[j20blackdragon]

Everyone calm down. China is a peace loving country and Taiwan is perfectly safe.

Really ?
Check Japan history. How did Japan get Taiwan in 1895?

Why surprised and say "really ?" ?

Japan? What about Japan?

Know your history and know the topic at hand.

Taiwan was never part of the long history of China. Even the Spanish and Dutch were on the island before any Chinese dynasty.

Shut up stupidfck. We are in 2019 not 1410! There’s been a big independence movement in Taiwan for like ever. They don’t consider themselves Chinese. They’re occupied by China. You from Pakistan you stuck in 1300s. Taiwan doesn't want to be part of china period! Why force it? History changes all the time, just because it once was doesn't mean it always should be. Taiwan and China are nothing alike. Taiwan people love democracy and freedom. China is a communist country!


Great post! China has to be stopped! Communist China is the biggest threat to democracy in the 21st century

The official name of Taiwan is Republic of China. The relationship between Taiwan and China is similar to between North and South Korea, NOrth and South Vietnam as well as East and West Germany. Get yourself educated on the facts before making yourself sound like a buffoon.

In 1895, Qing dynasty of China ceded Taiwan to Japanese empire. So Japan agree that by 1895, Taiwan was a province of China.

Taiwan always and will belong to China.

Japan was a foreign power controlling Taiwan. Before that, Qing Dynasty was a foreign power controlling Taiwan.

But even though both were foreign powers, Taiwanese regard time under Japan better than when under Qing. Japan brought in modernization. Qing was old fashion with many crackdowns. More crack downs than when Japan was in control.

Now when WW2 ended, and the ally powers "returned" Taiwan to CKS's China, were theTaiwanese happy? No. Instead there was a msssacre in 1947. The French were happy, the Belgiums were happy, the jews were happy.

The Taiwanese were not. It was not a return to native country. It was a "return" to the previous foreign power, who was worse than Imperial Japan.

When Taiwan finally had their first presidential election in 1996, they voted for a candidate that stood on a Taiwanese identity platform.

Its same like how islands in the Pacific were once controlled by Germany. But after WW1, they changed to Japanese control.

In short, it was possesion going from one foreign power to another.

Qing dynasty only got control of Formosa because the Ming was trying to run away. Neither Ming nor Qing were in Formosa when war started between the two. Ming was losing and ran away to the small island of Formosa in the late 1600s. In order to kill off Ming, the Qing followed in pursuit into Formosa and eliminated Ming. So then the Qing stayed but with lots of rebellions from the local native population. "Hint hint" local population is not Han and wanted Han out but Han made new Chinese dynasty laws of land grabbing. It was such an extent of rebellions that the Qing didn't really mind losing the "troublesome island".

So late 1600s until late 1800s. About 200 years only. Are you going to say that India still belongs to Great Britain? Are you going to say that the Philippines still belongs to Spain?

Taiwan's people deny it. What communist regime is trying to do is occupation.

The island is part of China, non-Chinese can leave.

But even though both were foreign powers, ..........

Chinese account for only abou 10% of the population. Another 10% considers themselves "Taiwanese and Chinese". The remaining 75～80% consider themselves Taiwanese. So your proposition would remove about 18 million people. Talk about crazy.

They are Taiwanese not Chinese!!

 

[Suika]

Thank you !

I think you missed the point. Being a previous foreign power does not validate today's claim on Taiwan. Taiwan is what Taiwanese want. They just want PRC money so don't declare independence. But there is no majority wanting unity with the PRC, its not even close.

The original inhabitant were the Taiwanese aborigines and they remember who massacre them.

They can go to Japan, I'm glad Japan will accept they.

What do you know about the original Taiwanese ? But I do not blame you for not knowing. You are a foreigner.

I dont care who they are if they are not Chinese.
