Congrats to the Taiwanese 🇹🇼 who are enjoying freedom and prosperity - while 1.4 billion Chinese have no rights to speech, and half are still under poverty, without clean water or toilets. - Chinese people wish to be Taiwanese.

Tiawan is not a part of Cina its a island off the coast of China . A island where years ago after losing the war to Moa . Shanki Shek along with two million of his soldiers left China 🇨🇳 and went to the island of Tiawan to start a fresh life and it turns out that they're life was prosperous so why is China boddering them ?

HK is UK's colony given to PROC in 1997. Taiwan is placed under ROC custody by US led alliance after Japan surrendered in WW2. 'Independence' talk is just a created political pretext to justify further aggressive behavior in Taiwan Straits.

Xi's "Runification" based on "historical ownership" is total nonsense not supported by historical fact. The idea of "China" as a nation-state did not emerge until the end of the Manchurian Empire. ROC, Republic of China, was declared on Jan 1, 1912, as a revolution against the Manchurian Empire. PRC, People's Republic of China, was established on October 1, 1949. Which country has "legitimate" rights for Taiwan based on "historical ownership"? This is a very dumb question. But just let us accept for the moment the premise that a country could have "historical ownership" rights to a piece of territory, let us look at the history of Taiwan. The "native people" of Taiwan never did have much say about what foreign powers who came to take over parts of Taiwan as their territories. The Dutch (Dutch East India Company and its army) occupied the coastline of the southern half of Taiwan from 1624 - 1662. The Spaniards colonized northern Taiwan, around 1/67 - 1/7 of the Taiwan Island, calling it "Spanish Formosa", starting in 1626. In August 1642 the Dutch drove out the Spaniards and took that north Taiwan territory. Zheng Chenggong 鄭成功, a Southern Ming general defeated the Dutch outposts on Taiwan in 1661 and established the Kingdom of Tungning 東寧國. In 1683, Qing (Manchurian Empire) defeated the Kingdom of Tungning 東寧國 in the Battle of Penghu 澎湖海戰 and proceeded to rule over the western and northern part of Taiwan, less than half of the total Taiwan Island. In 1895, Qing ceded its Taiwan territory to Imperial Japan which ruled over the entire Island. After Japan surrendered to the Allies at the end of WW2 on September 2, 1945, Republic of China ROC (KMT) took over Taiwan under military rule. The Civil War between the KMT and the CCP resumed in 1946. CCP chairman Mao Zedong proclaimed the establishment of the People's Republic of China (PRC) on 10/1/1949. KMT started to retreat to Taiwan and completed the retreat by December 1949. On December 7, 1949, ROC in Taiwan declared itself the government-in-exile of China. Japan finally relinquished its territorial claims to Taiwan in the Treaty of San Francisco, which was signed on 9/8/1951 and came into effect on 4/28/1952. Both ROC and PRC were not present at the negotiation and signing of the Treaty. At that time, there was no consensus which "China" should be present. In total, according to current estimates, between 900,000 and 1,100,000 people from mianland China have migrated to Taiwan between 1945 and 1955. The prior population of the island, at the end of Japanese rule, is estimated as 6,500,000. Of these, the Japanese subpopulation of about 500,000 were mostly repatriated by 1946. There was a native "kingdom" on the west coast of Taiwan, which the Dutch called Middag, date of establishment unknown and ended in 1732. This "Kingdom" was probably not a "kingdom." It might be a confederacy of tribes. When the Dutch invaded Taiwan and later conquered the Spainish colony in northern Taiwan, this group of natives had managed to resist the Dutch army and remained self-administered. In Chinese records this "kingdom" is called 大肚王國, "Big Belly Kingdom" (no kidding), based on geographical landmark 大肚溪, Big Belly River. In 1661, Zheng Chenggong 鄭成功 arrived at Taiwan and drove out the the army of the Dutch India Company an established the Kingdom of Tungning 東寧國. But defeating the Big Belly Kingdom turned out to be tough. In one battle, a whole 500 men regiment was killed by the tribesmen. In a brutal battle in in 1670, Zheng's army almost wiped out the whole Papula 巴布拉 tribe. In 1731 a large-scale tribal uprising against Qing rulers lasted for almost a year. Qing dynasty sent in its regiments from Fujian Province 福建省 and squashed the rebellion, with much blood shed and eradicated the Big Belly Kingdom. There was a very short-lived Republic of Formosa 臺灣民主國 that existed on Taiwan in 1895 after the formal cession of Taiwan by the Qing Dynasty to the Emperor of Japan by the Treaty of Shimonoseki 下關條約 / 馬關條約. When news of the treaty reached Taiwan, some "Qing Dynasty Chinese" decided to form an independent republic and resist Japan. It was proclaimed on May 23,1895 and Japanese troops conquered it on October 21. The Republic lasted only 151 days. CCP likes to throw around claims of "historical ownership" on territories including, and not limited to, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Tibet, and territories in dispute with Vietnam and India. Putin has exerted his "historical ownership" claims to Crimea and Ukraine, and you know what other countries he would like to exert that claim if he has the means to do so. Such claims are plain absurd. Just imagine Mongolia, Japan, Tibet, India, Britain, Spain, Netherlands, Mexico...etc. exerts their "historical ownership." Just imagine what the USA would be like when Britain, Spain, France, Mexico, Portugal, Belgium, and native Americans exert their "historical ownership" based on history, or on unequal, unjust, and fraudulent treaties, or on unequal, unjust, and fraudulent territory transactions. Furthermore, making such "historical ownership" claims frequently implies an implicit recognition of the legitimacy of gaining a piece of territory by force. A country's territory or part of it was almost always gained by force sometime in history. So, when another country gains a piece of territory from you, it would have immediate legitimate ownership of that piece of territory you just lost. I am not saying that history should not be a factor to consider in territorial disputes, or historical grievances, or historical injustices, but just because one's county (or some precursor of that country) "owned" a piece of territory some time in the past should not be and could not be the main and determining factor.
