the last of the 4rs. It goes: reduce, reuse, repurpose, recycle. I like much of what the US stands for. I strive to lead by example to help create a stronger, healthier, resilient, just, fair, free, safe and thrifty economy and country. I also strive to help create a much larger and sustainable carrying capacity for others to more readily immigrate to my country. It's OK to on occasion have a cry for the fallen and struggling, and to peacefully keep working to make the world a better place for the now and the future in whichever county one chooses.
The Taiwan problem is not simply a super power rivalry rather it involves basic fundamental human rights of existence, of freedom and of liberty which communism has no place in both legal and moral standing.

There's a predicament...but I still find it obvious that this a domestic issue, US should approach this with caution, the silver lining is that this will prompt US to search ways to be less dependent on foreign products, China in the other hand should look for a diplomatic solutions and use confrontation as last resort, as we all know, this wouldn't be a proxi war but direct war between these western and Eastern titans respectively
There is but one China in the world, Taiwan is part of China’s territory and the government of the People’s Republic of China is the sole legal government representing the whole of China. This is a consensus of the international community and a commitment made by the US to China. The one-China principle is unshakable, China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity cannot be violated and the red line of avoiding creating “two Chinas” and “one China, one DIEwan” must not be crossed. China has full confidence and capability and are fully prepared to firmly stem the “DIEwan independence” separatist activities, foil all external interference and resolutely uphold its sovereignty and territorial integrity. I’d like to advise better listen to a well-known Chinese song with these lyrics: “For our friends, we have fine wine. For jackals or wolves, we welcome with shotguns.”

I am all for nations (Taiwan) having an "Air defense ID Zone", as most nations should. I find it odd that a sizeable part of that zone is over a chunk of China's actual land along the coastline. I would think that would cause a lot more friction than necessary.
The range of an Air defense ID Zone is based on the hardware that is supplying it. The US has one as well. Taiwan being so close to China means that a quality radar system will almost certainly reach and go beyond the Chinese coastline. It’s not a big deal, what matters more is how it is used. The area to be more concerned about is the area that is about 23 km off the coast of Taiwan. Any closer than that is considered Taiwan’s exclusive airspace and they could shoot down a perceived threat if they so choose. In a lot of ways you could say that China is trying to both intimidate as well as to instigate a shot being fired at themselves while being outside of this zone. Such a shot would be an act of war by Taiwan against china and China would likely use it as a justification for attack or invasion. There is a reason such flights, while legal being outside Taiwan’s airspace, are considered a bully/intimidation tactic.

When a country depends on a rogue superpower for its destiny, be prepared to be dumped at the last minute. The ulterior motive for lending a shoulder must not be overlooked and more so when the dependant country has used up its usefulness.
A rogue who doesn't use war even though it has been saying so for a long time? What happened if KMT wasn't chased out of China by CCP after ruling it for a while? They would have still owned China under the now DPP, right? Would the story have been different? To China, Taiwan is just a disobedient child. Although a Chinese father (in a righteous culture) had been known to kill his only son to uphold righteousness and integrity, there are stories of great restraints where the father gave scaled down versions of punishment to appease the wrath of an aggressor. US? It's the skeleton of an aggressor who can't feed its own citizens. In fact, China did make use of US in the fight for independence, crudely speaking. If Taiwan isn't foolish, it would know who is family. Taiwan should want face, and realized the way US has been playing a fool with it so many times. And then, learn from what Biden said when he vacated Afghanistan. (Who knows, Taiwan may even gang with China to fight a common enemy like they did to Japan). Be careful what you think. You need to understand Chinese culture and the Chinese mind. It is the same culture that creates the Sun Tzu's principle of War, Confucianism, and the esoteric Shaolin martial arts, etc Both Taiwan and China are majority Han Chinese, who shared the same 5000 years of history. And a culture that had great impact on other cultures like the Korean and the Japanese.
@@levelazn You know the rogue superpower right. The fading one of course, the one that spent trillions of their money for twenty years to invade a sovereign nation who's horse riding civilians were able to defeat a rogue superpower.
Tsai Ing-wen claimed that she has PhD degree from LSE, However, LSE confirmed that there is no records of anything under her name. She is a Liar., Poor Taiwan.
Direct quote from LSE itself: We can be clear the records of LSE and of the University of London - the degree awarding body at the time - confirm that Dr Tsai was correctly awarded a PhD in Law in 1984. All degrees from that period were awarded via the University of London and the thesis would have been sent first to their Senate House Library. The Senate House Library records confirm that a copy was received and sent by them to the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies (IALS). There is a listing of Dr Tsai’s thesis ‘Unfair trade practices and safeguard actions’ in the IALS index document “Legal Research in the United Kingdom 1905-1984”, which was published in 1985.

The Happiest Sad Birthday Let me tell you a true story that sends an important message to all of us. Halleli, a 4-year-old girl from Jerusalem with special needs, wanted to celebrate her birthday with her friends from kindergarten. Her loving parents arranged for everything: the place, the food and sweets, a clown to entertain the kids, and various fun activities that all the children enjoy doing. All her friends from kindergarten had promised they would come, and Halleli couldn't wait to celebrate with them. But in the end, only one girl showed up. The candy, the clown, and the games just stood there, untouched and unwanted. The next day, heartbroken, the girl refused to go to kindergarten. Her parents were beside themselves with sorrow and worry for their child and didn't know how to comfort her. In his distress, Halleli's father posted on social media what had happened, and matters took a sharp turn for the better. A man from the neighborhood read the post and was overcome with emotion. "I have kids too," he thought. "What if she were my daughter?" He felt he had to do something to give that girl an experience that would wash away her sadness. He decided to throw her the birthday party of her life. He combed the neighborhood and told everyone about Halleli and that he was organizing a birthday party for her and asked everyone to come. A few days later, Halleli had her party. This time, hundreds of children and their parents showed up to make the little girl happy on her special day. Her parents were overjoyed and grateful beyond words to the kind stranger, and as for Halleli, her face beamed brighter than the sun. This story doesn't only tell us about human kindness. It is a warning sign. It demonstrates how heartless, perhaps even cruel, we can be if we are not organized and galvanized into positive action. It also proves the immense potential that lies in establishing mutual responsibility in society. When people who don't know each other help each other because this is the value they live by, there is no end to what such a society can achieve. The Jewish people became a nation when complete strangers found the words of their teacher, Abraham, compelling enough to implement. His teachings about kindness and mercy as the key to solving society's problems struck a chord in the hearts of his listeners and they joined his group. This is why mutual responsibility and "love your neighbor as yourself" are the tenets of Judaism - social laws that relate not to God but to our fellow person. Today, when alienation permeates every corner of human society, we desperately need mutual responsibility and care for others. These are the only qualities, the only values that can keep human society from collapsing altogether. Just as Abraham had found that the remedy to his homeland's social ills were care for others, all of us must now realize that the cure for heartlessness has not changed since ancient times. The only difference is that alienation has now spread throughout the world. Humanity must do today what the ancient Hebrews did - unite across divisions and establish love of others where today there is nothing but hatred. Perhaps such moving stories as the one about Halleli's birthday will help us realize that mutual responsibility is not a noble but unrealistic notion, but an imperative step we must take to ensure our survival as a functioning society.

Taiwan's independence even if not recognized is actually a fact. It is ruled by its own elected leaders, elected by its own people and they make decisions for themselves.
It's a fact that the civil war never ended. It's also a fact that Chiang Kai Shek stole all the gold from mainland china's banks before retreating to Formosa island.
@@KevinTewksbury It stopped being a civil war when the two sides developed separate, independent national identities. If Taiwan returns the gold it took, China will acknowledge Taiwan's independence? I'm sure the Taiwanese would agree to that, since the value of that gold comes out to only about $5 billion in todays dollars, iirc. While we're discussing financial damages, will China be willing to pay for the cost of responding to its intrusions across the median line in recent years? And pay penalties for things like election interference and IP theft? Those sorts of costs undoubtedly dwarf the value of the gold the Taiwanese took.

Taiwan only became a limited democracy until after 1988. Before that it was an anti-communist dictatorship ruled over by the right-wing Chinese nationalist party. The current ruling party is liberal and said to be Taiwanese nationalist in opposition to the Chinese Nationalist Party (Kuomintang). However despite their Taiwanese rhetoric, the Democratic Progressive Party has not declared independence and still maintains the Republic of China as build by the Chinese nationalists since 1911.
The ruling party also maintains that the Republic of China has no need to declare independence as it predates the current mainland government and is therefore already independent. But let's be real, the people of Taiwan by and large don't actually believe in any serious claim to the mainland anyway.
Taiwan's democracy is a joke. The only value of Taiwan's democracy is to demonstrate lessons learned from democracy.

As long as the war does not go nuclear, we may be good or else say good bye to humanity
There is but one China in the world, Taiwan is part of China’s territory and the government of the People’s Republic of China is the sole legal government representing the whole of China. This is a consensus of the international community and a commitment made by the US to China. The one-China principle is unshakable, China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity cannot be violated and the red line of avoiding creating “two Chinas” and “one China, one DIEwan” must not be crossed.
China has full confidence and capability and are fully prepared to firmly stem the “DIEwan independence” separatist activities, foil all external interference and resolutely uphold its sovereignty and territorial integrity. I’d like to advise better listen to a well-known Chinese song with these lyrics: “For our friends, we have fine wine. For jackals or wolves, we welcome with shotguns.”
China is the world number 1 villian.
Cry Endian
This civil war of China has been lasted about 75 years since 1946 and still is not ended. Hope a peaceful solution can be found to end this war. Both sides of the Taiwan strait are territories of the same country. Leave people there to solve the problem themselves wisely.
Sovereignty comes from people's free expression of their universal natural right of self determination. Taiwan is a separate, independent sovereign country because the people of Taiwan say that Taiwan is a separate, independent sovereign country. As a result, an invasion by the PRC will be just that, an illegal, immoral invasion. It will not be a continuation of the long-expired civil war. Military support for Taiwan will be entirely justified.
Furthermore, countries that do not respect the universal natural right of self determination lose their right to be included in the global world order. Of particular note, that means that China's access to international maritime trade can be revoked. That will be awful for the people of China, because without access to international maritime trade, China can't keep the lights on or its people fed.
And with China in economic collapse and suffering mass famine, Taiwan will be able to stand on its own.

Is Taiwan a really country or part of China? In my country, Media always call Taiwan as a part of China like Hk or Macau. But to me, Taiwanese seem to be very independent country
oh, poor little corner
Functionally, for all intents and purposes, Taiwan (the Republic of China) has operated as an independent state and country for over 70 years. They have their own military, their own government, their own taxation system, their own passports and they don't answer to the government in Beijing. Their government predates the one on the mainland and the current mainland government has never ruled the island of Taiwan. While most countries don't officially recognize Taiwan as an independent country, so that they can access mainland China's markets, many still operate unofficial offices that act as embassies and consulates with Taiwan. Furthermore, Taiwan has been holding free and fair democratic elections as a multi-party democracy for nearly 30 years now, and is even the first East Asian state to legalize same-sex marriage. After 70 years of separation, it seems that Taiwan has drifted away and developed enough of an identity and society where you could view it as a southern Chinese republic, but not specifically a part of China. The mainland government pressures any country or corporation it deals with to adopt their language regarding Taiwan, or be blocked out of any deals with the Chinese market.

Iraq destroyed the status quo time and time again. Just looking from the 80's, Iraq (Saddam) invaded Iran and waged a horrifically bloody war for 8 years from 1980-88. Then they used WMDs against their own people (gassing the Kurds with VX, Sarin). Then in 1991 they invaded and took over Kuwait, and invaded a part of Saudi Arabia. The US and the coalition with us stopped them, executed a most technical and tactical defeat with only 4 days of ground war against the worlds 4th/5th largest army. It's important to remember how many experts in the west and east were claiming how badly the US was gonna fail, and it was gonna be a second Vietnam. They had the latest USSR export equipment, were using textbook USSR tactics, and were by far the most battle-experienced troops in the world at that point. But all the anti-west; anti-American naysayers were dead wrong.
After that there was 10 years of low-level conflicts, expensive no-fly zones, and conflicts with the UN weapons inspectors trying to verify they actually dismantled their indeginous chemical weapons program etc, etc.
2003 was done on faulty intelligence obtained from torture (but torture that is so far less than what any autocratic country does, there's no genuine comparison) and a desire and greed for secure access to its the lifeblood of civilization, oil, and was wrong given the justification. But only someone who is ignorant, ingenuine, or a supporter of a despot/dictator like Xi would pretend that Iraq was this innocent, rule of law abiding, democratic, moral country.

China has also stopped "Communications" with Australia. This does not appear top be assisting China's hegemonic ideal. Taiwan is hardening their resolve. Taiwan was prevented from building nuclear weapons by the USA, and therefore the USA should protect Taiwan.
let's go brandon,,, if you want US be hit by hypersonic missles with nuclear head... Reckless Pentagon will terminate the planet by entering this war. Iraq has no massive destructive weapons, China? you bet,
who do you think you are? US is not protecting anyone, just making profits out of it. If there is no profit, US penis would never take a look at it. Remember so many wars issued by US penis, Iraq war, Afghan war, how many innocent people were killed by US penis????
@@dahuya1 It is almost certain that surface ships will be obsolete in any war between China and Taiwan / allies. Surface to air missiles can track and destroy any surface ship very quickly. During the Dardanelles campaign in WWI, the German and Ottoman Navies mined the entire strait. The invasion fleet and landing was therefore unable to be supported by large naval vessels, and the landing was massacred with great loss of life. China's great miscalculation, that Western nations cower in fear every time Chinese military threaten them with a nuclear strike!

@comment sense it's one side's goal not the others. And if you agree they can be considered two countries with your side pursuing the goal of "unification", then stop blocking Taiwanese presenting themselves is the first friendly step to take, respecting the status quo that the two sides are two countries with two constitutions is the baby step to gain trust from TW and the world. No one would be willing to cooperate with you if you continuously belittle them or even disregard them. China can't speak at the position of strength and superiority when it is China that proposed to Taiwan to change their way of life.
@comment sense capitalization doesn't make your words more powerful. A truly powerful man isn't afraid of criticisms and don't get raged easily, let alone beat people up nor ask others to keep mouth shut. So is a country. Brute force isn't considered powerful, let alone when your real force is still questionable given all the shunned media
@comment sense it's so sad China has to rape Taiwan to show its strength and create the illusion of being more powerful. Sad it isn't superior in any aspects but can only show muscles to its neighbor countries.
When girls say no it's no. When Taiwanese say f**k off, we mean it literally.
As far as policy changes, I think getting rid of the UN permanent VETO power would remove a lot more chances of invasions, proxy conflicts, and arms races, and would improve equal sovereignty between nations.
And then maybe like a 75% winning vote from Taiwanese people if they wanted to be independent or part of China, and an agreement from all sides to keep toting this line until that number is reached.
That VETO power comes from winning the Second World War by bearing tens of millions causalities of Chinese people from fighting Japan fascist invasion. You should be able to evaluate what it takes if you want to remove it.
I support Taiwan people to build and to run a democratic country, but they have to find a place outside China territory.

I can't say the same for some of the people's of the other nations of the council, allegedly. Who many might not be able to view this video or read this thread, let alone post on it, allegedly. We as the US should mirror greater aspects of our republic by proposing to reform the UN by removing the semi autocratic permanent veto power into a more democratic policy. "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance." "It's great to have a Republic, if you can keep it." -Benjamin Franklin. As a way to confer good power, internationally we should create models for fully reusable easy to clean pressurized food and drink receptacles including the lids available for commercial use. As much of current commercial receptacles/lids are meant for recycling, and recycling is the last of the 4rs. It goes: reduce, reuse, repurpose, recycle. I like much of what the US stands for. I strive to lead by example to help create a stronger, healthier, resilient, just, fair, free, safe and thrifty economy and country. I also strive to help create a much larger and sustainable carrying capacity for others to more readily immigrate to my country. It's OK to on occasion have a cry for the fallen and struggling, and to peacefully keep working to make the world a better place for the now and the future in whichever county one chooses.
The Taiwan problem is not simply a super power rivalry rather it involves basic fundamental human rights of existence, of freedom and of liberty which communism has no place in both legal and moral standing.

There's a predicament...but I still find it obvious that this a domestic issue, US should approach this with caution, the silver lining is that this will prompt US to search ways to be less dependent on foreign products, China in the other hand should look for a diplomatic solutions and use confrontation as last resort, as we all know, this wouldn't be a proxi war but direct war between these western and Eastern titans respectively
There is but one China in the world, Taiwan is part of China’s territory and the government of the People’s Republic of China is the sole legal government representing the whole of China. This is a consensus of the international community and a commitment made by the US to China. The one-China principle is unshakable, China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity cannot be violated and the red line of avoiding creating “two Chinas” and “one China, one DIEwan” must not be crossed.
China has full confidence and capability and are fully prepared to firmly stem the “DIEwan independence” separatist activities, foil all external interference and resolutely uphold its sovereignty and territorial integrity. I’d like to advise better listen to a well-known Chinese song with these lyrics: “For our friends, we have fine wine. For jackals or wolves, we welcome with shotguns.”

I am all for nations (Taiwan) having an "Air defense ID Zone", as most nations should. I find it odd that a sizeable part of that zone is over a chunk of China's actual land along the coastline. I would think that would cause a lot more friction than necessary.
The range of an Air defense ID Zone is based on the hardware that is supplying it. The US has one as well. Taiwan being so close to China means that a quality radar system will almost certainly reach and go beyond the Chinese coastline. It’s not a big deal, what matters more is how it is used. The area to be more concerned about is the area that is about 23 km off the coast of Taiwan. Any closer than that is considered Taiwan’s exclusive airspace and they could shoot down a perceived threat if they so choose. In a lot of ways you could say that China is trying to both intimidate as well as to instigate a shot being fired at themselves while being outside of this zone. Such a shot would be an act of war by Taiwan against china and China would likely use it as a justification for attack or invasion. There is a reason such flights, while legal being outside Taiwan’s airspace, are considered a bully/intimidation tactic.
🇹🇼 Taiwan is a free, democratic, and prosperous nation of 23,000,000 people and an important contributor to peace and stability around the world.

Rogue super power hmmm 🧐 Which Country is rogue
A rogue who doesn't use war even though it has been saying so for a long time? What happened if KMT wasn't chased out of China by CCP after ruling it for a while? They would have still owned China under the now DPP, right? Would the story have been different?
To China, Taiwan is just a disobedient child. Although a Chinese father (in a righteous culture) had been known to kill his only son to uphold righteousness and integrity, there are stories of great restraints where the father gave scaled down versions of punishment to appease the wrath of an aggressor.
US? It's the skeleton of an aggressor who can't feed its own citizens. In fact, China did make use of US in the fight for independence, crudely speaking.
If Taiwan isn't foolish, it would know who is family. Taiwan should want face, and realized the way US has been playing a fool with it so many times. And then, learn from what Biden said when he vacated Afghanistan.
(Who knows, Taiwan may even gang with China to fight a common enemy like they did to Japan).
Be careful what you think. You need to understand Chinese culture and the Chinese mind. It is the same culture that creates the Sun Tzu's principle of War, Confucianism, and the esoteric Shaolin martial arts, etc
Both Taiwan and China are majority Han Chinese, who shared the same 5000 years of history.
And a culture that had great impact on other cultures like the Korean and the Japanese.

All degrees from that period were awarded via the University of London and the thesis would have been sent first to their Senate House Library.
The Senate House Library records confirm that a copy was received and sent by them to the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies (IALS).

The Happiest Sad Birthday
Let me tell you a true story that sends an important message to all of us. Halleli, a 4-year-old girl from Jerusalem with special needs, wanted to celebrate her birthday with her friends from kindergarten. Her loving parents arranged for everything: the place, the food and sweets, a clown to entertain the kids, and various fun activities that all the children enjoy doing. All her friends from kindergarten had promised they would come, and Halleli couldn't wait to celebrate with them. But in the end, only one girl showed up. The candy, the clown, and the games just stood there, untouched and unwanted.
The next day, heartbroken, the girl refused to go to kindergarten. Her parents were beside themselves with sorrow and worry for their child and didn't know how to comfort her. In his distress, Halleli's father posted on social media what had happened, and matters took a sharp turn for the better.
A man from the neighborhood read the post and was overcome with emotion. "I have kids too," he thought. "What if she were my daughter?" He felt he had to do something to give that girl an experience that would wash away her sadness. He decided to throw her the birthday party of her life.
He combed the neighborhood and told everyone about Halleli and that he was organizing a birthday party for her and asked everyone to come. A few days later, Halleli had her party. This time, hundreds of children and their parents showed up to make the little girl happy on her special day. Her parents were overjoyed and grateful beyond words to the kind stranger, and as for Halleli, her face beamed brighter than the sun.
This story doesn't only tell us about human kindness. It is a warning sign. It demonstrates how heartless, perhaps even cruel, we can be if we are not organized and galvanized into positive action. It also proves the immense potential that lies in establishing mutual responsibility in society. When people who don't know each other help each other because this is the value they live by, there is no end to what such a society can achieve.
The Jewish people became a nation when complete strangers found the words of their teacher, Abraham, compelling enough to implement. His teachings about kindness and mercy as the key to solving society's problems struck a chord in the hearts of his listeners and they joined his group. This is why mutual responsibility and "love your neighbor as yourself" are the tenets of Judaism - social laws that relate not to God but to our fellow person.
Today, when alienation permeates every corner of human society, we desperately need mutual responsibility and care for others. These are the only qualities, the only values that can keep human society from collapsing altogether. Just as Abraham had found that the remedy to his homeland's social ills were care for others, all of us must now realize that the cure for heartlessness has not changed since ancient times. The only difference is that alienation has now spread throughout the world.
Humanity must do today what the ancient Hebrews did - unite across divisions and establish love of others where today there is nothing but hatred. Perhaps such moving stories as the one about Halleli's birthday will help us realize that mutual responsibility is not a noble but unrealistic notion, but an imperative step we must take to ensure our survival as a functioning society.
I just give you a thumbs up because you went to so much effort.
I was once naive like you, believing in human right and shxt. But politics is dirty, no matter where it is. It's all about who gets what. and for ordinary people like you, me, her and him? we're not included in the "who" mentioned above.

Taiwan's independence even if not recognized is actually a fact. It is ruled by its own elected leaders, elected by its own people and they make decisions for themselves.
It's a fact that the civil war never ended. It's also a fact that Chiang Kai Shek stole all the gold from mainland china's banks before retreating to Formosa island.
@@KevinTewksbury It stopped being a civil war when the two sides developed separate, independent national identities.
If Taiwan returns the gold it took, China will acknowledge Taiwan's independence? I'm sure the Taiwanese would agree to that, since the value of that gold comes out to only about $5 billion in todays dollars, iirc. While we're discussing financial damages, will China be willing to pay for the cost of responding to its intrusions across the median line in recent years? And pay penalties for things like election interference and IP theft? Those sorts of costs undoubtedly dwarf the value of the gold the Taiwanese took.
