The Taiwan independence advocates continually claim that since there are no international legal documents to prove that Taiwan is currently part of Japan, the ROC, or the PRC, Taiwan must therefore (by default) be an independent sovereign nation. This video examines different categories of "territory" under international law to show that such an argument may be in error.

  • What about Kimen and Matsu? Those two islands allow the ROC to apply for UN membership. You want to play the loopholes game? I can do this shit all day =P

  • @RogerwilcoFoxtrot Ha Ha Ha!!! Those two island groups are within the territorial waters of another UN member (the People's Republic of China), and therefore could not be used by the Republic of China government in exile to apply for UN membership.

  • Taiwan is a country! we have our own president and government! it's just the Chinese and some of Taiwanese don't think so!

  • How far back is the timeline in your work? I don't see you incorporating any East Asian history at all. Did you ever seek advice from anyone that specialize in East Asian history? I'm sure there are many professors out there who can help you. Missing out important East Asian historical facts and focusing solely on US perspective can make your work narrow and hence, lacks credibility. I was expecting something a lot more comprehensive and intellectual from someone who claims to be from Wharton.

  • @gabby6741 wheres your UN membership?

  • There is only one China Republic of China

  • @akaospirits According to official governmental statistics, 98% of Taiwan's population is made up of Han Chinese

  • Holy crap! Taiwan really is a US colony! If somebody had told me that earlier I would never have believed them even for a second. I think I like this "internet" thing.

  • maybe if the land was the size of china then they'll probably let it go

  • @akaospirits right, Shanghainese is not Chinese, Shanghainese is Shanghainese.

  • @akaospirits

    that is so true!
