- Taiwan's newly inaugurated President Lai Ching-te, also known as William Lai, has softened his separatist rhetoric and urged China to acknowledge Taiwan's democratic existence. However, can peace be maintained if Beijing continues to insist that reunification is inevitable?

Status quo is hard to maintain when Joesep Lai does not want to abide to the 1992 consents.
lol; from a global prospective. Isn't mainland's empire Xi that wants to change and rewrite the Status Quo (aka the existing world order which nearly all of the G20 had benefited from, which includes China)
Lets keep in mind that Beijing isn't just claiming Taiwan but also 90% of the West Philippine Sea (aka South China Sea) - etc etc against multiple other nations.
So yeah; it'll be like giving 20% of Ukraine to Moscow so it can agree to peace, rest and than demand for more in another 2-8 years.
Ever wonder why the once Pro-Beijing S.Korea/Philippine and X other had all basically align itself in the Western Camp instead of blowing to Beijing... though there are several different reasons (e.g felt threaten by Beijing, Beijing's economic decline made it less attractive, mixture of multiple reasons etc)
It is not a member of the United Nations - what country you are talking about! The British guy is not representing the truth.
You are the one telling the lies😂
technically ROC (Republic of China, currently known as Formosa Taiwan) was not just any member of United Nation.
It was one of the 5 permanent member who established the United Nation :3
Guess this is just another one of the fact that Beijing has avoided telling its citizens.
@@michaelwang6125”was”, right? Although the CCP lies all the time, that is not hidden or unspeakable in China. The CCP actually feels proud that it managed to replace ROC as the representative of China, otherwise how did it get the position as the permanent member of the security council?
Another silly fellow who will get nowhere with his push for independence. Taiwan's independence is as impossible as the US giving up its nukes.
Taiwan stays with China. They are the same people. China and Taiwan is one
so why does Taiwan own president who is against China?
No
You are the same people as your beloved Winnie the Pooh, Taiwanese is not.
most of the world's population came from Africa.
All must now become one with Africa and accept the law/rule of Africa Union.... right? lol
Xu is absolutely right what he said
XU is full of crap !!! Tell me what did he say right?
freedom and democracy cannot guarantee a peaceful taiwan province of China.
yes; it must drop down all its defense; enable the population to be washed with pro-Beijing citizens so it can remain peaceful like Hong Kong and Tibet.. that basically had no sovereignty left. Can see why several nations and not just people are drifting away from Beijing; when even its own people are voting with their feet. If you can call the era of Mao on the mainland as "totally peaceful" than try explain why the quality of life was so poor and in some case shorten during those 'peaceful era with 'total freedom' (?)??
why dont they sit down and talk like brothers do?
I have not mispresented the facts i.e. not a member of United Nation. Not a country.
republic of China (which is now known as formosa Taiwan) was one of the 5 permanent members when United State created it.
@@michaelwang6125 So who are the citizens of the Republic of China? Western white people? Afro? According to your logic, the land of China should be the Qin Dynasty.🤣
@@michaelwang6125are you being completely Russian? Coz Ukraine “was” part of Russia when the Russia Empire “was” at its prime.
China no
The cross-strait relationship!
Cute is absolutely right
Taiwan belong china no matter
Status quo means permanent separation of Taiwan from China. That is not what China want, nor is it the objective of the DPP, which wants Taiwan's independence. Thus it is a moot point. The truth is that China pushes toward reunification, while the DPP government pulls toward independence. This is the real situation across the Taiwan strait.
China may only allow one country, two systems. Taiwan will never be allowed independence.
Hong Kong offers a cautionary tale that the Taiwanese electorate did not ignore.
@@jeromebesson It was Beijing's crackdown on Hong Kong in 2019 that lead to Taiwan's pro-democratic victory in 2020 since Beijing proven the current China to be not trustworthy. It was like the time when Mao promises Tibet their internal sovereignty and become part of China but broke it within Xi (10) years. Beijing even want to be able to pick who they next Lama is.... so yeah.
Looking back; Putin wants to weaken Nato but his invasion into Ukraine had only made it stronger with Finland/Sweden both becoming a member.
Wong Timing is the new President of Taiwan😅
taiwan's official name is Republic of
China😅😅😅
Founded in Chinese Hubei province at 1911
Do you guys see the big picture? Once Taiwan falls, the whole Asia including S Korea, Japan and SE Asia fall.
this is the main reason why Japan's late PM Abe said if Taiwan is in trouble, so will Japan.
S.Korea also said the same and Philippine president became the first president that Taiwan has no official diplomatic relationship with to congratulate him on his victory on X.
The tug of war between America and Beijing for Asia countries has always been..
Rely on USA for Defense and China for Economy. Many country was leading towards China for economic in early 2010s but;
There is a big change due to recent Xi years of Wolf warrior diplomacy and Moscow's invasion that highlighted the value of Defense.
Not to mention China's economic charm had hastily tanked due to Beijing's own policies...
e.g Hong Kong's stock index drop down by over 30-40%.... ugh that would had cause any president to lose their jobs in democratic nation.
This is why even Taiwan's president is supportive of Ukraine's defense.. despite it means the potential of decrease military support for Taiwan itself.
Expansionist once they gain something will always seek for more....and there goes the rule base order if they are successful.
All Taiwan can have independent....no problem....the people in Taiwan can leave to another country like in America. Bring along your properties as well.The land belongs to China. China is the owner. Understand ❤
American verbalism.
And you must be an angry muslim mourning over your brother of irans passing. Hush your mouth. You know nothing
Taiwan is not independent because Japan removed itself from the Taiwan issue without recognizing Taiwanese independence. Japan did not cede Taiwan to China either. Japan only renounced its territorial rights.
The ROC on Taiwan is not a state. Taiwan is not independent. Taiwan does not belong to China. Taiwan is not separated from China. Since separated from Japan, not from China, Taiwan’s international status remains undecided.
William Lai never manifested separatist ambitions that China should take offense of. China does not own Taiwan. China has no say in the issue of Taiwan. China has no legal claim to Taiwan.
William Lai is only recorded as saying that the September 8, 1951 Treaty of San Francisco which did not cede Taiwan to China, to any China is the cornerstone of Taiwan’s currently undecided international status. He also voiced his hope of seeing Taiwan shed its ROChinese hide. This is an internal issue of Taiwan best left to the sovereign electorate of Taiwan to deal with.
It would help the Taiwanese to know that the protecting power, the US Congress, in the Jan 1, 1979 Taiwan Relations Act (TRA), a US law, posits that the alien Chinese regime on Taiwan and the Taiwan inhabitants who deem themselves of Chinese nationality according to the laws of that alien regime exiled on non-Chinese Taiwan are, perforce, “people ON Taiwan” instead of “people OF Taiwan”.
That construct follows from the legal truth that the SFPT did not cede Taiwan to China, to any China. The TRA also suggests that Taiwan is just “Taiwan" and that the US would condone a name-change switching from ROC to plain “Taiwan”.
But the Chinese language translation of the TRA fails to convey the intent of Congress and the letter of TRA. The Chinese translation of the act, except for the first occurrence of the key phrase, mangles the oft-repeated “people ON Taiwan” into “people OF Taiwan”.
The 46-year old TRA in its Chinese language version undoubtedly misled, hampered the Taiwanese in their rightful pursuit of a Taiwan liberated of the Chinese regime Americans useful idiots had foisted on Japanese Taiwan almost 80 years ago.
Sensing that the protecting power, prevents them from shed their Chinese hide, leaders of Taiwan chose to put up as best they could with the alien Chinese regime. They are deluding themselves into believing that they successfully localized that alien regime through electoral democrac and that it should be good enough.
Lai Ching-te and Tsai Ingwen have been mislead by US-DOS in upholding the alien Republic of China regime on Taiwan since the demise of Chiang Ching-kuo. US-DOS has been once more too creative. US-DOS should be held in contempt of Congress for their underhanded mangling of the letter of the Taiwan Relation Act.
