Ukraine, Taiwan, and the New World Order-Part Three (February 2022)

 Ukraine, Taiwan, and the New World Order-Part Three

The Chinese Communist Party destroyed the rights and freedoms of the individual Chinese. Almost as importantly, they destroyed the Chinese civilization that went back thousands of years. The CCP did this in ten years' time. 

So obviously no one should be an apologist for the totalitarian CCP. However, in regards to the Taiwan, they do have a legitimate point. The Taiwanese government have yet to renounce ROC (Republic Of China) status. This means technically and figuratively speaking that the "Chinese Civil War" has not ended in as much as the Korean War between North and South Korea has never ended. In both "Wars", a cessation of hostilities and ceasefire has ensued for seven decades but there was never a final resolution.

Even the people on the Chinese mainland, who have affinity for the Taiwanese, acknowledge that Taiwan is a province that is only pretending to act independently. Even the main opposition party in Taiwan is pro-reunification provided mainland China is democratically governed.

This post is not to say that Taiwan, like Hong Kong or Macau, should be incorporated into the People's Republic Of China. There are valid arguments that Taiwan should be recognized as its own full-fledged sovereign nation. However, since America continues to defend and arm Taiwan, this has only delayed the inevitable. Both Taiwan and the CCP need to bilaterally discuss their relationship and status just like the two Korean nations need to do so. Only then can final resolution be reached.

Chinese national law does not generally apply in Hong Kong, and it is treated as a separate jurisdiction despite the fact Hong Kong was handed over to the PRC twenty-five years ago. Just like Hong Kong operates under the "one country, two systems" principle, Taiwan could operate under the same if they were no longer attempting to be a sovereign nation.

The final status will never be determined unless the PRC and Taiwan bilaterally try to work this out without third party undue influences.
