      Just to add, Arunachal Pradesh was controlled by India in 1951 but is claimed by China and India. So you could use a dashed line to put it in India. In the Map it is shown as part of China. Sikkim also did not join India until 1975.

US?) to detect it. With how random AI judgments are, it might be "lucky pants effect", whereas, for example, just mentioning "war" would give you 5% chance of getting demonetized.

    The fact that the US upgraded the ROC Sabre fleet with the new heatseeking Sidewinder missile, a brand new kind of guided air to air weapon, and used it against agile MiGs over the strait to gain advantage over them, yet one of the Winders was a dud and stuck on the tail of a PLA MiG during the battle, so after the battle, obviously the PLA sent the dud missile to the Russians for study and made the Russians start to design their own version of the Sidewinder,

    My grandpa was a ROCA junior officer who evacuated from Da-Chen island. My roommate during my graduate school years were also from a family evacuated from Da-Chen island during the first Taiwan Striate Crisis. To a lot of people in Taiwan, both crises are very relevant memory (not just stories/history). My grandpa just passed away last year and I missed him while watching this video. Nice work and hope you make another video on the 3rd Taiwan Striate Crisis (1996).

      New York was “New Orange” when Manhattan was reconquered by the Dutch. So what? Learn some history. The area that now comprises Saigon was originally part of the Champa Empire until about 1145 when the Khmers took over. They held the area for another 500 years or so, but Saigon was nothing more than a fishing village then called Prey Nokor.

    My grandfather told me there was a ship where a military meeting was held, before the crisis started. My grandfather was a military advisor that came to Taiwan with the KMT, he was going to be on that meeting, but he wanted a family life so he quit the armies. The ship was later bombed and everyone died on the ship.
    Funny enough, my grandfather's brother, became a delivery boy for Zhou Enlaihigh during the civil war, and later even become a people's representative.
    Its so sad even time I read modern Chinese history. Millions died for ideology difference, all for a few man's power.

    Can you do either a video or a series on the Congo Crisis and it took place between July 5th 1960 and November 25th 1965 and this crisis was a proxy conflict in the Cold War and it saw around 100,000 people killed and among the people killed was Dag Hammarskjöld the second secretary general of the United Nations and he was killed on his way to ceasefire negotiations and the crisis saw many battles and sieges and among them was the siege of Jadotville where 150 troops of Company A 35th battalion held out against a force of 3,000-5,000 mercenaries and the Irish forces surrendered and lived in shame until 2005 when the Irish Army pardoned the company for their surrender and more recently in the 2010s events changed for the better as in 2016 they were awarded a presidential unit citation which was the first in the history of the state of Ireland and in October 2017 a plaque commemorating the commander of the Irish troops was unveiled by former Irish Taoiseach Enda Kenny and then on December 2nd 2017 company A was presented with newly designed siege of Jadotville medals which is only issued to the members of Company A 35th Battalion who fought in the siege.

    The CCP and the KMT were in civil war both before and after the defeat of the Japanese in WW2. It did not "erupt" following it. The civil war was from 1 August 1927 until 7 December 1949.

      The civil war was paused in 1936, following a coup, whereby Chiang signed the national contract to resist the Japanese. He be negated that following the defeat of Japanese at the behest of American war agenda.

    It actually seems quite likely that the PRC didn’t actually want to take the Kinmen islands (and Chiang Kai Shek understood this) as these and the Matsu islands are Taiwan’s last link to the mainland. If these fell then the Chinese people might not see the point of going further (for context, Formosa had been part of Japan for a long time and had few links with the Chinese mainland).

      But Chiang Kai Shek and all those that follow him are from mainland and got nothing to do with Japanese occupation period of Taiwan.
      The truth is people in Taiwan are split between both KMT and Communist, but when Chiang Kai Shek ran to Taiwan he basically force them submit to his ideology. That why dark history of White Horror happen it done to eliminate all supporter of communist ideology.

    If we use the history of the America to explain the relationship between Taiwan and the Mainland, it is like the relationship between the North and the South in the American Civil War. The difference is that the Northern Union, which represented orthodoxy, was defeated in the war and retreated to Alaska at the head of its army and government, while the South occupied the entire United States, and the war between the two sides has never stopped, with both sides claiming to be orthodox.
    This is also the status quo of Taiwan and mainland, a China that is democratic and has Chinese orthodoxy, and a China whose legitimacy of rule by the Communist Party is questioned but very powerful. Both deny the sovereignty of the other, both claim full sovereignty over the mainland, Taiwan and the South China Sea, but both compromise on their right to govern, engage in "unofficial friendly exchanges" and trade practices, but it all falls apart. Hate propaganda from mainland-hating Taiwanese, U.S. hostility and China's economic depression have the CCP in hysterics, only God knows if the civil war that began without an armistice 70 years ago will return. ....

It was so bad that people preferred japanese rule over the ROC for a time.

      The massacres of Taiwan's aborigines were caused by early Han Chinese settlers and later by Imperial Japan's "Qingxiang" operations. Japan's "Clear the Countryside" operations were designed to suppress aboriginal resistance to its rule. The Japanese killed thousands, if not tens of thousands, of people in each operation, including not only the rebel fighters but also their families. The most famous was the "Kirisha Incident". The behavior of the Han Chinese settlers was purer and more evil. They occupied the land and killed all the aborigines. They even boiled the meat and bones of the aborigines to make "pango chili sauce" for consumption and then sold them to the Mainland. They believed that eating the "savage" aborigines would make them better. It made them healthier and could even make their genitals stronger. In contrast to these evil acts, the ROC government did not slaughter the aborigines. Almost all of those killed during martial law were Han Chinese who had been assimilated by the Japanese. They were arrested and "disappeared" by the government for sympathizing with the Communists and for their contempt and hatred of the Kuomintang. In stark contrast, the aborigines were trusted and heavily integrated into the military, and in order to educate the poor aborigines their high school entrance exam scores were raised, which also caused resentment among the Han Chinese people.
      This incident is actually very ironic and sickening. The real "Taiwan" Pingdi 16 and Takayama were massacred by the Han Chinese and suppressed by the Japanese and their auxiliary forces. After the defeat of the Japanese, the Han Chinese began to claim that they were the aborigines of Taiwan, the true owners of the island, and hated their "compatriots" who had retreated to Taiwan in 1949. However, the "aborigines" did not hold these latercomers There was a special hostility. Today, the aborigines, whose blood and culture are still very pure, live only in the mountains of eastern Taiwan and in the southernmost part of the island. They are calm, gentle and fond of music, which contrasts sharply with the hate-filled and unashamed Han Chinese.

    Another great documentary. Thank you. I was unaware until now of the extent of American intervention between Taiwan and the mainland.
    Unfortunately, you as many others do not accurately describe the differences between the nationalists and communists. Even those two names cloud the issue. This is to be somewhat forgiven as the various states of China in the early twentieth century were extremely complex.
    At their beginning the Nationalists were quite socialistic with relatively minor differences between them and Mao's communists. But as time went on both groups morphed away from their original forms.
    What is not talked about much is the effect of the various colonial powers on much of Asia, and how that influenced everyones reactions from Japan onwards. Even now the western world still has considerable influence in Asia and it's politics.

      1.) Korea War convince the Americans that Red China is a Huge threat so they back-up ROC in Taiwan.
      2.) Vietnam War happen because America becomes Paranoid of other Communist State in Asia that is near China that will be surely align with China and USSR.
      But the one who make this Problem is the American themselves the root cause is abandonment of American to ROC in Chinese Civil War.
      1.) They Fucking forced ROC to ceasefire and negotiate peace with CCP when ROC forces has Finaly cornered Communist Forces in Manchuria giving Breathing Room the Communist Forces and Time to Re-Arm , Re-Supply and Re-Align there Troops .
      2.) Also America Limit the Military Aid too ROC because KMT Goverment don't want to form Coalition Goverment with CCP which the Americans Stupidly Pushing while CCP is Continiously Aided by USSR in the whole Civil War Happening also KMT knew that CCP is not really interested in Forming Coalition Goverment between them because Communist only goal is to Rule Alone Undemocratically.
