Taiwan under international law

The internationally established definition of state relies on the 1933 Montevideo Convention. The "four requirements of the nation" are widely recognized in the international community and have established themselves as customary international law. → Myth of international law → Taiwan is also an independent state under international law

Under international law, Taiwan is an independent nation. If the Chinese Communist Party uses force against Taiwan, it violates the UN Charter.

Probably kept it after realizing there is no way in hell they are going to be aired in China. Cause you know. US Navy is awesome

Good for Top Gun not buying CPP’s silliness. I hope other Hollywood producers follow suit

[ilovemint]

To be honest, if China really consider Taiwan part of the country, then they shouldn't be upset that the Taiwan flag is being shown on the movie, they should be very proud of it since they self proclaim that Taiwan is part of China.

[ishaankumar]

Chinese are pissed and probably will not allow to release because they show taiwan flag in jacket in the movie which was initially removed in trailer

[teenyverse]

Oh no...can't offend the CCP. lol

As the conflict with the United States continued, a movie depicting the fierce battle with the United States in the Korean War recorded the highest box office revenue in history in China.

The box office revenue of the movie "Battle at Lake Changjin" released in September exceeded 100 billion yen on the 24th, becoming the top in history.

The Chinese government has also recommended this film, and screenings for soldiers and students are being held in various places.

Those who watched the movie: "I admire their spirit of eating buns (in the snow) and fighting."

Meanwhile, posts criticizing the content of the movie have been deleted, and a man who questioned "the legitimacy of war" has been detained for "insulting a hero."

The number one box office revenue so far was "Wolf Warrior 2", which was the source of "Wolf Warrior Diplomacy" which means a strong foreign stance.

A movie of the war with the United States made by China

A big miscalculation of the government that a Chinese propaganda movie has caused an unexpected reaction

Wednesday, October 20, 2021 12:02

<The movie "The Battle at Lake Changjin, " which is based on the famous battle of the Korean War, was a big hit, but at the same time, it caused an unexpected reaction from the audience.>

During this year's National Day, the patriotic movie "The Battle at Lake Changjin" was a big hit in China. The movie was produced in line with the government's will, and as a result of mobilizing all the schools and organizations in each region, the box office record exceeded 4 billion yuan (71 billion yen) on the 11th day of its release. It is said to be part of propaganda with the United States as relations between the United States and China deteriorate.

The subject of the movie is the famous battle of the Korean War, "Battle of Chosin Reservoir (Battle of Chosin Reservoir)". Seventy-one years ago, in November 1950, the PLA, renamed the People's Volunteer Army of China, did not succumb to any hardships on the battlefield of the Korean War and praised the greatness of repelling the US army with human-wave tactics. Innumerable rows of Chinese soldiers in a cold battlefield at 40 degrees below freezing freeze like a group of ice sculptures-the audience was shaken and patriotic by the movie that recreated the harsh battlefield. It also aroused curiosity about the history of the Korean War.

A nuisance happened here. Historical materials such as testimonies of war-experienced people and documentary films made by the United States were dug up by interested audiences and shared a lot on Chinese SNS.

The Korean War was an American war of aggression, and there was an attempt to invade China after Korea. Therefore, it has been taught in Chinese schools that China's participation in the war is a battle of justice for the "anti-Beauty dynasty, Hoya Guardian". However, this is not always the case when looking at historical materials.

First, the war began when North Korea invaded South Korea. If so, is China's aid to North Korea, which has invested more than 2.4 million troops, justice? Is it a victory to survive the dictatorship in exchange for the lives of hundreds of thousands of young Chinese? The sacrifice of Chinese soldiers who died in the Battle of Chosin Reservoir instead of being killed in action brought the North Koreans a life of inconvenience and poverty, not a free and affluent life. There is nothing more sad than this.

In the wake of the release on the Chinese internet, criticisms began to appear against the Korean troop dispatch. However, posts were deleted one after another, and a famous journalist who criticized the movie was arrested for hero insult.

Today's China is sometimes ironic as "West Korea." It means a dangerous existence like North Korea. It is quite possible to attack Taiwan, the "Southern Islet, " with the unspoken consent of Russia, the "Northern Power, " as if it were North Korea 71 years ago. History repeats itself.

Battle of Chosin Reservoir
The battle during the Korean War that took place near Lake Nagatsu in what is now central North Korea from November to December 1950. For the first time, the Chinese army, which participated in the battle to regain the battlefield, and the UN army, mainly the US military, engaged in battle. The Chinese army, which surrounded the US military, also suffered a large number of deaths due to lack of warm clothing and food.

Spider-Man No Way Home is banned in China because of Sony refused to edit it for the Chinese government, if it was up to Disney, they would have been very happy to edit it for Chinese money.

Japan's support for Ukraine "Green Ukraine"

In the Russian Revolution of 1917, the Romanov dynasty, which had been abdicated by Nicholas II and lasted for about 300 years, collapsed. After that, the birth of the Soviet government aiming to establish a socialist nation will increase the momentum for independence among ethnic minorities such as Ukraine.
It was
Two revolutions that took place in Russia in 1917, the "February Revolution" that rebelled against the previous tsarism (absolute monarchy by the emperor) and the "October Revolution" that led to the establishment of a socialist state.

Ukrainians in the Russian Far East have begun a struggle to establish autonomy. The Ukrainian Far East Conference will be held in Ussuriysk in June 1917, forming a council (Kray Rada).
It was
At the second meeting in Khabarovsk in January 1918, Green Ukraine was declared as part of the Ukrainian state, after which it became known as the "Green Ukraine Republic", the "Far East Ukraine Immigrant Government" and so on.
It was
At the third meeting in April 1918, a young 36-year-old engineer, Yuri Glushko-Mova, was elected as chairman of the council, considering the creation of an independent Ukrainian state, and in the summer, General Borys R. Khreschatytsky. The Ukrainian Army of the Far East (with more than 5, 000 troops) was organized as the commander, and a draft constitution was drafted at the 4th meeting in October of the same year.

In the summer of 1919, the council paved the way for an armed struggle against the Korczak administration, which ruled the region. In response, most Ukrainian leaders were arrested at the behest of Primorsky Krai Governor General Rosanov.
It was
Under these circumstances, the Far Eastern Republic of the Bolsheviks was established in April 1920 as a buffer state for Russia and Japan. The Far Eastern Republic recognized the autonomy of Green Ukraine, but the Far Eastern Ukrainian army was disarmament.
It was
However, when Japan withdrew from Siberia in 1922, the Far Eastern Republic lost its raison d'etre and was integrated into the Russian Soviet Union Socialist Republic. Here, the dream of the founding of Green Ukraine was destroyed.

After that, when Japan embarked on the establishment of Manchuria in 1932, Japan planned to establish a Ukrainian state in the coastal states as a buffer state with Russia, and in July 1937 it was called the "Far East Ukrainian Development and Development Movement". Formed a political organization. However, the group was viewed by the Soviet Union and Ukrainians as a Japanese spy group, and when the Pacific War broke out in 1941, Japan abandoned this plan and abandoned support for Ukrainians in the Far East.
It was
In this way, the people of Ukraine have been "required to serve as a buffer between Russia and neighboring countries" not only in Europe but also in the Far East. If you were a neighbor, what would happen to the international community surrounding Japan today?
It was
One thing I can say is that they were "closer" than we thought. Perhaps our neighbors, they are now bravely fighting to protect the country from unjustified invaders in isolated and unaided lands in remote Eastern Europe.

I think it would be okay to come up with bolder support measures, such as welcoming Ukrainian refugees who have lost their way to Japan. In the long run, I think that such humanitarian assistance "will lead to true national interests."
It was

Nowadays, I think there were many nodules that led Russia to a democratic nation after the collapse of the Soviet Union. It is important for the international community to "know that it is at that turning point" and "to come up with effective measures without losing timing", and it is too late to speak out after things happen.

Japan needs to work with the United States to deter Taiwan from invading China's strengthening. Solving the problem of colonial rule of the Chinese Communist Party in Tibet, Uighur and Inner Mongolia. And the need for cooperation with Japan, the United States, Europe and the east for Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

We are currently working with the United States and Japan, Taiwan, Europe, the East, Australia, South Korea Asia and the Pacific, Saudi Arabia and Israel. And the battle between Russia and the Chinese Communist Party, North Korea, and Iran.

The United States, Japan and Europe support Ukraine. Defending Ukraine, the decline of authoritarian Russia.

If Taiwan, an independent nation, can be protected and the colonies of Inner Mongolia, Tibet, and Uighurs can be liberated, the Chinese Communist Party will collapse.

In Asia, the threat from the authoritarian state of China's communism requires further cooperation with the United States, Japan, Taiwan, Australia, and Pacific countries.

In Europe, from the threat of Russia, the need for further cooperation with the United States, NATO, Japan and Ukraine.

In the Middle East, the threat of Iran requires the United States to further cooperate with Saudi Arabia, Israel and the Middle East countries. Saudi Arabia will then support the United States by further expanding its oil supply and lowering energy prices.
