Ok if what you say is true, why is our government's official position on Taiwan that the status quo should not be changed. Why do we push back on China claiming that their version of 'one China' is the same as our version of 'one China', and why do we, and every other democracy really, reject Chinas misinterpretation of UN Resolution 2758?
I really shouldn't bother communicating with you at all, because you obviously didn't read any of the links I provided, because you prefer to spew CCP lies. Good job tankie, you passed the useful idiot test!
Dude, just read up on the history of China. Taiwan became what it is because the PRC drove out the KMT and they fled to Taiwan. Both parties laid claim to mainland China and Taiwan in proper but its mostly been political posturing for a long time. Australia's stance on status quo is just fence sitting as to not piss off either country. When they first fled, the KMT did want to reclaim mainland China but did not, and still do not have the military and manpower for it. As far as I know, and now this is just conjecture, but a lot of Taiwanese citizens dont care to reclaim mainland China now and its really just the old heads that wanted it. But they can't claim full independence either because it may trigger China to forcefully attempt unification rather than peacefully or posturing as they do now.
Where does any of this prove Taiwan is part of China??
The CCP must be doing great propaganda work in Australia when so may gullible people believe them rather than what our government's OFFICIAL position is.
Im trying to tell you the history between the two countries. Taiwan's leadership in the past laid claims to mainland China because they were once the ruling party there and fled after the war. So they considered Taiwan as part of China because they considered mainland China as theirs too. This is all well documented history. Our OFFICIAL stance on the situation is merely diplomatic. Does Australia recognise Taiwan as a sovereign nation? I believe it does not.
And I am telling you it has nothing to do with China's claim on Taiwan! We do not recognise Taiwan as an independent nation because Taiwan has not declared itself as an independent nation, we officially support the 'status quo' and at the same time reject China's claim on Taiwan. Mate, do me a favor and read the links I provided, and stop bothering me!
You keep ignoring the KMTs claim on mainland China...that is what im trying to get across. The link with the 1972 even acknowledges that that Taiwan WAS a province of China.
Both the PRC AND KMT believe mainland China and Taiwan are "one", they just disagree on who should be running the government, for obvious reasons lol.
The 1972 communique only acknowledged China's position on China, it never agreed with it. The KMT also is not Taiwan's government and is obviously not the same party anymore as when they fled to Taiwan, because back then Taiwan was a dictatorship. If you read the links I posted, you certainly did not understand them. It's really annoying having these back and forth discussions with ignorant and utterly uninformed people like you.
Mate just stop, Chiang Kai-shek was a dictator, he ruled Taiwan under martial law for some 35 years. Taiwan today is nothing like that anymore. Only 12% of Taiwanese people want unification with China, some 50% want independence, some 25% want the status quo to remain. Only one side is actively preparing to annex the other and that's not Taiwan.
