Do you really understand this period of Chinese history?
In 1895, the Qing Dynasty was forced to sign the Treaty of Shimonoseki and cede Taiwan Province to Japan.
In 1912, the Republic of China replaced the Qing Dynasty (the regime fell, and ROC inherited everything from the Qing Dynasty, including Taiwan Province, which the Qing government was forced to cede to Japan).
After Japan's defeat in World War II, the territories plundered and colonized by Japan before were returned to all countries. In 1945, the Republic of China took back Taiwan Province, which was forced to cede to Japan in 1895. This is also the origin of why Taiwan is now called the "Republic of China". At this time, Taiwan is only a province under ROC. Afterwards, there was a civil war between the two political parties in China (the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party). The Communist Party took control of the mainland, and the Kuomintang was defeated and fled to Taiwan Province.
By 1949, with the support of most Chinese people, the PRC was established in the mainland and replaced the ROC (the regime fell, and the PRC inherited all of the ROC, including Taiwan Province. Just like the ROC inherited the Qing Dynasty). But there is no denying the fact that the former government that fled to Taiwan Province was in power on the island under the banner of ROC. At this time, China formed two governments: the former government and the new government. Those who support independence in Taiwan will confuse the situation by describing it as two countries, often confusing sovereignty and governance rights. So far, the territorial scope of the two constitutions are intertwined.

In 1971, United Nations Resolution 2758 restored the People's Republic of China's seat in the United Nations representing China. So far, the PRC government has received international recognition and has become the only legitimate government of China. After that, Chiang Kai-shek and the subsequent illegal former governments continued to be in power in Taiwan Province under the banner of ROC to this day. To be precise, they are still in a state of civil war.

Some time after that, they also threatened to counterattack the mainland. At that time, their economy was much better than that of the mainland and they had strength. But now mainland China is the second most powerful country in the world, and the strength gap between the two sides is huge. They knew there was no hope of counterattack. The political interests of those in power would be shaken if they were unified. It's like asking Elon Musk to give up being the CEO of Tesla and become a car mechanic. Who would be willing to do that? ? Therefore, politicians all advocate Taiwan independence. They revise and delete Chinese history in their education system. And educate Taiwanese youth so that their subconscious minds think that Taiwan is a country. Is this considered brainwashing? ? ?

I like the videos on this channel, but you all should probably work on pronunciations a bit (in this and other videos). For example, Qing Dynasty is pronounced "ching", not "kwing". Regardless, thanks for the informative videos you release.

This was really good so many people oversimplify the situation as being "well if Russia would have taken Ukraine then China would have immediately gone after Taiwan", completely forgetting that the Taiwan situation is vastly more complicated.

Taiwan's history began about 400 years ago when Dutch people landed Taiwan and set up the first government in Taiwan. Today about 90 % of the families of the citizens in Taiwan settled down before ww2 when Japanese ruled the island.
After world war 2, the representatives from 48 countries gathered in San Francisco and signed the Treaty of Peace with Japan. According to the international treaty, Japan only gave up the sovereignty over Taiwan but Japan never gave Taiwan to any country including China. Any other county pretending to claim over Taiwan is obviously illegal and should be condemned.
When we talk about the history, we should not ignore the fact that about 90% of the families in Taiwan had settled down in Taiwan before ww2 and only focus on 10 % of the families in Taiwan who followed Chiang- kai- shek fleeing China to Taiwan!

Saying China invading Taiwan is like saying ur dad is invading ur room……

[theanimethirst]

If China does invade Taiwan I will definitely be volunteering to defending Taiwan

[nirvana]

The Taiwan controversy is complicated. Everything will not have a result until Taiwan's general election in 2024

[blacksanto]

*Summary* Will China invade Taiwan? : *maybe*

[zhubajie]

*This is nothing new that the U.S. would defend Taiwan* if they can't provide for sufficient self-defense from a PRC attack. The Taiwan Relations Act (Public Law 96-8, 22 U.S.C. 3301 et seq.) has been U.S. policy since 1979 and states (Sec. 3 point 1), the U.S. will provide "defense articles and defense services in such quantity as may be necessary to enable Taiwan to maintain a sufficient self-defense capability." Defense services could include anything from supplying manuals to supplying United States military forces(hence the ambiguity). That the U.S. wouldn't supply military forces if Taiwan's defenses were not sufficient to provide said self-defense capability would be a violation of the TRA.

How Taiwan provokes China
1. deal with diseases from China
2. deal with its own historical atrocities (white terror)
3. deal with its people within a democracy

How China provokes Taiwan
1. start the First Taiwan Strait Crisis
2. start the Second Taiwan Strait Crisis
3. start the Third Taiwan Strait Crisis

[monicajoseph]

To these questions:
1. China will NOT invade Taiwan.
2. The US will defend Taiwan in any case an invasion happens.

there is no “1992 consensus” the person who created the term admitted to making it up

[jermynmatthew]

What I fear the most is that when another world war will start in Asia... can we do it space though? like lightyears away from the Earth...so we won't go extinct

[thihuonggiangnguyen]

And one more thing: Taiwan is not that weak!

[PuffySofty]

5:39 A note here, technically speaking, the 14 countries do not recognize "Taiwan" as a sovereign country, they recognize the "Republic of China" as THE one China.

If 🇨🇳 govt officials can be on 🇺🇸 social media platforms even though 🇨🇳 does not allow access to them, then 🇺🇸 govt officials can be with 🇹🇼 politicians even though 🇺🇸 has no official relations with them

[hingyuchan]

The main reason of Cpc want Tai wan is TSMC. Because China did not hv any technology to create a small semiconductor chip like taiwan did.

Also, the main reason of Taiwan reject the one country two political systems is due to Tai wan see how bad china treat hong kong.

[amirakabaniMMA]

What about the taiwan resrves of fish and gas? I thought this were the main reasons economicly speaking

[emanuelsaul]

America have no chance
