Taiwan is a beautiful country
Thanks again for those who joined us for the livestream. For those just catching up - since our talk 18 hours ago, China has started two days of military drills around the island as "punishment" for what it calls "separatist acts" following the inauguration of the new Taiwanese president, Lai Ching-te. The story continues to develop!
Yeah, terrible. Nobody in Taiwan is lunaticking out about China's president, leader, etc. Just crying China.
Thanks for the update and in depth stories/chat I really like these interactive formats. Good to see you and Clifford and the others joining the table! I'll see if I can catch it live next time.
It's funny how this topic of Taiwan being a country or not still continues. You'd imagine by now there'd be some more clear cut definitions as to what defines a country so we wouldn't have these silly arguments. Some countries can decide on their own to recognise a country or not shows that the world has a long way to cooperate well with each other. In some way the fact that there are no very clear rules to when we can start calling a country as a country might be an issue in and of itself
PRC never set foot on Taiwan. This is PROOF that ROC in Taiwan has always been separate and independent from the PRC. Mao failed twice to invade Taiwan. Our victories in Kinmen already solidified Taiwan’s separation & independence from the PRC.
就这次打败了我一样卷土重来别说两次了,
That's no such country as Taiwan, but ROC (republic of China), yes
Hongkong's area code: +852, mainland China: +86. But HK is part of China.
Maybe Europeans should sent their military force to protect Taiwan since u guys care Taiwan so much
They already are doing just that with regular international naval are air patrols.
Loosing Taiwan can be catastrophic to EU since they need semiconductors for defense and everything
@@vegikid100 You're replying to a paid Internet Army 50 cent who doesn't know tenses. It's a typical vague threat by a rogue regime paper lion whose tactics calls for total warfare starting with disinformation campaign. We are STRONG. So STRONG you should consider what opposing us means. That's basically what he said. When you break it down you will see it's an empty threat. How "strong" they are will be put on the world stage should they choose armed conflict.

There is no doubt that Taiwan is a genuine democratic sovereign country.
地球上有台湾这个国家?把脑子治一下
Legally it is not. And if now the West suddenly clames to change it without PRC concsent, that means war. The majority of Taiwanese do not want war, they want status qua. But the West wants the war, and that is the main problem.
Democracy by being pro America?
That's interference. If you want freedom, do it on your own not heavy external influence.
那为什么你们的政府不承认台湾是一个主权独立的国家?
Taiwan is never a countr. The sovereighty of mainland China and Taiwan (an island of China) is belong to China. The dispute is that Taiwan and mainland China are still in the civil war. The dispute is who own the sovereighty between ROC and PRC. So Taiwan is never a country.
It’s a battle between autocracy and democracy world.
What’s the difference between autocracy and democracy nowadays?
Exactly, I wonder which side Taiwan is on, as it is a pawn for a country that arrests people for peaceful protest against genocide.
What is clear in the "Taiwanese constitution" is that Taiwan is the administrative province (with the capital city in Taipei) of the country REPUBLIC OF CHINA (ROC) that claims sovereignty over the whole of mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Tibet, and the "11 dash lines" of South China Sea, as well as various claims in the East China Sea including the Senkaku Islands/Diaoyudao, whole of Yellow Sea, etc.
Until Taiwan formally changes its constitution and declares independence, the "Taiwan problem" is indeed an internal affair of China between the CCP (in China that is the de jure government of the day) and the Taiwanese government (in Taiwan that is the government-in-exile).
The current framing and narrative in the West is disingenuous, and is subverting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of China be it interpreted from the perspective of China/CCP or Taiwan.
He will make first Mecha Gundams to fight off mega corporations and aliens using new Intel quantum chips.
We Taiwanese struggle to survive to the end.
What’s Germany stance in this conflict ? Is the conflict any thing to do with Germany?
The people of Taiwan are the brothers of Germany,thats why!
Germany is a US economic colony. It has also been colonized militarily by the USA since the end of WWlI. In essence, Germany's stance is that of the USA. Just as the countries like Ukraine, The president of Taiwan is.. not to mention every G7 country. How these countries can submit, give up their freedom, democracy, economies, and cultural identity to the USA is tragic.
🇹🇼💪
Can you please stop saying Re- unification. It was never unified wilth PRC.
That's true
Taiwan once belonged to China. Check your facts.
When your only argument is semantics . . .
What about the german reunification then? West German was never unified with East Germany prior to that either.
Why not? It is part of Chinese history. German should not get involved. If Taiwan wants independence, they need to proof they can win the war. This is just pragmatic reply from me.
It’s not a battle about China with Taiwan it’s with the US
Taiwan has never been part of Communist ruled China. Nor do they ever want to be.
No it isn't. USA isn't Taiwan nor Chinese nor was ever in china or fled from China. Your statement is ludicrous.

If Taiwan is not progressive, productive and do not produce chips that needed by the world high tech industry. Does China is interested to unify or invade Taiwan?? Taiwan for many decades stood alone, economically stable, give freedom to its citizens, have democratic policies. Have peace and order, good foreign relationship with many countries etc etc. Why should Taiwan allows China to unify them. Look what happen in Hongkong.
If Taiwan was another failed state like North Korea, China would probably just leave Taiwan alone.
You can remove all these. We don't need them. It's not that we can't make chips, but the technology is almost poor. There were no chips in Taiwan Province 20 years ago.
Taiwan is an independent country,
who told you that?
I just want to ask how much of your people's economy is still needed to support Taiwan, because you have supported the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and the conflict between Palestine and Israel. Are you supporting the conflict between China and Taiwan?
Yes
Just peanuts!
@@brunoheggli2888 Pee Nuts peeee NUTS P-NUTS I liked it very catchy. PEEEEE NUTS🥜🥜.
The "One China Policy" is a diplomatic acknowledgment by countries that there is only one Chinese government. This policy asserts that the People's Republic of China (PRC) is the sole legal government of China, and that Taiwan is a part of China.
In the context of the United Nations, the One China Policy is reflected in the UN General Assembly Resolution 2758, adopted on October 25, 1971. This resolution recognized the PRC as "the only legitimate representative of China to the United Nations" and expelled the representatives of the Republic of China (ROC), which is the government based in Taiwan, from the UN. This resolution effectively transferred the UN seat from the ROC to the PRC.
Selective belief 😂😂😂
The ROC also recognises the one China policy. They see themselves as the sole government in exile of ALL of China.
China is living in a world of make believe.
Everything in China's government's data is a lie, PLA capabilities to invade Taiwan is a lie, even Xi Jin-ping don't believe PLA capabilities.
Everything you said here are wrong: (1) policy means it can be changed or modified as needed, (2) USA and most it’s democratic allies who also adapt “one China policy” do acknowledge there,s only one China, however, they asserted that Taiwan is not part of China (though they “acknowledge” that China has claimed that Taiwan is part of China) Anyone who master English must know the difference between “acknowledge” vs. “agree”or “accept.” (3) UN assembly 2758 resolution only dealt with the question which government should represent the mainland China, it said absolutely nothing about Taiwan’s legal status at all( USA and it’s allies specifically brought this issue to secretary of UN that they totally reject his interpretations of 2758 resolution. Since then, US government repeated it’s position on this matter, (4) PRC ‘s ownership of it spot in UN has absolutely nothing to do with Taiwan’ legal state as an independent country.
I should also emphasize that people need to understand the difference between “one China principle” (which PRC has tried very hard to impose on all countries) vs “one China policy” (which USA leads the free world adapt). The latter means that the country which adapt the “one China policy” accepts the fact there’s only one China but it doesn’t accept that Taiwan is part of China. Meantime the country also take a position not to recognize Taiwan (also known as Republic of China, ROC) as an independent country. That being said. More than 145 countries in the world not only accept Taiwan’s passport but also grants its passport holder to enter their countries without visa. Most people who doesn’t follow Taiwan-China conflict closely won’t have noticed the difference between “one China policy” vs. “one China principle.”
when war breakout will unit state and its alliance sent troop to taiwan?
One China policy: one China, one Taiwan.
You know that the offical name is Republic of China ? No, right ?
@@randyraudi7725Eh, the Republic of China is pretty much gone, the only reason it’s still around is because of the constitution, the government doesn’t own China anymore, the only reason they haven’t change the constitution is because China will be very upset if we do that

Taiwan has never been part of Communist ruled China. Nor do they ever want to be.
We should avoid referring to the government in charge of the mainland as “China”, and instead refer to it as the “PRC”.
As a technical matter, as long as most countries have agreed to the “One China” policy, we need to distinguish between China the nation and the PRC the state. A state is the governing authority and the reality is that there are two states, the PRC and the ROC, that govern two different areas of China. It matters not how many countries recognize the ROC and have diplomatic relationship. The reality is that the nation-state of the Republic of China exists.
Whether we recognize it or not, there are two states just like there was an East and West Germany, and even now there is North Korea and South Korea. The only difference is the magnitude of the imbalance between the size of the two states. Obviously the PRC is in control over the mainland, and the ROC governs the island of Taiwan.
The US agreed that ROC is part of China, but it did not say that it is part of the PRC. Read the agreement and you will find nothing that says that the ROC is part of the PRC. The US agreed to move the diplomatic relationship to the PRC because the reality is that the government in Beijing is in control of the mainland. However obviously this move does not erase the existence of the ROC.
The PRC never governed the island of Taiwan. The island of Taiwan was part of the Chinese Empire under the Ching Dynasty until China became the Republic of China. Today, Taiwan remains under the government of the Republic of China. It is the PRC, the Communist government in Beijing that refuses to end the civil war against the Republic of China.
Let’s be clear that an “independent” Taiwan means that it becomes the Republic of Taiwan and makes no claim to any other part of China. The Republic of China is already an independent nation-state.
The U.S. position is that these two states should find a way to unify peacefully, and it opposes any effort to force the Chinese people living in the island of Taiwan to come under the authority of the Communist Party. Since the ROC has become a democracy, it becomes a moral question on whether other democracies should tolerate the extinguishing of a flourishing Chinese democracy.
Not even sure if Hypersonic weapons are needed in this scenario. Distance is too short and the area defended is tight. Seems like a waste like Russia’s use in Ukraine. Spending multiples more in $$$ to get same desired effect.
Taiwan is an island. But ROC is not. There is a mainland part that belongs to ROC that is not part of Taiwan island, and it cannot defend itself. DW news has no neutrality or objectivity in this one.
Guys les say the truth : why Germany don’t recognize Taiwan ? Start with this mate ! Why never say the real name of it : Republic of a china ( aka Taiwan ). 😂😂😂😂. So?
I sincerely doubt these hosts/experts have read any serious books about the history of Taiwan. They should be sent to the front line when war breaks out. They simply speak out of their emotions, trying to create another Ukraine.
...lost the plot at the comment about Tsai's sex. that is not what this is about. It's about millions free, prosperous people of Han ancestry barely 100 miles away that threatens the CCP.... stop projecting Western cultural baggage if you actually want to understand the problem.
This TV show makes me feel like a high school debate class. So childish!
Strategic placement of the bat phone
The key is that they're forcing the bills to pass. The DPP would have no idea what are in the Bills and have nothing to say.
HK was the example 😮😮😮
Really? The bill is about how the government spends tax payers money. Dpp doesn't want to report to the Hill, due to most of the money spent goes to their own pocket.
You cannot discuss Taiwan's war preparation without analyzing the military forces in mainland China.
The One China Policy is significant in international relations, particularly because it influences how countries and international organizations interact with Taiwan. Most countries, including the United States and members of the European Union, adhere to the One China Policy, refraining from establishing official diplomatic relations with Taiwan while maintaining unofficial ties.
In summary, the One China Policy within the United Nations framework means recognizing the PRC as the sole legal government of China, which affects Taiwan's participation and representation in international organizations.
Don't worry, international relations changes all the time

Half an hour into the video and they haven't even started the topic at hand. What nonsense.
It's so unfortunate that this rountable discussion is all over the place and chaotic.Never stays on topic, jumps around and every time the commentary is about to go deeper than surface level, there is a switch again. With such a critical topic (that people think they know, but in reality very few westerners actually know the background on) - starting with a baseline would make a lot of sense. Bringing in random videos w/o any background is also not helpful. One of the many examples is the randon video & mention of the sunflower movement. It was a critical point and major shift in Taiwan's society and it's approach towards PRC - dont mention it and show 5 images on it if you then do not take the time to explain it. With so many contributers, this program could have been so much better, if only ut had structure and direction.

Very interesting. But it's too long in our quick times we live in
The only way we gain insight, however, is to listen to longer conversations.
China and Taiwan had a peaceful relationship for decades until Tsai-Ing-Wen came on board in 2016. US has an interest to keep the pressure on China and Taiwan is a good thorn on China’s back. Despite the western world’s hyping up war across Taiwan Strait, most people in Taiwan do not believe such thing. However, it’s common for high level officers in Taiwan to send their children to US or other countries.
Totally agreed.
Taiwan gonna be able to defend itself by enable to attack China or they facing the same situation that Ukrainians not being able to defend themselves correctly?
What is the current opinion as to why China has not already invaded Taiwan? Is it due to the USA? Is it due to Russia attacking Ukraine? Is it something else?
The only reason why China has not invaded Taiwan is because China don't think Taiwan its enemy.
They are not ready, they dont believe they can easily win.
@@VGK4EVER They are very ready they are just being nice.
Xi is the most soft leader to Taiwan. He's strong to USA, but not to his own people. Thinking about he had lived in the poorest county in China for 7 years, sleep in a cave. That experience made him , good to people, tough to Rich
Because the PRC does not want to invade. They want pieceful unification in a couple of hundred years. Till then they are perfectly fine with status quo. But the USA is not.
It's in China's best interest to keep the peace.

Why is there so many pro Palestinian but no pro Taiwanese seems like the youth or far anything just picks and chooses
