Sept 12

The House of Representatives of the Netherlands on September 12 adopted a Taiwan-friendly motion stating that United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) Resolution 2758 did not rule that the People's Republic of China (PRC) enjoyed sovereignty over Taiwan and that it did not make any judgment on Taiwan's participation in the UN or other international organizations.

Australia was the first country in the network to pass such a motion led by cross-party Senators O’Neill (Labour) and Fawcett (Liberal) co-sponsoring a similar motion which received cross-party support and passed unanimously with the approval of Foreign Minister Penny Wong.

Sept 13 (Reuters) - Two German navy ships sailed through the sensitive Taiwan Strait on Friday in the first such transit in two decades, demonstrating Berlin's resolve to stand with Western allies at a time of soaring tensions between Taipei and Beijing.

China, which claims democratically governed Taiwan as its own, says it alone exercises sovereignty and jurisdiction over the strait. Both the United States and Taiwan say the strait - a major trade route through which about half of global container ships pass - is an international waterway.

Sept 26. (Reuters)  Japan’s Self-Defense Force sailed through the Taiwan Strait on Wednesday for the first time in a historic move that angered Beijing and marked the latest tussle between the neighbours accusing each other of escalating tensions in the region.

Japan's Yomiuri newspaper reported on Thursday that the SDF destroyer Sazanami entered the Taiwan Strait from the East China Sea on Wednesday morning to send a message to Beijing, spending more than 10 hours sailing southward to complete the passage.

North Korea is furious. The United States has sent a fast-attack nuclear submarine to the port of Busan, South Korea.

The US Navy vessel weighs 7,800 tons and this is the first time since it was commissioned 4 years ago that the USS Vermont has directed it to South Korea for resupply.

North Korea's strong power of independence from the United States."

After the nuclear submarine stopped in enemy territory on September 23, Kim Yo Jong-un's sister has drowned the Americans in criticism. "The United States can demonstrate its 'overwhelming capability' by surfacing, even with a submarine whose mission is to carry out a definitive nuclear strike under the sea, nothing will work," Kim Yo Jong grumbled in a recent statement, relayed by Newsweek. She continued by assuring that Pyongyang would respond to this major provocation.

So no appeasement. According to Kim Yo Jong, Deputy Director of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, the arrival of the American submarine "clearly reveals the unbridled military and strategic attempt of the United States." Adding: "Washington is in an unprecedented strategic inferiority situation on the Korean Peninsula and in the Asia-Pacific region," and is terrified by "North Korea's strong power of independence from the United States."

On Wednesday, Beijing announced that the long-range missile was fired at 08:44 local time (04:44 GMT). It carried a dummy warhead and landed in the designated area - believed to be in the South Pacific.

“This sort of testing is not unusual for other countries, including the United States, but is for China,” nuclear missile analyst Ankit Panda told the BBC.

China’s “ongoing nuclear modernisation” already has resulted in substantial changes, he said. This launch now appears to also show a change in its approach.

It has sparked immediate reaction from other countries. Japan said it had received “no notice” and expressed “serious concern” about Beijing’s military build-up.

Meanwhile, Australia said the action was "destabilising and raises the risk of miscalculation in the region” and that it had sought “an explanation” from Beijing. New Zealand called it “an unwelcome and concerning development”.

Mr Panda said he doesn't believe China’s actions were primarily designed to send a political message - “but no doubt this will be a stark reminder to the region and to the US that nuclear dynamics in Asia are quickly changing”.

Other analysts went further, saying it was another wake-up call for the US and its allies in the region.

“To Washington, the message is that direct intervention in a conflict across the Taiwan Strait would involve the American homeland being vulnerable to attack,” said Leif-Eric Easley, an international relations professor at Ewha Women's University in South Korea.

For US allies in Asia, the “provocative test… demonstrates China’s capabilities to fight on multiple fronts simultaneously," he added.

"Timing is everything," Drew Thompson, a senior fellow at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies in Singapore, wrote on X.

"[China's] statement claims the launch does not target any country, but there are high-levels of tension between China and Japan, Philippines, and of course perpetual tension with Taiwan."

While the relationship between Beijing and Washington has improved in the past year, China's increasing assertiveness in the region remains a sticking point. Tensions have ramped up between China and the Philippines as their ships have repeatedly collided in disputed waters.

Last month, Japan scrambled fighter jets after it accused a Chinese spy plane of breaching its air space, a move that it called "utterly unacceptable".

U.S. President Joe Biden on Sunday approved $567 million in defense support for Taiwan, the White House said, the latest move by the United States to boost the island's military in the face of rising tensions with China.

The United States is Taiwan's most important international backer and arms supplier even in the absence of formal diplomatic ties. China has repeatedly demanded Washington stop selling weapons to Taipei, which it claims as its territory.

During the less than 4 years of Biden's admiration, he had approved weapon deals with Taiwan 17 times!  He put more fuel into the flame than any others.

Background information about China and Taiwan's history

With Germany's unconditional surrender in May 1945, World War two was over.

At that time, the Nationalist-led government rules the Republic of China under its leader: Chiang Kai-shek.

Japanese troops of the Second World War were surrendered to KMT troops but not to the CCP.

Soon after the Second World War, a civil war broke out in China. (1945-1949)

The war was between the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) led forces under the Leader of Mao and the Nationalist Party-led government of the Republic of China.

During the war, more than 2 million soldiers were killed.

At the end of the war, nearly 7 million Nationalist (KMT) troops were captured and approximately 5 million civilians died as a result of combat, famine, and disease.

On OCT 1, 1949, The CCP controlled mainland China. Mao declared the establishment of the People’s Republic of China.

The KMT (Nationalists) retreated to TAIWAN and kept the name of the Republic of China.

 

Since then, mainland China planned to take over TAIWAN and the government in TAIWAN promotes a movement called” Reclaim the Mainland” and they remain hostile to each other.

The Korean War broke out in 1950. During the three years of the Korean War, the Mainland CCP government sent around 2 million of its best soldiers to the frontline to fight with the UN forces. UN forces comprised 21 countries, with the US providing around 90% of military personnel.

The combat ended on 27 July 1953 when the Korean Armistice Agreement was signed, allowing the exchange of prisoners and creating the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ).

Based on the statistics from the UN, there were over 400,000 Chinese soldiers killed in the war, over 21,000 captured, and around 500,000 wounded.

Because of the heavy losses in the war and many other reasons, the mainland Chinese government didn’t have a good chance to fight and take over TAIWAN.

The United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2758 (also known as the Resolution on Admitting Peking) was passed in response to the United Nations General Assembly Resolution 1668 that required any change in China's representation in the UN be determined by a two-thirds vote referring to Article 18[1] of the UN Charter. The resolution passed on 25 October 1971, recognized the People's Republic of China as "the only legitimate representative of China to the United Nations" and removed "the representatives of Chiang Kai-shek" (referring to the then-authoritarian Nationalist regime as the dominant party in the Republic of China, whose central government had retreated to Taiwan from the mainland) from the United Nations.

Taiwan, officially the Republic of China (ROC), has competed as "Chinese Taipei" (TPE) at the Olympic Games since 1984.

‘1992 consensus’, a key political baseline agreed upon by the Chinese Communist Party and the Kuomintang (KMT) in 1992, asserting that mainland China and Taiwan are part of one China.

China considers Taiwan a renegade province that must be united with the mainland by force if necessary.

ON MAY 20, 2024, the newly elected president of TAIWAN Mr. Lai proclamation that ‘the Republic of China and the People’s Republic of China are not subordinate to each other’.
