Since the Chinese Communist Party declared the People's Republic of China in 1949, other states have had to choose — to diplomatically recognize the regime in Beijing or stay with the Republic of Chin
I know the German media could never tell the audience the real history objectively, but it's so hilarious that they say the biggest dictator Chiang Kai-shek, who undoubtedly identified himself as a Chinese and fought against the separatism in Taiwan, paved the way for Taiwanese democracy
We refer to the Republic of China (ROC) as Taiwan throughout this video. The government in Taiwan is called the ROC and officially still claims the entirety of China, just as the People’s Republic of China (PRC) does from Beijing. Many viewers have correctly pointed out that what we call the Taiwan flag is the flag of the ROC. We’re sorry for any irritation this has caused. An eagle-eyed viewer also spotted an error where we misspelled Palau – we’re sorry to have made the mistake but delighted you’re watching so keenly.
It reminds me, back in December, 2017, UN resolution that condemned the United States' decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital and move its embassy. Only 7 countries stood with the US and Israel position:
Guatemala, Honduras, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Palau and Togo.
The idea that Chiang Kai Shek fought for democracy and freedom is “interesting”. Just as interesting is that while the ROC govt is now trying to erase any symbols related to him in Taiwan due to his authoritarian rule, in China itself his image is undergoing rehabilitation and is seen in a more positive light. Suggest people have a read about him rather than just depend on the headlines
That's not the flag of Taiwan but the flag of Republic of China
