@thefucker ryan most countries don't even reconize Taiwan as a country.................but they can go to any country with the ROC passport beside PRC if this is not legitment ,why they can go anywhere with the ROC passport
One very important point was failed to be mentioned. At the end of WWII, Taiwan was handed back to China as part of the post war agreement. Therefore, ROC had actually ruled the complete China (Mainland+Taiwan) between 1945-1949.
@@CountrysideFreeCloudYes, Taiwan was returned to China when there was one government but the problem is now there are two governments in this country.
@@JenghanHsieh Yes, there was only one legal government then. That’s why I say the unfinished civil war created two governments, both of the two claim whole China.
My grandfather fleed Mainland China to the Philippines becoz of the rising power of the communist regime. He started a new life here and passed away in the 80's. now im a 3rd generation of Chinese immigrants in the Philippines.
You're not Taiwanese, I seen you elsewhere typing in Simplified Chinese spreading communist propogranda, and you kept using terms that are rarely seen in Taiwanese Madarin. I bet you don't know any Hokkien or Hakka either
Jun Chen I am a CSU student（Also, I am Japanese） I'm sure you don't even know that HOKKIEN and HAKKA are both one of the common dialects of South China (Fujian). And HOKKIEN and HAKKA are both from the mainland.

I am a Chinese in ethnic but Taiwanese in nationality. There are millions of Chinese all over the world like Singapore, Malaysia, Laos, etc... I hope when they say they are Chinese you don't think they are from mainland right??? Can you differiate between the two????
@@stopwarstop7334 why do you have to have them differentiated? From Morocco to Iraq, Arabs live in dozens of different counties using different dialects.

Would the half part of the sentence really be so difficult or so long that makes you impossible to say it ?
@@ActuGentSH What??? 😂😂😂😂 Do you know it's very rude in western to ask people their ethnic?? When you ask a black where are you from? Will they say I am from Africa???? They say they are Americans. So Taiwan say we are Taiwanese means they are from Taiwan. What is so hard to say about that??? Common sense. Only people in China is confused about their own identity because they are feeling lonely nobody wants to identify with them. 😂😂😂
Kong Wee Peh also I’m serious telling you that they have been threatened us if we change our constitution (from the video if we dare trying to be independent) they r going to attack ? R u ok?
Experts say the likely hood of China attacking Taiwan is low because of a 160 kilometres of water and 180,000 active Taiwanese soldiers. The experts can't be serious 😂
Yes, historically speaking, the mainland forces has always succesfully breached and defeat the island forces. Back from Koxinga war against the Dutch and Qing Empire war against Tungning. 160 km is not really considered far for naval landing operation.
great video,the perspective is neutrul enough,which is really rare on the youtube.even there are several small mistakes such as the map of the ROC after 1912,but in general ,good job!
Saying someone who has an opposite opinion lack of being educated doesn’t make your point any better than his/hers. As a Taiwanese, I do recognize myself as a Chinese descendant, and I give all of my respect to people who see themselves entirely as Taiwanese. That’s the choice they make, and that’s something I cannot change in any form of way.
I'm Chinese from the mainland, I totally understand the political demands of people in Taiwan, that is, to be independent. But what I don't understand is that you are trying to achieve this without realizing and respecting the historical facts. I mean, Taiwan is officially a province of the Republic of China, and the People's Republic of China won the civil war and took the seat of the ROC in the UN, which means, most countries in the world recognize that PRC is the only legal government of China. If you seek to be independent, you can't just ignore the basic facts that actually happened in history and just shout "Taiwan is not a part of China!" (because it is, according to the consensus reached by several major victors of world war II, China will take back Taiwan island from Japan). So this is actually a historical problem left here after the uncompleted Chinese civil war. Before you claim that Taiwan is not a part of China, at first, you should at least change the title of ROC to something else other than anything that contains "China". It's just funny to me that you guys want to be independent so much and are not on the right way to do it. Let's be clear, you should come up with a practical plan, achieve independent eventually by removing the word "China" from your country's title officially; working hard to build a good army in case that PLA will "invade" Taiwan after you announce independent formally, but definitely not by insulting Chinese people. you get nothing by insulting people of the same ethnic group but only our anger. It is dangerous that many Chinese people start to realize that they are being insulted by people in Taiwan for no reason and many of them are terribly angry about this. the western world always criticizes that people don't have democracy in China, but if we have it on this, I can only speak from my own experience, most young people around me would vote to start a war to solve this problem, I don't think it's a good thing for you guys. and of course, it's not a good thing for us, too. war is scary. so let's respect each other, you have your political views and I have mine. but respect the basic facts and don't be ignorant. Let's see how this goes.
Because the historical facts are all lies of the communist that is why. Why did Taiwan have to give up the seat in UN because China came in crying as the big baby to be the only China in UN. That is why there are North Korea and South Korea in UN but not ROC and PRC. So use some brain instead of believing the communist lies. UN doesn't decide which territory is a country or not a country okay. UN only keep peace by democratic votes. Second, Taiwan is part of China but not a part of PRC. According to are constitution by Dr. Sun Yat Sen, Republic of China is China not your fake PRC. When Japan returned Taiwan in 1945, your PRC wasn't even established yet, so how can Taiwan be PRC's land you stupid??? Use some logic here !!!!!!
Despite historical facts, most people living in Taiwan just don't want to be ruled by Chinese Communist Party. Your government totally loses our trust by what it has done to its people. It is not we who cast "peace" away, but you.
A minor mistake in the map. From 1895 to 1945, Taiwan was occupied by Japan. It returned to ROC after WWII. So in the map (1945-1949), Taiwan and mainland China belong to one country.
Wrong, Taiwan was originally founded by the indigenous people (ethnic Lao people) over thousands of years ago not the Qing dynasty (Manchurian people) or the ROC or the PRC or the overseas Chinese hence they only migrated to Taiwan during the dutch occupation of the Taiwan in 1945 it's became part of the ROC territory.
@@oneviwatara9384 ‘Free’ is a strange word to describe the colonisation of Korea by Japan. Japan is a country that both North and South Korea dislike for history reasons.

ROC is already part of history. it's this simple. ROC is dead. PRC will take it over. Taiwan is now controlled by a group of lawless. when it was the right time, a group of police will save you guys out. wait and see, kid. Time will tell.
Call Taiwan a country, call it a disobedient province of china... who cares how its described or regarded, as long as the ROC government there continues to rule, Taiwan stays as it is with all the freedoms they enjoy, just look how the mainland is screwing up Hong Kong... they said they would let it be and not impose any thing for 50 years... couldnt control themselves and its being over run with mainlanders, the culture and language is going... its being assimilated just like the Tibetans, Uighers and anyone else who is different...
@@张明-x5p well, not exactly. Wasn't there a big deal arms sale to Taiwan that ruffled the CCP's feathers? The USA may 'say' it is, to appease the CCP, but don't be stupid; they don't actually respect that, they just say so to shut the CCP up.
Legal status of Taiwan? 1 The first political presence on Taiwan was the State of Wu in 230 AD 2 Koxinga established the first Han Chinese rule on February 1, 1662 3 Qing Dynasty ruled Taiwan from October 8, 1683 4 Qing Dynasty established the province of Taiwan on October 12, 1885 5 Full control over entire island first achieved by Imperial Japan, which they handed over to the Republic of China on October 25, 1945.
As a Taiwanese, I have to say that people who reside in Taiwan don't think they are Chinese. Most of us are just ethnic Chinese, and some of them are the aboriginals who don't have Chinese bloodlines.
Taiwan’s official name is Republic of China, ROC aka China. But now the most countries in the world, including the states, only admitted that PROC as China. As a result, they only call ROC “Taiwan”, which is just a name of a island. But actually ROC was founded in 1911 which was a lot earlier than PROC. As we can’t use ROC in the world, this became a big problem. This is one major reason why the young generation of Taiwanese think that they are not also Chinese. On the other hand, we who claim that we are Taiwanese and also Chinese can’t say that we are Chinese or from China when we introduce us to others, because people will misunderstand that you are from mainland, PROC
PKU阿德 - See Articles 23 and 110 of the UN Charter. The seat of China is still the property of the ROC but its used by the PRC at the moment since 1971.
@@Jackhjj6 The relationship with Americans and British is different. The descendants of pure British Americans account for only 10%, and there are also black, Latin, and yellow races. But at least 95% of the 台湾 population are descendants of the mainland, with the remaining 5% being descendants of indigenous peoples and foreigners.
ps. 台灣的歸屬: 國土間不存再從屬性，應從管理國土的國家政體來檢視國土的歸屬；1945年二次世界大戰日本投降時，將台灣歸還給中華民國政府(非中華人民共和國政府)，那時的中國是中華民國，中華人民共和國是在1949年擊敗國軍後才成立的偽政權(違背國父孫文的民主思想、三民主義，將"馬克思列寧主義"、"共產主義"帶進中國!)。 所以台灣本來就是歸還給中華民國，為中華民國固有之疆域，不屬於共產黨，也不屬於大陸。
Thanks for making this film, but there's one thing I'd like to remind you that China, the PRC government never controlled Taiwan, so it is not BACK under its control.
"After Japan’s surrender in World War II in 1945, Taiwan was returned to the control of the Chinese government, then led by Chiang Kai-shek and his Nationalist Party." Taiwan has returned to China since 1945, 4 years after its return, ROC relocated to Taiwan. Even in the current ROC constitution, Taiwan and mainland China are both part of China.
Taiwan is China, meaning whoever is the legitimate government of China has the right to govern China AS A WHOLE. Now its the PRC whether we like it or not. Taiwan should have been siezed before the civil war ended but the United States interfered in China's affairs making things complicated till now. Yes Taiwan is not under the PRC and never has been but it was, is and will always be China.
@@samwong5306 Yea yea, Native Americans are legitimate to rule America, Greeks are rightful owners of Anatolia stuff and stuff. Forget about these. Even America and other big countries do not acknowledge that Taiwan is an independent country. As I can see power gives the rights, PRC is a head in front of ROC about this. At the moment western media is stronger, that's why everybody is supporting ROC. But when the PRC times officially come, you will see that everyone will be saying opposite. Welcome to real world. Power rules, not legitimate rights or stuff.
As a Taiwanese and Chinese. The truth is although both the Taiwan and mainland belong to China, they are ruled by their respective regimes(ROC、 PRC), one country two regimes. The constitutional territories of the two regimes overlap each other.
As far as I know, Sun Yat-sen is a Chinese.What he did was to liberate the Chinese nation, not to split China.Your view of history is particularly questionable. you Need to study hard, I suggest you not to learn Taiwan's textbooks, but to learn from mainland textbooks, let you see what is the love of their motherland, what is to be loyal to your people, what is to Respect one's own nation and descent.
You also failed to mention that in the 1990s people in Taiwan still thought they are Chinese. It was the democracy and freedom of speech that keep Taiwan's common people from deep debating. Instead, they were simply taught to be OK to think everything. Any attempt of objection and debate will be responded by labeling and accusing of violation of democracy. Any expression which shows Taiwan people's Chinese idendity would be labeled as "not loving Taiwan". This intimitated the silent majority. No one was talking about why the two sides of the strait is one country and people only recieve one voice of independence.
Taiwanese people will always be supported by India. We are brothers and we have one enemy in common, People's Republic of China, or the Communist China.
this vid has only partly shown the historical heritage of the legal govt of China since 1912, but what about the time before that? What happens in the 1860s? It’s all misleading, the island of Taiwan was under the chinese’ rule since At least the Ming dynasty from what I learnt.
I'm not sure what you learned but Japan is the first government which ruled the entire island of Taiwan. All the governments before that only controlled part of Taiwan.
China's first rule of Taiwan was during Qing Dynasty. Before that, the Netherlands, Spain and Tungning subsequently ruled Taiwan. And before modern states came to Taiwan, there were Aboriginal tribes.
As a Taiwanese I would say, Taiwan has NEVER been governed by the CCP, and that is a fact. Taiwan has once been controlled by the Qung dynasty, but after it collapsed the Nationalism party take over China. Soon after as the video has explained the CCP won and nationalist party came to Taiwan. Therefore, how come ppl keep saying Taiwan is part of China ? It has been governed a long time ago but never under control by the CCP, For me China = CCP. Fortunately Taiwan now is a independent country that has the rights to participate in elections and decide for our future, which is very different from what ppl can do in China. Taiwan is Taiwan. Please don’t exclude us. 🇹🇼🇹🇼

One small correction, at 1:18, the map showing regions of the communist party is not correct. At that time Tebet is still under the control of KMT. Other regions may also be incorrect.
Tibet actually was not under the Communist Partie's control for a long time even after 1949. And the KMT government first fled towards the southern China, then towards Taiwan island.
a stupid video hide the truth. It stated throw back to qing dynasty, but it intentionally didnt state taiwan is under qing dynasty that time. after revolution, taiwan is until ROC. and next only Chiang retreated to taiwan. so basically from the history, in fact taiwan is under china, taiwan is a part of island of china. taiwan will fall into the same situation just like catalonia if they declare any "independent". Conclusively, @TRTWorld the video u made with incompleted information and truth, u r a true transparent democracy channel, but end up u are being stereotypes, u r so shame to be a unprofessional media, shame to report the fake news!
so you're basically avoiding democracy? most of the people during the civil war supported the ccp which result in pushing the ROC away and went into hiding at the island now called Taiwan.
Two Germanys (Germany, Austria) Two Romanias (Romania, Moldova) Two Chinas (China, Taiwan) Two Koreas (ROK, DPRK) Two Bulgarias (Bulgaria, North Macedonia) Two Albanias (Albania, Kosovo) Two Congos (ROC, DROC)
Correct. There is one more thing I would like to share with the world is the way we write(I'm from Taiwan), which is the difference of Traditional Chinese and simplified Chinese. PRC developed simplified Chinese in order to popularize the literacy rate. Taiwan has inherit the original Chisese characters (also does Hong Kong)which was used over thousand years. China and Taiwan do share same history and culture, but their government has put "Chinese" in shame because of their evil acts. Corona virus is just one of them, there are too much to list. I said PRC put Chinese in shame because we Taiwanese are also "Chinese" in cultural way. Also because Taiwan has officially named Republic of China, people hardly can tell the difference of Taiwan and China. We can understand, but this really bothers. Thanks for making the video so the world can understand we two countries better. Cheers

如果中國真這麼好，為什麼到處都有人為了脫離中國而努力抗爭？中共政府應該認清這點。 美國是個強大的國家，每年成千上萬人都為了領綠卡而擠破頭，這跟中共非常不一樣。 台灣本來就是一個獨立的國家，毫無疑問。 If China is such good as they claim, why there are bunches of people striving for "NOT" being Chinese? PRC government should think about this. The U.S. is a powerful country. Thousands of people want to become an american and try their best to be. This is very different from the country governing 1.35 billion people. Taiwan is, with no doubt, an independent country.
If you ever come to Taiwan and ask Taiwanese 95% people recognized them self are Taiwanese ,not Chinese ,I am Australian and living in Taiwan currently. Support Taiwan =support freedom
Nosenseif you are right ,the official name of Taiwan should be " Republic of Taiwan (ROT)" but not "Republic of China (ROC)".“95%” is just your delusion.
It is an undeniable fact that Taiwan has never been part of People's Republic of China (PRC, currently ruled by the communist party). Freedom and democracy are both what we Taiwanese people hold as core values deep in our minds. TAIWAN desperately needs supports from the whole world! Thanks. : )
After having watched an Irish guy's video about it for 10 mins with lots of unnecessary details, this one has felt it's precise and on-point. Keep up the good journalism TRT! My support is yours from Ankara.
I am Taiwanese. I should stand out to say that there are several mistakes in the video. First, just like the history shown in the video, Taiwan has never been a part of people’s republic of China. Taiwan is taken by Republic of China after the Chinese civil war. Second, the action that people’s republic of China takes over Taiwan will be an INVASION, not reunification since Taiwan has never been a part of people’s republic of China. Third, Taiwanese now don’t claim to take over people’s republic of China anymore. Almost all of Taiwanese regard the action of going to China as “going abroad”.
Stop arguing folks, can we agree we are all the great Han? Regardless of politics and countries, China is only a term to constrain our boundaries. The Han should be glorified.
China is a civilization state and the question of being a Chinese or not is often misunderstood. In English, the question essentially equates to "do you identify with the mainland regime?" and you can't reasonably expect the Taiwanese to nod yes (to push to an extreme, the west can also ask whether Koreans identify with the DPRK and be happily assured that they don't). Calm down, it's a wrong question to ask because you are qualifying the concept of China (resp. Korea) to one particular gov in a particular time of history. But really in the last 2000 years or so, there were hundreds of regimes established by emperors, warlords, and yes invaders (Yuan and Qing to name a few) on the land now known as China. That's why China is better characterized as a civilization stripped of political parties. This civilization is so strong that most of those who invaded and ruled China at one time in history merely embraced it and become a member of it as did the Mongols and the Man people. I conjecture that if Japan did occupied all of China after WWII like Genghis Khan did in the 1200s, then, after a hundred years maybe, the Chinese border will extend to include the Japanese islands. No joke, Khan killed Han Chinese in millions, but his lands got integrated into China in the long run. Now, this talk of civilization is put aside because of a discontent towards Authoritarianism (frankly, the mainlanders are not very pleased about it too). But the civilization continues. Do the Taiwanese celebrate Chinese New Year? Are they proud of their language? Their cultural heritage? Yes, yes, and yes. Had China adopted democracy, the Taiwanese would surely identify as Chinese (both culturally and politically). Maybe Korean and Vietnamese schools will start teaching Chinese characters again like they did before, who knows? So, stop kidnapping a civilization in the name of politics.
WW2 was a different story. Japan treated China as a backward civilization, determined to Japanize China, this eventually pushed modern Chinese nationalism to develop and mature, and defeated Japan. Japanese culture was influenced deeply by 800-year Samurai ruling, its core is quite different from China or Korea's Confucian culture.
@@elnorton7113 Yeah pretty much... but not quite as well. Used to be CCP against KMT under the country of ROC - This did fit the term of civil war. However, due to CCP declared PRC establishment back in 1949 before conquering the island of Taiwan and defeating ROC entirely. What they did was basically declaring to the world that they took the mainland from ROC and created the country of PRC themselves, and the problem of two Chinas actually was a result & claim produced by CCP themselves. (You know what they say about lying enough to people and the lie becomes the truth.)
🇹🇼👍Taiwan was where the American baicked govt in 1949 exile fled to. Since that day, the US has recognized Taiwan🇹🇼 as an independent entity from China. 🇹🇼Taiwan is a free and sovereign nation, has a right to form any govt it deems fit.

My ancestors lived in Taiwan for 300 years, and had nothing to do with China until the KMT came to Taiwan. As for the CCP, Taiwan has never had anything to do with him.

We Japanese once colonized Taiwan. But Taiwan is what we have taken from China. Taiwan is not an independent country in history.

How can you show disputed territories and territories forcibly won by China in your ROC map of 1912? Your map includes Tibet which was forcefully acquired by China in 1950
China and Taiwan is one country after ww2. Taiwan belongs to China. Easy way to look at it is China is in a civil war after 1915, and in 1928 KMT united the country in name, but the communist still controls some parts of China , and KMT tried to get rid of Communist and is successful in pushing them out. Then in 1936 one of the general decided to take matters in his own hands and force Chiang to stop fighting the communist and focus on the Japanese. He did that because he lost the 3 huge state without fighting and he regretted because he cannot be a warlord anymore. Then after the war, the communist with the help of USSR defeated KMT in the mainland and lost a battle at kinmen. Then the USA decided to help after Korea war started. This is how ROC is still around. The reason for no two China is both thinks they ruled all of china
TAIWAN IS DIFFERENT FROM china👎👎.... TAIWANESE IS A DEMOCRATIC AND REPUBLIC COUNTRY AND BEAUTIFUL STATE FULL OF FREEDOM AND LIBERTY LIKE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 👍👍...
Taiwan was regarded as a territory by the Republic of China in 1954. In 1954, the Republic of China at that time had China's five permanent seats in the United Nations, that is, orthodox China. From 1954 to 1971, Taiwan was part of the orthodox Chinese territory. However, after 1971, the Republic of China withdrew from the United Nations and no longer held the title of orthodox China. By definition, the Republic of China degenerated from orthodox China into a Chinese rebel organization. With the democratization in the 1990s, Taiwanese took control of this organization through elections, and transformed the Republic of China from a rebel organization in China into a country built by more than 20 million people. This country is called the Republic of China, Taiwan. In the future, this may change the country's name from the Republic of China, Taiwan, to the Republic of Taiwan. However, to the People's Republic of China, Taiwan under the Republic of China 's rule is like the property of its father, and the Republic of China in Taiwan is like the illegitimate son of the Republic of China in Taiwan, competing with the People's Republic of China for the property of Taiwan. However, Taiwan, the Republic of China, is not recognized as a country by the international community, so it will certainly suffer a loss in the fight for its inheritance. Even in the future, the Republic of Taiwan will have difficulties in claiming to inherit the Republic of China Taiwan, which is not recognized as a country. If the Republic of Taiwan is independent from the People's Republic of China rather than the Republic of China Taiwan, it must first recognize that Taiwan is part of the People's Republic of China. But doesn't this mean unification? If the Republic of Taiwan is independent from the Republic of China Taiwan, because the Republic of China Taiwan are A country transformed from the Republic of China, a Chinese rebel organization, is not recognized as a country and will encounter the same dilemma as independence from the People's Republic of China. Therefore, the Republic of China Taiwan do not want to be reunified, but they cannot become independent and can only maintain the status quo.
I always wondered what the deal was between China and Taiwan. This video helped but but not fully. But the main thing is China believes Taiwan is part of China and Taiwan disagrees is that pretty much it?
That's what the west like to say as they have an eye on re-colonizing HK. Violent protests organized by the west and surrounding China with 400 military bases won't work either.
People let me explain my thoughts. As a Taiwanese myself, I think most Taiwanese have 2 reasons not to call themselves Chinese. First reason which most communist Chinese love to say is that those people want to create an independent country separate from historical "China." Those people are only a fraction of the population. Second reason which most "Taiwanese," meaning the civilian of Republic of China, is that they want to distinguish from people's republic of china, meaning communist China. They don't want the foreigners mistakenly believe that they are from communist China, since, believe me and sorry to say, most people are ignorant about this part of history, hence the reason why we have this video. That is because Republic of China and the people's republic of china are fundamentally different from each other despite similar names. One like the US and the other one like the USSR. In my humble opinion, BOTH sides should call themselves Chinese, just in different government rule. In addition, "Taiwan" is always an independent country, its official name is Republic of China. As whether other countries recognize Republic of China is a country or not is not in our control, but we do accept Republic of China is a country as a fact. I do not dislike the Chinese being rule by the communist China, only the individuals that do stupid things and the, more political correct term, Stalinism party in China. Fun HISTORICAL Fact. Mao himself creates the Chinese Soviet Republic in the first people, which separate the historical China in to 2 countries in 1931-37. So, please communist China don't use our name and just put people in front of it, you should change it into Chinese Soviet Republic to be more correct of what you were. Plus, the long escape chasing down by the KMT now the communist called it the "Long March," because they were shame to admit it, was happening at this time too.
Finally someone with some sense. Feels a bit offensive when they stupidly say I'm Taiwanese, not Chinese. Morons also. To those retards. 想问其实你们是台湾人还是华人？你们不会看外国想分裂我们吗？ 那些讲自己是台湾人真的是笨的不得了。

The so-called Taiwan Relations Act is but a fomestic law of the US regime, which is not any international law. In fact, the design of that US domestic law is but a facade for the arms dealers and the neocons in the US regime to hide behind when making tons of money by selling useless junk to Taiwan while using Taiwan as one of its paens, as it does with Vietnam, South Korea, the Phollipines, and Japan, to encircle China. Like during 1950s to 1960s, the US provided weapons, trained militias and then air dropped thrm yo Tibet, to attempt military operations against the People's Repunluc of China. The operation failed. And the CIA agents in that operation told that the US was not intended to help the Tibetans establish their separate state, nut just to cause nuisance yo China by containing China's devrlopment with such distraction via military actions. The whole thing has.been declassifief and the BBC even made a documentary of it, called Operation Shadow Circus.

Chiang Kai-shek (蔣介石 Jiǎngjièshí) made a stupid mistake when he claimed tiny Taiwan was "the real China". It forced a choice of what is China and cost Taiwan a seat in the United Nations. That does nothing to support the communist claim that Taiwan is a mainland province. It was "declared" so by the Qing emperor in 1887, but Qing rule was sparse and did not effectively convert the Taiwanese to the emperor's way of thinking. Just as the Nazis had to give up on the idea of owning Poland, so must the People's republic of China give up thinking they own Taiwan.
@@lancebaker1374 lol， no he did not claim tiny taiwan as the real China. What he claimed is the communist is not the legitimate government and mainland China should be under the rule of ROC, including Taiwan. His government has a seat in UN as one of the 5 powers until 1971. Until his death he still wants to take back mainland China, that is why on his deathbed he said not to bury him until ROC is back in China.
Taiwan is a country. That's lots of person who have no courage to admit So as a part of Taiwan I'm proud and want to say If u don't respect nationality in the "small island" who have their own legislative and culture U are not a country U have no worthy of being called a "country"

I'm Chinese from the mainland, I totally understand the political demands of people in Taiwan, that is, to be independent. But what I don't understand is that you are trying to achieve this without realizing and respecting the historical facts. I mean, Taiwan is officially a province of the Republic of China, and the People's Republic of China won the civil war and took the seat of the ROC in the UN, which means, most countries in the world recognize that PRC is the only legal government of China. If you seek to be independent, you can't just ignore the basic facts that actually happened in history and just shout "Taiwan is not a part of China!" (because it is, according to the consensus reached by several major victors of world war II, China will take back Taiwan island from Japan). So this is actually a historical problem left here after the uncompleted Chinese civil war. Before you claim that Taiwan is not a part of China, at first, you should at least change the title of ROC to something else other than anything that contains "China". It's just funny to me that you guys want to be independent so much and are not on the right way to do it. Let's be clear, you should come up with a practical plan, achieve independent eventually by removing the word "China" from your country's title officially; working hard to build a good army in case that PLA will "invade" Taiwan after you announce independent formally, but definitely not by insulting Chinese people. you get nothing by insulting people of the same ethnic group but only our anger. It is dangerous that many Chinese people start to realize that they are being insulted by people in Taiwan for no reason and many of them are terribly angry about this. the western world always criticizes that people don't have democracy in China, but if we have it on this, I can only speak from my own experience, most young people around me would vote to start a war to solve this problem, I don't think it's a good thing for you guys. and of course, it's not a good thing for us, too. war is scary. so let's respect each other, you have your political views and I have mine. but respect the basic facts and don't be ignorant. Let's see how this goes.
兄弟你跟我想的一样，他们基本上不尊重历史事实。其实我也觉得无所谓，如果台湾想要独立，那愿不愿意赔偿我们战争赔款？愿不愿意把黄金及利息还回来？愿不愿意把故宫里的文物还回来？愿不愿意把金门和连江还回来？
@@WBY19920617 你好，你讨论的这些其实都是法理问题，是建立在中华民国已经被中华人民共和国所取代的基础上，而共和国愿意放弃对原属于中华民国的台湾的主权声索。两岸谈判和平分家达成台湾独立，但是我个人觉得可能性极低。首先，在对岸独派普遍不愿意尊重历史事实的情况下，他们不太会放弃自己的利益，而将原中华民国在内战中取得的利益拱手还给共和国；其次，中华人民共和国不会进行这种谈判，因为这关系到中共执政合法性的问题，不论从中国人的几千年传统的统一情节出发，还是在现代国际框架中来看，这都是中国人利益的极大损失，再现实一点，中国的大多数民意无法容忍再次失去一片在二战中付出巨大代价才从日本收回的领土，失去台湾，中共凉凉。总之，台湾想要独立只能通过战争，如果解放军兵败台湾，到时候中国人无话可说，拿台湾没办法。当然台湾真正通过军事手段独立后，中国政府会面临什么样的民意压力，不可想象。不过我本人认为解放军不太会输掉，坐拥广阔的后方纵深，以及巨大的民意支持，关键要加快海空军的建设。
@@pangolinbikes 是的，这种可能性极低，大陆方面不会这么做，台湾方面因为贪婪也不会这么做。我只是被他们冠以“侵略”的时候很不爽所以才有了这种想法。明明是台湾的国民政府给我们大陆人民造成了这么多的伤害，反过来他们倒成了悲情主角，我真的很不平衡。
看现今的形势，战争的可能性确实是越来越高了。只希望战争那场战争里死的人能少点吧。
Because the historical facts are all lies of the communist that is why. Why did Taiwan have to give up the seat in UN because China came in crying as the big baby to be the only China in UN. That is why there are North Korea and South Korea in UN but not ROC and PRC. So use some brain instead of believing the communist lies. UN doesn't decide which territory is a country or not a country okay. UN only keep peace by democratic votes. Second, Taiwan is part of China but not a part of PRC. According to are constitution by Dr. Sun Yat Sen, Republic of China is China not your fake PRC. When Japan returned Taiwan in 1945, your PRC wasn't even established yet, so how can Taiwan be PRC's land you stupid??? Use some logic here !!!!!!
Despite historical facts, most people living in Taiwan just don't want to be ruled by Chinese Communist Party. Your government totally loses our trust by what it has done to its people.
It is not we who cast "peace" away, but you.
A minor mistake in the map. From 1895 to 1945, Taiwan was occupied by Japan. It returned to ROC after WWII. So in the map (1945-1949), Taiwan and mainland China belong to one country.
Wrong, Taiwan was originally founded by the indigenous people (ethnic Lao people) over thousands of years ago not the Qing dynasty (Manchurian people) or the ROC or the PRC or the overseas Chinese hence they only migrated to Taiwan during the dutch occupation of the Taiwan in 1945 it's became part of the ROC territory.

有國家開始注意到有兩個中國是非常棒的事情，這代表中華民國的機會來了!
台灣人現在必須一致對外宣稱自己是民主自由的中國人，如有機會接觸到外國人也應該把台灣與大陸的關係說明清楚，另外台灣內部也別再排斥說自己是中國人了
理由如下:
現在統治著大陸的政權就是個偽政權，跟國父孫文要創建的中國完全不一樣!
一、簡論中國:
台灣與大陸是地名，中華民國與中華人民共和國是國名，由中華民國這個政體管理的領土稱台灣，由中華人民共和國這個政體管理的領土稱大陸。 中國目前有2個，一是中華民國，一是中華人民共和國
1.中華民國:
為民主自由的中國，真正落實國父孫文的三民主義、民主思想。
中華民國是亞洲最早建立的民主國家，過去國父將民主、自由、平等、博愛等 作為中國的發展方向，但被蘇俄培植成立起來的共產黨完全摧毀掉中華民國既有的前進道路，導致後續國共內戰，民主自由的中國僅在台灣獲得實踐...
2.中華人民共和國:
為共產專制的中國，與國父當初要建立的民主中國背道而馳! 推崇"馬克思列寧主義"、"共產主義"
ps1.因過去中共領導人為了擊敗蔣中正奪取中國統治權(不管抗日、只管自肥)，不惜去抱蘇俄大腿，之後把中國搞得滿目瘡痍、民不聊生。
ps2.一定有人會反駁說現在大陸實施資本主義很久了、不專制了、也有部分投票權了，但官僚資本主義的性質仍有高度保守性、壟斷性、獨裁性)
兩岸就好比兩韓，北韓與南韓就是兩個韓國，兩岸就是兩個中國，這就是歷史造就的事實(由國共內戰後分裂)，只不過互不承認彼此的政權。
二、台灣民眾不能排斥說自己是中國人的理由-因為中共不等於中國:
台灣民眾不能害怕或逃避，本來就能大方承認自己是中國人 (中華民國、真中國) ，因為若是大家都一直逃避、不敢面對，久而久之國際社會會以為中國只有一個，就是中華人民共和國(偽中國)、就是大陸，卻不知道真正理想民主的中國在台灣落實。
韓國瑜日前說過，未來在國際場合只要有機會他就會讓"中華民國"在國際上被大家看到，不會再只稱台灣，目的就是避免各國都把中共與中國畫上等號。
承認自己是中國人絕非同意被中共(大陸)統治，也請把這種思維抽離自己的腦袋，這是正視歷史、面對真相、熱愛自己的國家就要為國發聲，展現更加堅定捍衛民主自由中國的決心；而不是鴕鳥心態搞台獨，自以為台灣與大陸一點關係也沒有(大陸是中華民國失去的疆土，當然要拿回來啊!)，自以為能閃避一輩子?
三、結論:
目前台灣有許多民眾非常排斥被說成是中國人，原因就在於"對中國的歷史理解不夠透徹"，但如果知道我們其實是民主自由的中國人、是在正確發展方向上的中國人、活在自由民主的體制之上的中國人，那承認自己是中國人又有何不可呢? 我非常慶幸生在中華民國(台灣)，且感到自豪與驕傲。
ps.過去就是不願正視歷史，課綱去中國化，導致現在不少民眾在台灣與中國的關係上理解不夠透徹。
後語:
我個人希望台灣民眾心中要有一個抱負，就像中共有"併吞台灣"的抱負一樣，在氣勢上當然不能輸給對方，所以我們要有光復大陸的抱負，但並非激進式的戰爭方式，而是以漸進式的和平方式 (相互交流、彼此理解) 讓民主的中華民國國旗能夠再插上大陸土地，這也是比較可能實現蔣經國總統過去所提出的「三民主義統一中國」之政策。
別忘了對岸大陸人也是共產主義的受害者，不少長輩受過迫害，如果未來有機會讓中華民國重掌大陸疆土，不只能讓對岸大陸同胞再次擁抱中華民國，也能實現國父當初未能完成的願望。
ps.兩岸關係也可以理解成一個中國兩個政府，就血脈而言同為炎黃子孫，故同為中國人，一中的說法也確實可以接受；但共產黨講的一個中國是又加上了政體的層次，逼迫台灣方面接受一個中國是中華人民共和國，這當然與台灣的中華民國政體有所牴觸。
ps.
台灣的歸屬:
國土間不存再從屬性，應從管理國土的國家政體來檢視國土的歸屬；1945年二次世界大戰日本投降時，將台灣歸還給中華民國政府(非中華人民共和國政府)，那時的中國是中華民國，中華人民共和國是在1949年擊敗國軍後才成立的偽政權(違背國父孫文的民主思想、三民主義，將"馬克思列寧主義"、"共產主義"帶進中國!)。
所以台灣本來就是歸還給中華民國，為中華民國固有之疆域，不屬於共產黨，也不屬於大陸。

Thanks for making this film, but there's one thing I'd like to remind you that China, the PRC government never controlled Taiwan, so it is not BACK under its control.
"After Japan’s surrender in World War II in 1945, Taiwan was returned to the control of the Chinese government, then led by Chiang Kai-shek and his Nationalist Party." Taiwan has returned to China since 1945, 4 years after its return, ROC relocated to Taiwan. Even in the current ROC constitution, Taiwan and mainland China are both part of China.
yes, PRC have never creat rules under Taiwan....
ROChina already independent since 1912 , unless ROC constitution amended into ROTaiwan , or merely talking for years without action ?
Taiwan is China, meaning whoever is the legitimate government of China has the right to govern China AS A WHOLE. Now its the PRC whether we like it or not. Taiwan should have been siezed before the civil war ended but the United States interfered in China's affairs making things complicated till now. Yes Taiwan is not under the PRC and never has been but it was, is and will always be China.
@@samwong5306 Yea yea, Native Americans are legitimate to rule America, Greeks are rightful owners of Anatolia stuff and stuff. Forget about these.

The truth is although both the Taiwan and mainland belong to China, they are ruled by their respective regimes(ROC、 PRC),

You also failed to mention that in the 1990s people in Taiwan still thought they are Chinese. It was the democracy and freedom of speech that keep Taiwan's common people from deep debating. Instead, they were simply taught to be OK to think everything. Any attempt of objection and debate will be responded by labeling and accusing of violation of democracy. Any expression which shows Taiwan people's Chinese idendity would be labeled as "not loving Taiwan". This intimitated the silent majority. No one was talking about why the two sides of the strait is one country and people only recieve one voice of independence.

I'm not sure what you learned but Japan is the first government which ruled the entire island of Taiwan. All the governments before that only controlled part of Taiwan.
China's first rule of Taiwan was during Qing Dynasty. Before that, the Netherlands, Spain and Tungning subsequently ruled Taiwan. And before modern states came to Taiwan, there were Aboriginal tribes.
@@eric85077 it was since 17th century and by then the whole island has been a part of the Fujian province and later on a province itself.

As a Taiwanese I would say, Taiwan has NEVER been governed by the CCP, and that is a fact. Taiwan has once been controlled by the Qung dynasty, but after it collapsed the Nationalism party take over China. Soon after as the video has explained the CCP won and nationalist party came to Taiwan. Therefore, how come ppl keep saying Taiwan is part of China ? It has been governed a long time ago but never under control by the CCP, For me China = CCP. Fortunately Taiwan now is a independent country that has the rights to participate in elections and decide for our future, which is very different from what ppl can do in China. Taiwan is Taiwan.

Correct.
There is one more thing I would like to share with the world is the way we write(I'm from Taiwan), which is the difference of Traditional Chinese and simplified Chinese.
PRC developed simplified Chinese in order to popularize the literacy rate.
Taiwan has inherit the original Chisese characters (also does Hong Kong)which was used over thousand years.
China and Taiwan do share same history and culture, but their government has put "Chinese" in shame because of their evil acts. Corona virus is just one of them, there are too much to list. I said PRC put Chinese in shame because we Taiwanese are also "Chinese" in cultural way. Also because Taiwan has officially named Republic of China, people hardly can tell the difference of Taiwan and China. We can understand, but this really bothers.
Thanks for making the video so the world can understand we two countries better.

I am Taiwanese. I should stand out to say that there are several mistakes in the video. First, just like the history shown in the video, Taiwan has never been a part of people’s republic of China. Taiwan is taken by Republic of China after the Chinese civil war.
Second, the action that people’s republic of China takes over Taiwan will be an INVASION, not reunification since Taiwan has never been a part of people’s republic of China.
Third, Taiwanese now don’t claim to take over people’s republic of China anymore. Almost all of Taiwanese regard the action of going to China as “going abroad”.

Stop arguing folks, can we agree we are all the great Han? Regardless of politics and countries, China is only a term to constrain our boundaries. The Han should be glorified.
China is a civilization state and the question of being a Chinese or not is often misunderstood. In English, the question essentially equates to "do you identify with the mainland regime?" and you can't reasonably expect the Taiwanese to nod yes (to push to an extreme, the west can also ask whether Koreans identify with the DPRK and be happily assured that they don't). Calm down, it's a wrong question to ask because you are qualifying the concept of China (resp. Korea) to one particular gov in a particular time of history. But really in the last 2000 years or so, there were hundreds of regimes established by emperors, warlords, and yes invaders (Yuan and Qing to name a few) on the land now known as China. That's why China is better characterized as a civilization stripped of political parties. This civilization is so strong that most of those who invaded and ruled China at one time in history merely embraced it and become a member of it as did the Mongols and the Man people. I conjecture that if Japan did occupied all of China after WWII like Genghis Khan did in the 1200s, then, after a hundred years maybe, the Chinese border will extend to include the Japanese islands. No joke, Khan killed Han Chinese in millions, but his lands got integrated into China in the long run. Now, this talk of civilization is put aside because of a discontent towards Authoritarianism (frankly, the mainlanders are not very pleased about it too). But the civilization continues. Do the Taiwanese celebrate Chinese New Year? Are they proud of their language? Their cultural heritage? Yes, yes, and yes. Had China adopted democracy, the Taiwanese would surely identify as Chinese (both culturally and politically). Maybe Korean and Vietnamese schools will start teaching Chinese characters again like they did before, who knows? So, stop kidnapping a civilization in the name of politics.
WW2 was a different story. Japan treated China as a backward civilization, determined to Japanize China, this eventually pushed modern Chinese nationalism to develop and mature, and defeated Japan. Japanese culture was influenced deeply by 800-year Samurai ruling, its core is quite different from China or Korea's Confucian culture.
You missed the 1945, when ROC took Taiwan back from Japan.
The PRC never conquered ROC Taiwan, so technically it's not independence.

However, due to CCP declared PRC establishment back in 1949 before conquering the island of Taiwan and defeating ROC entirely. What they did was basically declaring to the world that they took the mainland from ROC and created the country of PRC themselves, and the problem of two Chinas actually was a result & claim produced by CCP themselves.

It's actually a colour revolution and the ROC lost the civil war.
China and Taiwan is one country after ww2. Taiwan belongs to China. Easy way to look at it is China is in a civil war after 1915, and in 1928 KMT united the country in name, but the communist still controls some parts of China , and KMT tried to get rid of Communist and is successful in pushing them out. Then in 1936 one of the general decided to take matters in his own hands and force Chiang to stop fighting the communist and focus on the Japanese. He did that because he lost the 3 huge state without fighting and he regretted because he cannot be a warlord anymore. Then after the war, the communist with the help of USSR defeated KMT in the mainland and lost a battle at kinmen. Then the USA decided to help after Korea war started. This is how ROC is still around. The reason for no two China is both thinks they ruled all of china

Taiwan was regarded as a territory by the Republic of China in 1954. In 1954, the Republic of China at that time had China's five permanent seats in the United Nations, that is, orthodox China. From 1954 to 1971, Taiwan was part of the orthodox Chinese territory. However, after 1971, the Republic of China withdrew from the United Nations and no longer held the title of orthodox China. By definition, the Republic of China degenerated from orthodox China into a Chinese rebel organization. With the democratization in the 1990s, Taiwanese took control of this organization through elections, and transformed the Republic of China from a rebel organization in China into a country built by more than 20 million people. This country is called the Republic of China, Taiwan. In the future, this may change the country's name from the Republic of China, Taiwan, to the Republic of Taiwan. However, to the People's Republic of China, Taiwan under the Republic of China 's rule is like the property of its father, and the Republic of China in Taiwan is like the illegitimate son of the Republic of China in Taiwan, competing with the People's Republic of China for the property of Taiwan. However, Taiwan, the Republic of China, is not recognized as a country by the international community, so it will certainly suffer a loss in the fight for its inheritance. Even in the future, the Republic of Taiwan will have difficulties in claiming to inherit the Republic of China Taiwan, which is not recognized as a country. If the Republic of Taiwan is independent from the People's Republic of China rather than the Republic of China Taiwan, it must first recognize that Taiwan is part of the People's Republic of China. But doesn't this mean unification? If the Republic of Taiwan is independent from the Republic of China Taiwan, because the Republic of China Taiwan are A country transformed from the Republic of China, a Chinese rebel organization, is not recognized as a country and will encounter the same dilemma as independence from the People's Republic of China. Therefore, the Republic of China Taiwan do not want to be reunified, but they cannot become independent and can only maintain the status quo.
This video neglects a key fact that from 1945 to 1949, Taiwan and mainland belong to one country.
I always wondered what the deal was between China and Taiwan. This video helped but but not fully. But the main thing is China believes Taiwan is part of China and Taiwan disagrees is that pretty much it?

@@发大水是
Safer from what?
People let me explain my thoughts. As a Taiwanese myself, I think most Taiwanese have 2 reasons not to call themselves Chinese. First reason which most communist Chinese love to say is that those people want to create an independent country separate from historical "China." Those people are only a fraction of the population. Second reason which most "Taiwanese," meaning the civilian of Republic of China, is that they want to distinguish from people's republic of china, meaning communist China. They don't want the foreigners mistakenly believe that they are from communist China, since, believe me and sorry to say, most people are ignorant about this part of history, hence the reason why we have this video. That is because Republic of China and the people's republic of china are fundamentally different from each other despite similar names. One like the US and the other one like the USSR. In my humble opinion, BOTH sides should call themselves Chinese, just in different government rule. In addition, "Taiwan" is always an independent country, its official name is Republic of China. As whether other countries recognize Republic of China is a country or not is not in our control, but we do accept Republic of China is a country as a fact.
I do not dislike the Chinese being rule by the communist China, only the individuals that do stupid things and the, more political correct term, Stalinism party in China.
Fun HISTORICAL Fact. Mao himself creates the Chinese Soviet Republic in the first people, which separate the historical China in to 2 countries in 1931-37. So, please communist China don't use our name and just put people in front of it, you should change it into Chinese Soviet Republic to be more correct of what you were. Plus, the long escape chasing down by the KMT now the communist called it the "Long March," because they were shame to admit it, was happening at this time too.
Finally someone with some sense. Feels a bit offensive when they stupidly say I'm Taiwanese, not Chinese. Morons also. To those retards.

In fact, the design of that US domestic law is but a facade for the arms dealers and the neocons in the US regime to hide behind when making tons of money by selling useless junk to Taiwan while using Taiwan as one of its paens, as it does with Vietnam, South Korea, the Phollipines, and Japan, to encircle China.
Like during 1950s to 1960s, the US provided weapons, trained militias and then air dropped thrm yo Tibet, to attempt military operations against the People's Repunluc of China. The operation failed. And the CIA agents in that operation told that the US was not intended to help the Tibetans establish their separate state, nut just to cause nuisance yo China by containing China's devrlopment with such distraction via military actions.
The whole thing has.been declassifief and the BBC even made a documentary of it, called Operation Shadow Circus.
Of course not everyone thinks they quote "Taiwanese" but rather some of they actually respect they're Chinese ancesterol heritage
Je suis Taïwanaise, je NE SUIS pas chinoise! Nous avons notre propre présidente qui est élue de façon démocratique, notre propre loi et économique ! Arrêtez de dire que Taïwan est une partie de la Chine, les chinois veulent que le monde entier est une partie de la Chine, n’est pas? Ridicule !
Chiang Kai-shek (蔣介石 Jiǎngjièshí) made a stupid mistake when he claimed tiny Taiwan was "the real China". It forced a choice of what is China and cost Taiwan a seat in the United Nations. That does nothing to support the communist claim that Taiwan is a mainland province. It was "declared" so by the Qing emperor in 1887, but Qing rule was sparse and did not effectively convert the Taiwanese to the emperor's way of thinking. Just as the Nazis had to give up on the idea of owning Poland, so must the People's republic of China give up thinking they own Taiwan.
@@lancebaker1374 lol， no he did not claim tiny taiwan as the real China. What he claimed is the communist is not the legitimate government and mainland China should be under the rule of ROC, including Taiwan. His government has a seat in UN as one of the 5 powers until 1971. Until his death he still wants to take back mainland China, that is why on his deathbed he said not to bury him until ROC is back in China.
做的真好
Taiwan is a country.
That's lots of person who have no courage to admit
So as a part of Taiwan
I'm proud and want to say

people's China govenment made the Taiwan people disappointed because of what they are treating their people. we wish this situation can be charged and the people's China can do better in the future .
支那共匪國乃是東亞病夫，不可與中華民國媲美！ 武統大陸才是正道！願三民主義統一中國，中華民族能光復民國！The PRC is the Sick Man of East Asia and cannot be compared with the Republic of China! Military pacification of Mainland China is the right way. May the Three Principles of the People unify China and the Chinese race revive the Republic of China!
