Even if Taiwan agreed to be the Switzerland of Asia, China will not bully the world into no having diplomatic ties with the island.

Taiwan was for thirty years a staging ground for the USA-Japan-South Korea military alliance..



I've seen old American army bases near Taipei.

Taiwan has de facto independence....the only thing that makes de jure independence not an option is China's bullying..



But, it's current predicament is the fault of Generalissimo Chiang Kai Shek..



He was urged by the Japanese ambassador to the ROC in Taipei in the mid 1960's to change the title of the country to the Chinese Republic of Taiwan, but it meant recognizing the PRC which he would never do..



American ambassador to the UN in 1971, George HW Bush urged Chiang to recognize the PRC because most of the world was changing recognition of China from the ROC in Taiwan to the PRC in Peking..



Chiang refused to recognize the PRC and refused to change the name of Taiwan to keep it's seat in the UN and left after Resolution 2708 was passed..


That's all very interesting but it doesn't change the facts:



China will never allow Taiwan to become a staging ground for hostile powers (i.e. NATO) and who can blame them.



The moment Taiwan even looks to be amenable to such an arrangement is the moment it *will* be put solidly under Beijing's direct control by whatever means necessary.



Everything else is just diplomacy and economics.





Debating the minutia of who-signed-what-when and who-said-which-where is fascinating but academic.

Beijing would have to be incredibly stupid to permit, for example, USA naval and/or air bases to sprout like toxic mushrooms on Taiwan.

Whatever else Beijing may be, it's not stupid.

Even missile batteries or defense systems "gifted" to Taiwan would be clear acts of war and treated accordingly.



This is simply common sense and realism.



Approve... disapprove... makes no difference.

Taiwan either remains strictly neutral or merges (subordinately) with the mainland.

Any other move *will* result in an immediate invasion and forcible annexation by Beijing.



NATO's expansionism and aggression in service to the USA's undeclared global hegemony have left Beijing with no other choices.

What is then?



Qing dynasty?

It's undetermined..



Article One  of the Instrument of Surrender gave Chiang Kai Shek authority to accept surrender of Imperial Japan on behalf of the USA, but it didn't transfer sovereignty of Taiwan from Imperial Japan to the ROC..



The San Francisco Peace Treaty and the Treaty of Taipei didn't do that either..



This is why the PRC' claim to Taiwan is bogus.....it's predicated on the ROC having sovereignty over Taiwan and they never did..



The ROC exercises effective territorial control over Taiwan and the Pescdores, but it doesn't have sovereignty over it.

Dang kid. Aint you smart.

No, they aren't..



Neither the ROC or PRC is the legal government of Taiwan either.

Question.



Is Republic of China the legal ruler over all of China?



Mao Zedongs commie thugs took over the country while the real government fled to Taiwan.

No, they aren't..

She is beautiful... Aesthetically pleasing.



But she doesnt register in the boner-meter.

She is average. She has other videos where she looks better.

Mainlanders don't have opinions of their own.

Western countries shut down over COVID. They are destroying their economies because the climate is changing. China is not alone in believing what's drilled into their heads.

I would add gender to that as well. We no longer want a marketplace of ideas in Canada.

 They must be ridiculous because most all the Asain women I see are stunning.
