America's 'strategic ambiguity' on Taiwan | 6 Things to Know

[@BlueGiant69202]

4:15 With respect to America's "strategic ambiguity" on Taiwan, the island of Formosa/Taiwan is not a state, nation-state or country and the Republic of China is a government in exile outside of its national territory and a non-sovereign entity that does not hold legal title to Taiwan under international law since in neither the San Francisco Peace Treaty nor the Treaty of Taipei did Japan cede Formosa/Taiwan to the Republic of China. Japan recognized the USA as the principal occupier of Japan with full rights to dispose of separated Japanese territory as it saw fit. The Republic of China was delegated authority by SCAP General Order No. 1, issued by General Douglas MacArthur, as a proxy military occupation force on Formosa to accept and administer the surrender of Japanese forces on Taiwan pending an intended transfer of title in a future peace treaty. In accordance with international law, Taiwan was legalistically Japanese territory until April 28, 1952. Regarding Taiwan, democracy and human rights, the principal occupier of Japan (that means occupier of all Japanese territory including Formosa and the Pescadores) was a signatory to international laws that state that the annexation of territory outside of a peace treaty and the promulgation of a foreign constitution and elections in occupied territory, to which a proxy military occupation force of the principal occupier acting in compliance with SCAP General Order No. 1, does not hold legal title under international law, are war crimes for which the principal occupier may be held accountable.
