Derivation of the International Legal Status of Taiwan
We often hear that Taiwan’s international legal status is undetermined. But in fact, few people understand the meaning of this sentence, or can explain its significance.
In order to ensure a more promising future for the Taiwanese people, we need to understand what the "underlying parameters" of this undetermined status truly are.
After a lengthy period of research, we have produced a full report which gives a "Derivation of the International Legal Status of Taiwan." This report is based on the Delineation of "Categories of Territory" found in U.S. court decisions as well as customary international precedent regarding the disposition of territory after war.
Please watch this 21 minute video for full details.

An Overview of Taiwan's Status and the Functioning of the Universe
Issac Newton cast aside the premise that "The Earth is at the center of the universe," and was then able to make much progress in his astronomical studies. In a similar fashion, we should cast aside the premise that "Taiwan is an independent sovereign nation, and its name is the Republic of China." Only then will we be able to find the proper direction for Taiwan's future development.

Taiwan Perspectives (4)-v2: Lessons from the Mexican American War
The notion that we can learn many valuable lessons from the study of the conduct of war, and the new dispositions of territory which have resulted from war, is not popular among most Taiwan and China scholars. They much prefer to advance their theories regarding a correct statement of "Taiwan's legal status" in a vacuum, without reference to other international precedent.
Of particular note is that many civilian scholars seem to agree with the proposition that Chiang Kai-shek (CKS), and his followers, can "define" the legal significance of the Oct. 25, 1945, surrender ceremonies in Taiwan any way they want. Based on that, in their view, all future legal relationships for (and between) Taiwan territory, the Taiwanese people, and the world community will then flow from the premises which CKS has established.
In fact, nothing could be further from the truth. The post-Napoleonic world has seen many instances of surrender ceremonies after war, and customary precedent has already firmly defined all related legal parameters. Hence, in Part IV of our series of TAIWAN PERSPECTIVES, we do a thorough overview of the Mexican American War, the causes of the war, and two particularly notable legal developments. These were the U.S. Supreme Court cases which clarified important points of legal confusion and debate which occurred in that era.
The conclusions reached by the U.S. Supreme Court in these cases are also very applicable to a discussion of Taiwan history beginning in 1945. Moreover, the role of the USA in Taiwan affairs can be better understood by referring to these decisions and their ramifications.
Unfortunately, even today, the majority of government officials, university academics, and UN staff members still completely overlook the similarities between the situations of the Mexican American War occupations, and the situation of Taiwan after the close of hostilities in WWII. This video is a long needed introduction to this important area of legal studies.
In summary, this 4-part series of TAIWAN PERSPECTIVES videos is one which every person interested in the USA - PRC - Taiwan triangular relationship should watch (and re-watch), as well as recommend to their friends, associates, teachers, professors, debating club members, and representatives in Congress.

Secretary of State Praises Taiwan, High School Teacher is Puzzled
The U.S. Dept. of State (DOS) often proclaims that Taiwan has undergone significant democratic development during the last thirty years. But what are the true facts of the matter? Are there any considerations that DOS is overlooking? Is the praise given by U.S. officials entirely justified?
A high school teacher on the East Coast of the United States delves into these issues in an interesting letter written to the Secretary of State.
However, to date, the Secretary of State has been at a loss for words, and completely unable to give any sort of thoughtful and comprehensive reply.

Taiwan Think Tanks (2): Understanding the San Francisco Peace Treaty
We often hear that the Taiwan Relations Act, the One China Policy, and the Three Joint Communiques are the cornerstones of the USA - Taiwan - PRC trilateral relationship. However, is anything being overlooked here?
In fact, the San Francisco Peace Treaty (SFPT) is of a higher legal weight than any of these. This treaty was ratified by the US Senate and came into force on April 28, 1952.
Hence, in the post WWII period, the SFPT is the most important legal document regarding the disposition of Taiwan territory. Notably, in this treaty, Taiwan was not awarded to China.

The Republic of China flag and Taiwan
On New Year’s Day 2015, the ROC flag was raised in several ceremonies near Washington, D.C. However, both the American Institute in Taiwan and the Dept. of State stressed that flying the ROC flag "violated" previous agreements, treaties, laws, etc. and is inconsistent with U.S. policy. In reaction to this, the ROC flag was immediately taken down.
Today, however, the question remains: Why is the ROC flag flying over Taiwan? Why isn’t the ROC flag being taken down in Taipei, Taichung, Kaohsiung and other Taiwan cities, according to the precedent established in Washington D.C.?
Importantly, are there any “legal justifications” for the ROC flag to be flying over Taiwan? This video discusses all relevant details.

Taiwan Arms Sales and Military Conscription
At the close of fighting in the Pacific War, it was the USA which was the legal occupier of Japan and her overseas territories such as Taiwan. In 1952, Taiwan was not awarded to the Republic of China (ROC) in the San Francisco Peace Treaty (SFPT), but the US still allowed the ROC government officials and military personnel to remain in Taiwan as a proxy occupying force, serving as a bulwark against communist expansion. Under the terms of the treaty, the United States then continued its role as the “principal occupying power.”
Based on the 1979 Taiwan Relations Act, the United States sells military hardware to Taiwan, but such sales must necessarily be predicated on an assumption that mandatory military conscription policies in the ROC rest on a firm legal basis. Is there any such legal basis? This video looks at some of the details involved in answering this question.

Letter to the American Institute in Taiwan
This Letter outlines a number of human rights abuses suffered by Taiwan persons carrying "Republic of China" passports and traveling internationally. Promulgations of the US Executive Branch regarding Taiwan's undetermined status, the One China Policy, and the Taiwan Relations Act are also overviewed.
The question is then asked --
How can any U.S. government official or elected representative maintain that the continued use of a Republic of China passport is in compliance with the clause in the Taiwan Relations Act which specifies: "The preservation and enhancement of the human rights of all the people on Taiwan are hereby reaffirmed as objectives of the United States."

CIA ANALYSIS: Rep. of China on Taiwan does not meet the qualifying criteria for statehood
In Taiwan, the Japanese surrender ceremonies were held on October 25, 1945, in Taipei City. The day marks the beginning of the military occupation of Taiwan.
The United States is the conqueror of Taiwan, therefore it must be responsible for the military occupation, including the tasks of reconstruction. In other words, the “legal occupier” of Taiwan territory is the United States.
The surrender ceremonies in Taiwan on October 25, 1945, were held on behalf of the Allies. However, the ensuing military occupation is being conducted on behalf of the conqueror, which is the United States.
This arrangement was fully confirmed in the San Francisco Peace Treaty. As of the date of the Treaty's entry into force, the "Allied Powers" have been dissolved. But the United States continues to fulfill the role of the principal occupying power.
In short, in October 1945 Chiang Kai-shek and the Nationalist Government were only assigned to Taiwan to conduct the military occupation. In December 1949, many high-ranking military officers of the Republic of China, government officials, and other faithful followers of Chiang Kai-shek fled to occupied Taiwan (thus leaving their homeland). They then established a temporary capital for their foreign regime in Taipei. So, as of December 1949, the Republic of China has become a government in exile.

CIA REPORT: The Republic of China does not have sovereignty over Taiwan
The Taiwan Historical News (THN) channel has produced a new series of programs on Taiwan's international legal status, based on the historical and legal record. These programs are very informative.
In Part 1, the contents and implications of an official Central Intelligence Agency report from March 1949 are examined. This CIA report confirms that Taiwan is territory under military occupation, and that there was no "Taiwan Retrocession Day" on October 25, 1945.
In regard to the development of Taiwan's history and legal status, this THN program also points out that the websites of the majority of think-tanks in the United States and other countries contain much incorrect or misleading information. To a large extent, this is because the organizers and sponsors of these think-tanks have very little knowledge of the laws of war of the post-Napoleonic period.

Taiwanese “Republic of China” Passports: ILLEGAL under the Taiwan Relations Act?
A recent invitation-only press briefing at the White House discussed the questionable legal status of passports issued by the non-sovereign Republic of China regime on Taiwan.
Of particular note is that these passports indicate that the bearer has a nationality of the "Republic of China." However, under current ISO regulations and United Nations guidelines, the Republic of China is not recognized as a "state," and there is no such nationality in the world community.
Hence, native Taiwanese persons who carry "Republic of China" passports are continually suffering serious insults to their human dignity.
All people interested in Taiwan human rights issues should watch this video carefully, and seriously consider the legal implications of all the commentary and discussion.
