Do the Taiwanese people understand that Taiwan territory does not belong to the Republic of China?

In 1895, "Formosa and the Pescadores" (aka Taiwan) were ceded to Japan in the Treaty of Shimonoseki. In 1912 when the Republic of China was founded, Taiwan was part of Japan.

In the aftermath of the First Sino-Japanese War, Qing China ceded Taiwan to Japan. Following the 1895 Treaty of Shimonoseki, Japan exercised sovereignty over Taiwan and held title to its territory. The Republic of China was founded in 1912, with Dr. Sun Yat-sen as the provisional president. Taiwan, however, having come under Japanese rule in 1895, was not part of the ROC in the early years of the 20th century.

Article XIX of the Limitation of Armament Treaty Between the United States of America, the British Empire, France, Italy, and Japan, (signed at Washington, Feb. 6, 1922) affirmatively identified Formosa and the Pescadores as part of Japanese territory.

In the post-WWII San Francisco Peace Treaty, Japan renounced the sovereignty of Taiwan, but the ROC was not the recipient of this sovereignty. This is stated in Article 2b and confirmed in Article 21. Hence, according to the provisions of the SFPT, the Republic of China is not the legal government of Taiwan.

In the modern era, it must be recognized that the highest ranking document in regard to the legal position of "Formosa and the Pescadores" (aka Taiwan) and their ownership is the San Francisco Peace Treaty of April 28, 1952. Notably, under the United States' form of government (as specified in Article VI of the US Constitution), the content of the Senate-ratified San Francisco Peace Treaty has the same weight as the US Constitution.

More importantly, under international law, the specifications of the San Francisco Peace Treaty take precedence over the "intentions" expressed in the Cairo Declaration of Dec. 1, 1943, the Potsdam Proclamation of July 26, 1945, or the Japanese Surrender documents of Aug. 15, 1945. None of these documents, nor the promulgation of General Order No. 1 on Sept. 2, 1945, nor the holding of the Japanese surrender ceremonies in Taipei on Oct. 25, 1945, can possibly be interpreted to formally transfer the sovereignty of "Formosa and the Pescadores" to the ROC.

As stated above, in the SFPT, Japan renounced the sovereignty of Taiwan, but the ROC was not the recipient of this sovereignty.

Article 4 of the ROC Constitution specifies that "The territory of the Republic of China within its existing national boundaries shall not be altered except by a resolution of the National Assembly." In regard to the alleged incorporation of Taiwan into Chinese territory, there is no resolution of the National Assembly on record. Moreover, international law specifies that "military occupation does not transfer sovereignty." The proclamation of "Taiwan Retrocession Day" on Oct. 25, 1945, thus indicating a clear intention and objective to annex Taiwan territory, is a war crime.

Former US Secretary of State Powell has a military background, and is familiar with the customary laws of warfare. On October 25, 2004, in a press conference in Beijing, he stated: "Taiwan is not independent. It does not enjoy sovereignty as a nation, and that remains our policy, our firm policy."

In summary, it is urgent that the Taiwanese people wake up to the realities that:
(1) "Taiwan" is only a geographic name, it is not the name of a country,
(2) The Republic China does not have ownership of Taiwan territory, HENCE
(3) The ROC on Taiwan is not a country, and will never be accepted to the United Nations, because it is not holding the territorial title to the areas of "Formosa and the Pescadores."
