I am Taiwanese, thank you for this introduction video of Taiwan, the information from the video is fairly correct besides 2:49 . Chiang Kai-shek did bring gold to Taiwan to rebuild financial system in order to feed their 1.5 million refugees which retreated with him from China, but their gold and other assets are far from enough, therefore Kuomintang release New Taiwan Dollars to exchange Old Taiwan Dollars, and exchange rate was 40000(OTD) to 1 (NTD), by doing this, Chiang Kai-shek transfer whole Taiwanese‘s private property into their state owned assets. We Taiwanese DO NOT appreciate Chiang Kai-shek at all, their Republic of China’s government would disappear without Taiwanese’s contribution.

Everyone wants the right to protect their own security, business and interest. It’s all about power and greed that’s what’s always been since the start. More power = more greed = more business = more control = more interest = more security = more protection and the list goes on, folks when you factor all these things in one category than, you’ll truly understand why politicians do what they do.

[@bunsdad4530]

This does not mention the real reason why China wants it. The world has 8 choke points and controlling the open ocean around Taiwan means that China cannot get its navy out to protect things like oil tankers. If China cannot control the pacific and Indian Ocean choke points or at least keep them open they can be put under any kind of sanctions any time. Imagine they are restricted from oil and mining equipment like NK. It is about keeping warm water ports open for russia and China and it’s purely strategic If the choke points close they have to accept USD)

I'm from Taiwan and my dad was born in 1935 in China and he fled to Taiwan alone in 1949. In early 90's, he finally was allowed to come back home, HuNan province, located in East center of China, but everything changed. His mother was dead long time ago. (His father was dead even when he was a kid). All his brothers were dead too. He only saw his oldest brother's wife. This is a tragedy in Chinese history and for his generation.

What surprises me every time is how quickly "people's opinion" can change, depending on what you feed them. Self determination is more or less an illusion, that the education system or the media can easily manufacture, some times over a decade, some times over night. When someone says "the people want", a lot of the times it really means what the elites want the people want, and most people are conditioned into what they want even if they don't want it before.

Most of the Chinese who came here were Hokkien speakers， not Hakka. It is important to note the original people of Taiwan are Taiwanese Aboriginals who have been here for thousands of years. NO government controlled most of the island before the Japanese came here in 1895 as until then more than half of the island was under tribal Aboriginal control. We were at most only on the edge of the Chinese empire historically.

I really enjoy this channel and Palki's reporting. It is reporting that is factual, concise, informative/educational, and done without the opinionated and sensationalized commentary like that of Western journalists that is often inaccurate, incomplete, misleading and designed to stir listeners' emotions and sway them in a particular direction. Western (U.S.) news organizations' preoccupation with ratings has led them to behave like entertainment news/talk show hosts instead of factual news reporters. Their reporting has become propagandized. Instead of journalists presenting facts and well-researched information that informs and educates their listeners about an issue, they pick sides of an issue and spin the news in such a way that over time their listeners will only believe that side of the story. And they disparage those with differing viewpoints.
