I'm American and have lived in Taiwan for 12 years now and, I must say, it is a truly special place. The people are so genuinely kind and caring and there is such a true spirit of what they call 公德心 or civic morality here. What many may not realize is Taiwan really does have a thriving democracy (complete with a referendum process and high turnout) where the government genuinely works for the people. I can't express how tragic it would be for the Taiwanese to lose what they have here and fall to an autocracy.

Taiwan is famously called the fraudulent island or scam island. Do u know about that? Maybe not. Lol
Your comment is greatly appreciated. Bless your heart.
@Eric Kerr So ?? But the way, I think you’re getting paid by some party for the sake of anti-freedom. Lol
I love Taiwanese people so much "Small Island, but we're proud of it" Gotta love a group of patriots like that.

This comment is cringy.
Yes, just like you gotta love the Ukraine government. They are so loyal to the US.

Taiwan is also one of the friendliest place on Earth. Everyone who visited always talk about how friendly and kind everyone is living here. It's a truly civil society in the most sincere sense of the word.
Yet due to China, they have no UN seat and no direct diplomatic relations with almost no country on Earth. Everyone has turned their backs on Taiwan, and yet they became almost a model nation with strong, forward looking economy, progressive social trends (first Asian nation to legalize same sex marriage), best medical system in the world, wonder people, and the legendary food scene that is famous in Asia. This is one of the most special places in the world.
Taiwan returned to China in 1945, as WW2 just ended, though China was represented by ROC govt.
Agree except for the part about their economy. Their average wages are low and their graduate wages have been stagnant for a long time.
Pretty sure most nations in the UN voted to move recognition from ROC to PRC. And Taiwan is hardly a model nation: case in point - domestic politics there is about to get them annihilated by the Chinese.
The UN General Assembly voted to replace ROC with PRC in 1971. Many countries voted to make that change.
You could be talking about Ireland , funny enough the same people are involved that will bring it down. UK and of course their new partner in crime ( Terrorism ) the USA.

@mar win I've lived in China. It was horrible due to lack of rights. Taiwan is nothing like China and the CCP has NEVER ruled Taiwan. Taiwan has its own elected government, own military, own currency, and own culture. Moreover Taiwan (ROC) meets every criteria of nationhood by the Montevideo Convention on sovereignty. Taiwan (ROC) is a country and the CCP has zero rightful claim to it.

As a Taiwanese, I want to use this opportunity to raise awareness to the fact that Taiwan should not be considered a democracy any longer. The ruling party on the island has seized opposition party's assets and shut down news outlet that was aligned with the opposition party. The law enforcement has been ordered to harass citizens who "spread rumors". Sadly, the international community is completely unaware of these serious incidents.

We are not pawns of the United States against our motherland, and we will not be sacrificed for American interests.
Don't forget that Taiwan rightly has its own indigenous people native there, who have been overtaken in all walks of life by the Han chinese.

The Taiwanese people have been under threat of war for decades. There's no point for them to worry that they might all die tomorrow, and just try to live well. That doesn't mean that they are defenseless, but I suppose that if you cannot stop China from being a lousy neighbor, why live in fear? The Chinese want to see the Taiwanese miserable and afraid, so why give them the satisfaction?
Not half but all Taiwanese must stand up against communist China.

My mother's family was one of the lucky families that was able to flee communism in China in the late 40's. They gave up their entire life savings to get on a boat to Taiwan and start over. Taiwan has a culture that is distinctly unique from China's and has set a benchmark for successful Asian democracies.
Funny how you clowns always say Taiwan has unique culture, but be unable to point out difference from Chinese culture
i know we're supposed to focus on unity within, but ironically these days, most of the families that fled to Taiwan during the Chinese civil war are supporters of unification with China. Why is that? I don't understand.
Nobody would want to to “flee” to Taiwan in the late 40s. Stop making up stories. CCP and kmt was still in the civil war at mainland China in the 40s. Taiwan was not that close to the main land that you can just jump on a random boat to go there. What a joke
Most likely false. Your family probably came over with the wave of KMT stragglers and couldn't bring hard assets onto a boat.

I met many wonderful Taiwanese people during college. Every single Taiwanese student that I met and befriended told me very proudly of their time serving in the military. They also told me about their love for democracy and freedom, and their worry of China coming for them, however every single one of them told me they would fly back to Taiwan in a heartbeat if war broke out to defend their motherland.

Go Taiwan! dont live in fear but dont ignore keeping your defenses up. put pressure on the government to focus on military development and small but survival weapons like mini submarines/mini missile boats. expand military service and reform consciption training. dont buy expensive fighter jets that cant take off during war because runways are destroyed or large ships that are easy targets for china's anti-ship missiles.
And one more thing: The government shall not trick its citizens to hate China so that the governing party can continue to win election in order to enjoy the power and all the political sources.

People in Taiwan really worked so hard for our democracy, we just don’t want to be dominated by communism.
I simply cannot understand why both media and politicians confuse the One China Policy. Anyone who understands English (I am Vietnamese) and reads this policy would discover that it is quite clear. On top of this China have already broken the One China Policy so no "tip toeing" around this policy is required.
Now to go through some points directly pasted out of the 1979 China/US Joint agreement document (One china policy):
1: "Neither should seek hegemony in the Asia-Pacific region or in any other region of the world and each is opposed to efforts by any other country or group of countries to establish such hegemony."
The CCP have broken this agreement by claiming the Taiwan Straight and The South China Sea as their sovereign territory upsetting countries such as Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia and others. This is illegal claim not recognised throughout the world. The CCP are also disputing several Japanese islands as well. So this agreement is already null and void as the CCP have broken the agreement and are seeking hegemony in the Asia-Pacific region.
2:"The Government of the United States of America acknowledges the Chinese position that there is but one China and Taiwan is part of China."
This sentence does not state that the US agrees with China's position, it simply acknowledges it. E.g I can acknowledge that my friend is a Republican even though my political stance may be a Democrat.
THIS SENTENCE STATES THERE IS ONE CHINA BUT DOES NOT STATE THAT TAIWAN IS PART OF CHINA.
The CCP proceeded to then introduced the "One China Principle" stating "There is only one China and Taiwan is part of China." (as the CCP were unhappy with the One China Policy agreement) but this view is not shared or recognised by the US or many other countries. By not recognising the CCP's One China principle demonstrates that much of the world does NOT recognise Taiwan as part of China.
If you read the policy clearly there is no confusion.
Now for some stats:
Nearly 90% of people in Taiwan identify themselves as Taiwanese. 4.6% of people in Taiwan consider themselves as Chinese.
27% of people said they are both Taiwanese and Chinese.
50% of Taiwanese would like to maintain the status quo regarding the One China Policy.
39% would like Taiwan to become independent (which they already are).
84% of Taiwanese think positively of Japan
75.6% of Taiwanese think positively of the US

I lived in Taiwan for an entire year teaching at a public middle school. I always applauded what I called, "Chinese Democracy," essentially, Taiwan and Hong Kong (before it became oppressed). They have a lot to offer the word in terms of the Chinese language and culture, and Taoism, which I wrote a book on. When people are 'free,' they tend to be more happy and creative. But a fight is coming soon.

Thank you for your good words! People like to think Taiwan as a counterpart of China. However, Taiwan is a country of Austronesian and multi-ethnic origins in terms of genes and culture. Taiwanese can speak Chinese now because those defeated Chinese invaded Taiwan in 1949 and forbade Taiwanese languages. Now Taiwanese are working on re-gaining our languages back.

First of all TAIWAN is not a province of China and hasn't been since 1895. Secondly there is no reunification with Taiwan. Lets get it straight the CCP and even mainland China have no sovereign claim to Taiwan and I will prove it to you. The CCP distorted version of history is BS.
After being discovered by the Portuguese, it was the Dutch who first colonized the island of Formosa in 1626. When the Dutch initially colonized the island was there a major war between China and the Dutch over Taiwan?? Of course not. This proves that China had no claim to the region prior to 1683. In fact in 1683, the Kangxi Emperor said specifically that “Taiwan is outside our empire and of no great consequence” and even offered to have the Dutch buy it back.
When the Dutch arrived in 1626 most of the population were the Yuanzhumin or Gaoshan people and a few Chinese fishermen who got washed ashore. So please tell of the great battle for Formosa between the Dutch and Chinese in 1626???? There was none. So where is the claimed long history. lol
The CCP claim that Taiwan has been part of China historically yet the Qing dynasty first took control of the West and North of Formosa in 1683 but not the entire island. It was not until 1885 that the island of Formosa first become a province of the Qing Empire. This demonstrates that the island of Formosa was a province of China for only 10 years as Japan occupied the island by 1895. So please explain to me the great long history of Formosa to China?
China claimed only parts of the island for just over 200 years. Some simple arithmetic clearly displays that 200 years of partial occupation out of 5000 years of history is merely 0.04% of China's history for part of the island only. Therefore Taiwan has NOT been a significant part of China's history.
It must also be remembered the Qing government signed the Treaty of Shimonoseki, by which it cedes sovereignty over Taiwan to Japan, the fact is that China historically has been a land based power and have no significant history in Taiwan. If it had not been for the escape and invasion of the ROC in 1949 the rightful owner of Formosa would be Japan as demonstrated by the Senkaku Islands still belonging to Japan today.
To further prove my point, when the ROC first arrived most of the locals wore Kimonos and spoke Japanese.
The CCP and mainland China have no sovereignty or territorial integrity of Taiwan and with the CCP's increased intimidation to Taiwan has resulted in increased tensions with many countries around the world. Back off CCP and maintain the status quo as China has no significant historical claim to the island..

Taiwan is free forever
In one condition, that is: The U.S. will fight for The free Republic of China (Taiwan's formal country name). Taiwan won't survive its freedom without the U.S' protection.
Always
Yeah keep dreaming
Taiwan's military needs massive reform and change. It really is not very good right now. Ukraine has shown that its possible for a military to professionalize itself very quickly. US NEEDS to send military advisors to Taiwan ASAP. military aid similar to how we did with Ukraine should be happening right now. Taiwan is having to wait years for US military goods to reach its country.
Taiwan needs enough rifles to hand one to anyone willing to take one and head to the beach. It would be like shooting fish in a barrel. Taiwan is a Switzerland with a 100-mile moat.
The problem is the willingness of the people…. Just to give u an example in Taiwan generally the mandatory military training is only 4 months whereas in Korea it’s 2 years. I’m pretty sure they have been persuaded that US will fight for them or else what’s the point of the Japanese base. Ukraine had crimea as a warning and it won them some very valuable years to prepare not sure Taiwan will have the same so I agree with what u recommend. However there needs to be an urgency among the public sentiment which it doesn’t have…. Similar to the militarisation if Japan. The public does not feel the urgency which is why I don’t think much will change.
Ya, it is amazing how so many criticize the United States - but yet when they need help the first country they call on is the United States. Countries need to learn to take care of themselves FIRST. America will always help democratic countries they are allied with.
But countries need to do better themselves. The United States has given ENORMOUS aid to Ukraine and also a lot of training. It is nice to see it working. I seriously doubt China will invade Taiwan, but if they do they will soon realize that America equipment and American training are superior - the Russians are finding this out the hard way.
America is far from perfect - but without the aid of America most of the world, if not all of it, would be controlled by dictators like they have in China and Russia. There is literally NO other country in the world that can give the money, the training, and the military help America gives.

When asked about a way out of Russia Ukraine conflict by a reporter, Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin answered, 'The way out of conflict is Russia leave Ukriane.'
A way out of Taiwan Strait conflict => China leave Taiwan alone.
It really is pretty simple - but the big FEAR of the Chinese government is that more and more Chinese realize that the people of Taiwan have more freedom and more prosperity than the average Chinese does. The Chinese government tries to control everything so their people don't REALLY know what is going on.
Otherwise, it really makes no sense for China to do what they do.

I've been to Taiwan and it's a lovely country with vibrant people who treasure their democracy and civil freedoms. The parallels are hard to ignore between Taiwan and Ukraine - both thriving democracies aligned with more Western mores and values and both threatened by a large Communist neighbor run by a strongman who cares little for individual freedom and feels threatened by what their smaller counterparts represent. I've been to Hong Kong too and the people there reminded me a lot more of the Taiwanese than the mainland Chinese in their culture and mannerisms. It's sad how Beijing has broken its promises to Hong Kong citizens and I wish the UK had never given it back to them. Here's hoping Ukraine succeeds in their war against their oppressor and that Taiwan never has to do the same.
Ukraine was a thriving democracy? Lol what? How much is the NED/State Dept paying you for this or are you doing it for free?
