Saw it on the news one time, Taiwanese ship rolled up to Diaoyutai, and forgot to bring a 🇹🇼 flag. They brought a 🇨🇳 flag instead 🤣🤣

this video was so helpful!! thank you so much, I loved it.

Very well made video! I don't mean to tell you how to do your job, but from the very beginning I was waiting for the "why" of it. Maybe explaining why before going into the details could be a better idea. Anyway, subscribed and excited to see more content from you!

This helped my project so much man, Thank You VERY much!

Wow so much more complicated than I’d realized!! Thanks for the brilliant vid!

Real shame you don't have nearly as many viewers as you deserve But I'm certain your future is bright! :)

Wonderful vid. Audio too quiet but otherwise awesome.

A fairly unbiased summary of the issue. Good job!

I just found your channel and your content is great!

Simple and funny drawing plus unbiased, well researched and serious content is a really good match. You deserve a lot more sub with this high quality content!

Awesome video!!!!

Loving the style. Great video on the topic also

another great video, just good info/analysis no politics 👍👍👍👍👍

This channel is very underrated.Hope it will be more popular.Best of luck 🤞

Very good video with simple, understandable explanations on a complex issue

It's nice to see the situation explained impartially. That's quite rare, especially for hotly contested stuff like this.

I live in Japan so I find this fascinating as well as Japan’s disputed islands with Korea and Russia. While there is an impasse now as neither side will give up their claim, part of the issue seems to be that the US didn’t care about these when defining “home islands” that Japan could keep control over in 1945.

This channel is like a ghetto sam o Nella academy

This channel is so UNDERRATED

Good video, we will watch your career with great interest!

Love it, Big PP

A little bit element to discuss, I think Taiwan Island and Chinese Mainland respectively under control by different regimes since 1950, not 1945. The KMT government recaptured Taiwan Island in 1945 and lost majority of Chinese mainland in 1950.

You should make another video about current situation, a lot had changed in 2020 that make 2 decades of history less relevant. You point of view is refreshing, very informative as well 🙏

Very good explanation

So heart warming to see China and Taiwan be on the same side and working together

めちゃくちゃ公平な解説で感激ですわ！！ 私自身日本人ですがDiaoyu/Senkaku問題がこれほどスケールが大きい話だとは知りませんでした。東アジアはこれからもっと加熱していくでしょうから、海外の学生さんも研究対象にどうですか？(唐突な勧誘) I'm very impressed by your very impartial commentary!🥰 I am Japanese myself, but I didn't know that the Diaoyu/Senkaku issue was such a large scale and interesting story. East Asia is going to heat up even more in the future, so foreign students, why don't you make it a subject of your research? 😁

Japan also has disputes with South Korea and Russia over some islands too. So every country in the area has some kind of disputes with someone else. That is the norm in the region.

Well, it's a little bit late to mention, 2:42, PRC didn't in charge of China at 1945, ROC(now Taiwan) did. PRC was fund in 1949.

讲的非常中立，谢谢你的解说。

Well made video but I was on my laptop speakers and couldn't hear anything. It would be nice if the audio would have more volume.

Me heading into the comment section: I'm feeling brave today. Me in the comment section: not as bad as I expected.

I watched all your China related video from Hong Kong

Interesting way to see(neither like nor hate) Thanks for sharing your view

Bro u r seriously underrated

Good content

Where's that accent from?

Volume too soft (headphones recommended). Otherwise, great content!👍

The US should have kept them. They have oil, which means they are definitely US territory.

When will the border disputes between Japan and China be covered? Would love to know more about that!!

Please make some video on Indo China conflict.

Ryukyu sounds like a tasty name

Pretty much what happened. Unfortunately, most ppls just don't realize that.

Great graphix just the audio

Great vid but the audio is too low. Im at full volume

1:16 One China policy is widely acknowledged and respected by the international community and governments. It’s one of the foundations for establishing official diplomatic relations with the People’s Republic of China(PRC). So yes, the One China policy is supported by your country (the US, Germany, France, the list goes on). The Republic of China(ROC, Taiwan) is not recognized as a country in the UN. And it has no representatives in international organizations (cause it ain’t a nation). Don’t try to make it like PRC is making an ostentatious claim not supported by anyone but herself. And btw, the PRC and ROC are still in a civil war. So don’t be surprised when PRC decided to send troops to Taiwan province when they try to declare independence from China.

People keep forgot Taiwan 's proper name is Republic of China. So for both side of China : Taiwan, province of China. Also failed to mention Okinawa local are seeking independent from Japan, Japan have to appointed governor from Japan to rule Okinawa

Underated channel

Upgrade a bit, you can be on the top!! Specially the sound, its low.

Just subscribe good job

0:46 Love how he put the war flags of japan and china

Wonderful masterpiece.. Couldn't understand the lands over rainbow one was kshmr other Catalonia? Pray any viewer to enlighten

China be like, "This land belongs to Taiwan n Taiwan belongs to me."

South China Sea with everyone 🤣 I died

Well presented but audio very soft.

South Korea doesn't have issue with the island itself, but the oil fields in the brown region at 10:13 is also claimed partially by South Korea. Currently, the area isn't developed so none are actively claiming the ownership of the oil fields, but it can be another potential source of dispute in the region as the area is now included in the EEZ (naval claim) and ADIZ (sky claim) of all 4 countries along with the US carrier fleet patrolling around here.

Taking a page out of the British border drawing book I see.

As a Korean, really interesting point. The region is exactly located near Okinawa, where many merchant ships for global trade can pass and China-US power collision can occur. Also, recent days it became more difficult as the natural resources are about These islands. I want to hear the reason why you Chinese/Taiwanese and Japanese call these islands your own island. Could you leave a reply for me? I learned little about Chinese, so you can reply in Chinese too. 我是韩国人，这个领土问题我觉得很有意思。我想听你们日本人和中国人，台湾人的根据为什么这些岛是你们的领土。我会说汉语一点儿，写中文也可以。

It's not precise to call Taipei government Taiwan - the government name is called ROC - by its constitution and also its passport. ROC government right now controls Taiwan and a few islands of Fujian.

Just Make All Disputed territory into “Wild-Life-ONLY” territory with No people..!

They're not completely uninhabitable. If a few people from any one of these parties were to go there and build a house that would create a pretty indisputable claim wouldn't it?

destroy the rock before it destroys us all!

comment for the algorithm

you should try using music in these videos

A legend was born

Interesting but can hardly hear the talking.

Very Low Audi⭕⭕⭕⭕ but video is fine!!!

4:07 - incomplete map of The Japanese Empire. The Kuril Islands should've been red+white or light red color coded.

Btw, Taiwan call itself as "Republic of China". And there is no doubt this island belongs to Taiwan.

I am writing a paper and you just saved my life. But i was wondering if anyone knows the sources? Bc if i want to use the info from this video i need to confirm that this is a serious source bc iT´s YoUtUbE tHaTs ThE iNtErNeT tHiS hAs To Be BuLl

Focus on south east Asia?

the point here is not really just the resources of the island, but the 12 nautical miles or 22 kilometers of territory (including military's) rights who owns the island. If China officially owns it, it can setup military bases North of Taiwan, South of Japan and Korea and potentially keep US pacific naval forces 350km out from it coast line. It is so strategic for China and Japan / US will not want it to go to China. 2 cents

As an outside observer (mostly, American here), I think Japan was very fortunate to retain all of the Okinawan Islands all the way down south nearly to Taiwan. Waging such an aggressive war and losing usually results in some consequences. Senkaku/Diaoyu is not part of Okinawa. In a fair world China/Taiwan would get them.

How does claiming what is your property count as mending ties? Oh ohh I know this one... by giving you Free Cash... Right Right got it... NO!

684 comments but only 5 can be seen.I wonder what is happening.

Regardless of who they belong to, they are part of the first island chain which is of great strategic value for any potential invasion of Taiwan, which Japan would almost certainly be drawn into. Tbh, I doubt Taiwan wants them at this point in history. It would just be another island they'd have to defend, and they already have too many of them. Maybe after China recognizes Taiwan's independence (ha).

Difficult international law issue? Trial by combat then:)

It’s all about economic zone. The island is just a piece of no life rock but allows Japan to declare a large economic zone to fish. Historically the island was a part of Taiwan’s Pin-Don (屏東縣）county its only 140 miles north east of Taiwan (much far away from Japan) and got colonized by Japan along with Taiwan in 1900. 1943 US, UK, Russia and China signed Cairo Declaration and agreed Taiwan returning to China after WW2 which includes this island by default. However, US transferred the ownership to a private Japanese in 1970 without Taiwan’s consent. Then this Japanese gave the island to Japanese government so Japan can declare economic zone which means Taiwanese fishing boats will enter Japanese territory as soon as the boats leave ports. Protest in Taiwan started in 70s, I remember because I participated. China didn’t get involved till recent year the pro Japan taiwan government stopped claiming the island. Chinese coast guard filled the missing Taiwanese coast guard to protect Chinese and Taiwanese fishing boats in the region against Japanese coast guards and navy. Chinese position is this island a part of Taiwan and Taiwan is a part of China, hence Chinese has the duty to confront Japan and US to protect Chinese sovereignty. Japan did the same thing to another smaller rock east of taiwan, claiming it’s an island and arrests Taiwanese fishing boats. The pathetic Taiwanese government keeps silent on the matter and China is not engaged.

I wonder if the island will survive world war 3. You never know somebody might blow it up.

We need a stronger UN . A flimsy UN is bad for humanity.

I feel bad for taiwan, taiwan is smaller than china and japan, smaller population than China or Japan, smaller active military than China or japan, smaller economy than China or Japan, and cannot complete 2 titans of east asia.

私、日本人 私達にとってこの問題は中国、台湾のちょっとした欲望によるものではないかと考えています。 事実、昔の尖閣諸島にて、中国の漁師が漂流してきたので、まだその島々にいた漁師の日本人が助け、送り返し、中国政府から感謝状が出されています。 ”大日本帝国さんありがとね、尖閣諸島は貴方方のものやで、そして助けてくれた漁師達に謝謝”なんていう物が出ています。 が、ちょっと前に国連が尖閣諸島の地下にサウジアラビアにも匹敵する石油が眠っているという報告が出た後に台湾や中国は領有権を主張してきました。 最近は台湾有事が恐れられている中、一緒に盗られるのではないかと思っています。 日本政府も中国政府も早くICJに出て、反論できなくさせればいいのに、それをしないのには疑問が生じます。 中国を信用していないのでしょうか？

Make vedio on israel -iran and iran -america disputes.

Why 1945 china is represented whit prc flag

So why did the US unilaterally give administrative rights of the islands to Japan in 1951? Was it their islands to give the rights to Japan in the first place? The motivations and validity of that decision during the McCarthy period is the elephant in the room that nobody talks about.

7:38 Poland: I know how it feels to be surrounded by giant countries

1:17 but don't forget the official name of Taiwan: Republic of China

I prefer the usage of the terminology PRC & ROC over China & Taiwan.

For a while The Japanese were the big heads

There is no dispute, it is mine

The issue of Taiwan independence is not a Chinese issue. It is not a choice between reunification of China and separation from China. The true color of the issue of Taiwan independence is an unfinished decolonization job. Why decolonization should be applied to Taiwan? First, Taiwan was a Japanese colony since 1895. Because Japan renounced her territorial sovereignty over Taiwan in 1952 without designating the successor, Taiwan became a former colony with undetermined status. Second, because the post-war disposition of Taiwan is still undetermined, the Allied Powers’ post-war military occupation arrangement is still effective. In other words, Taiwan is still a territory under Allied Powers’ military occupation. Finally, according to UNGA Resolution 1514, decolonization should be applied to non- self-governing territories and lands under military occupation is certainly non-self- governing. Hence, decolonization should be applied to Taiwan. The Allied Powers’ military occupation is an operation of All allied members of the world war 2. The Allied Powers as a whole, is the owner of military occupation rights, and members mentioned on the occupation plan General Order No.1, are the actual executors. They are empowered agents of all members of the Allies. The ONE CHINA cage cannot and should not cover the Allied Powers’ military occupation entity and Taiwan. So you may ask, what can I do? Well, if you are a member of legislature in any sovereign state, please spend some time to check related archives and confirm the facts mentioned in this video, stop passing bills or resolutions demanding executive branch to form official diplomatic relation with the ROC regime, stop pushing executive branch to form official diplomatic relation with the ROC regime, and use the facts you have confirmed to ask executive branch, especially the department of foreign affairs, about their position on the status of Taiwan. Please ask the executive branch, especially the department of foreign affairs, about executive branch’s position on Taiwan’s status based on the San Francisco Peace Treaty. If the answer is not clear, request the executive branch to do research. Then pass resolution to request executive branch to support the entity of the Allied Powers’ military occupation to represent people on Taiwan in international organizations as observer, and request executive branch to demand the UN to put Taiwan on the list of non-self-governing territories. If you are a nice person, and you really love Taiwan and its people, please check related archives and confirm the facts. Also, please stop requesting your government to form official diplomatic relation with the ROC regime, but instead, request your government to study the actual situation of Taiwan. To help Taiwan and its people, please stop calling 🇹🇼this the national flag of Taiwan and stop regarding the ROC regime as the Taiwan government. Because this will only put Taiwan and people on Taiwan into the ONE CHINA cage. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/otmjZbKVss7NaWQ.html

The closes thing we ever got from the team work of 🇨🇳🤝🇹🇼

Yeah it is owned by China since middle ages and taiwan agrees but in the 1879 annexed by Japan. 😅

It’s simple, the island doesn’t belong to anyone

If you don't know, don't try to explain.

I know there are a lot of opinion but, it is also true that there are oils under the island. And china insisted after it discovered. But Japan insisted before it discovered. If the island ruled by Chinese army,it also means the danger of Southeast Asia. And world became Chinese territory.

✨✨🎌🎌 J A P A N 🎌🎌✨✨

Quite biased against China but better than most Western productions. 1. Taiwan was never de facto independent from China in 1945. In 1945 China took back Taiwan from Japan. If you mean the separate rule of Taiwan and mainland China, that happened in 1949/1950. If you mean when Taiwanese started seeking independence from China then it was the 1990s. 2. Allied agreements on Japan prior to the end of WWII and leading up to the founding of the United Nations limited Japan's legal territory to only the 4 home islands and by this international law/precedent Japan never had any legal claims to Okinawa/Ryukyu, which was placed under UN/US administration, which the US handed over control to Japan later. Rather Okinawa/Ryukyu under which the Diaoyu/Senkaku falls under is a semi-autonomous kingdom administered by Japan seeking independence.

no bullshit only war can resovlve territory problem

Don't really understand why they want this little island

What accent? Sounds German
