China claims sovereignty over Taiwan, but the government in Taipei rejects that. As Beijing seeks unification, how is the threat of invasion changing the island democracy?

There has been no evidence provided, whatsoever, that China wants to invade on the dates given. Lyle J.

They actually tell the truth when they say that they want a peaceful reunification.

To be honestly, back then neither were a great choice. Taiwan wasn't democratic till afterwards, both the CCP and KMT were both authoritarians and both brutal dictatorships.

China's invasion could very well be doomed just by the geography of Taiwan itself; it's a mountainous island. Only two places are considered viable for landings and conditions are only right for a few months out of the year. They'd see the massing forces well before the invasion begins. Plus the potential for guerilla war because of the mountains. China wants Taiwan primarily for its superconductor plants, otherwise it would be much better to maintain the status quo, and destruction of those plants in a guerilla war would ruin all of China's plans of dominating the superconductor market. Even worse for China, they have no military experience. In their last war against Vietnam, they lost terribly. Now they wish to plan out an amphibious assault that will make D-Day look like a birthday party in comparison. Unless WW3 starts, they aint doing nothing. Taiwan is fine, and will remain fine for the next several decades.

I agree with you on some points, but Taiwan and China has always had close relationships. The island was under China’s rule for many years, and during the time of Japanese occupation it was during world war II, which many other territories(such as southeast islands) were compromised as well. Also, the Chinese civil war led the former leader of China Jiang jieshi and many other Chinese people to move back to Taiwan. It is important to point out other facts before making judgement

The Kuomintang (KMT) and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) have never signed a formal peace treaty. Both parties consider themselves to be the rightful rulers of all of China, including Taiwan. After the Chinese Civil War, which took place from 1945 to 1949, the KMT, led by Chiang Kai-shek, retreated to Taiwan while the CCP, led by Mao Zedong, established the People's Republic of China (PRC) on the mainland. Since then, both the KMT and the CCP have maintained their claims of legitimacy and sovereignty over all of China. The KMT, as the ruling party in Taiwan, has historically held onto the idea of "One China" and considers itself the legitimate government of China. They have not formally renounced their claim to mainland China and continue to advocate for eventual reunification under their leadership. Similarly, the CCP, as the ruling party in mainland China, also asserts its claim as the legitimate government of China, including Taiwan. The CCP considers Taiwan a part of its territory and has not ruled out the use of force to bring Taiwan under its control. The lack of a peace treaty between the KMT and the CCP, combined with their competing claims of legitimacy, has contributed to the ongoing political tensions and complexities surrounding the issue of reunification between Taiwan and mainland China.

This content was included in the [Cairo Declaration] and later reiterated in the [Potsdam Proclamation] that it should be implemented. 3) In 14 Aug & 2 Sept 1945, the Emperor and govt of Japan issued the [End War Edict] and [Japanese Instrument of Surrender] , Japan surrendered and accepted the [Potsdam Proclamation]. The Japanese troops in Taiwan surrendered to KMT General CKS. Taiwan re-entered the territory of the Republic of China (ROC). 4) Soon after that China civil war broke out between KMT and CCP, the KMT was defeated and fled to Taiwan. However, due to US intervention, the CCP without strong navy at that time has no ability to unify Taiwan. The CCP then established the People's Republic of China (PRC) in 1949. The civil war continues..... 5) In 1971, UN Resolution No. 2758 ruled that the PRC had obtained the representation rights and all legal rights originally owned by the ROC in the UN. That means the PRC is China’s only legal govt under international law, and today the PRC also become China’s only legal govt recognized by 181 countries around the world, including the USA.
