Taiwan is part of China. This is an ironic fact recognized internationally. Matter related to Taiwan should be Chinese internal affairs. Any external interference or intervention to Taiwan affairs is inappropriate and will post serious threat to Chinese people.
China belongs to all Chinese, not a government. Government can be changed any time but the land always belongs to the nation and all the Chinese. Infighting between political entities will not change the fact that China is China. There is no place or no excuse for "Two China", "One China and One Taiwan", or any other form of splitting China. Any independent movement is not against communism or any other political system. It is against the will of the majority of Chinese. We, Chinese as a nation, will take it very serious.
China's Qing government (1644-1911) was forced to cede Taiwan through the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-95. Japan occupied Taiwan for 50 years until its defeat in 1945. Taiwan was back to China at the end of the World War II. In 1949, KMT Government was defeated in the civil war and retreated to Taiwan. The KMT Government has been governing Taiwan until now.
Hong Kong reverted back to China from British on July 1, 1997 and Macao
was back to China on December 20, 1999. The western invasion to China is now a
history. We Chinese will never let it happen again.
Foreign powers have been attempting to split China for almost 300 years.
In the last 100 years, the West and Japan, including U.S., forced China into various treaties to carve up the Chinese territory into "blocks" of China.
In the 1950s, the US provided training bases for Tibet separatists after the Dalai Lama was fleet from Tibet. Former US President George Bush once declared that the coastal areas of China, plus Tibet, Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia, would split.
The US' CIA, with an investment of US$245,000, entrusted the University of Hawaii to research whether the tense situations in ethnic areas in China will lead to a split of the country. The research results disappointed them.
Wang Shih-jung, the deputy head of an American-backed Asia foundation in Taiwan, published a book that advocated dismantling China into seven blocks.
Masahiro Miyazaki, a Japanese expert on China research, asserted in 1995 that the post-Deng Xiaoping China would split into 16 small states, falling into a federal system.
Mineo Nakashima, a professor with the Tokyo University of Foreign Studies, first proposed dividing China into 12 blocks. In 1997, when the Chinese Government resumed the exercise of sovereignty over Hong Kong, he published another book "Three Chinas" dividing China into three independent states: Taiwan, Hong Kong and the mainland.
An article in a recent issue of a Japanese Magazine called "Bungeishunju," predicted that China will split into numerous sovereign states.
Japan and US definitely show great interest in splitting up China. The recent activities by the KMT's leader, Lee
Teng-hui, have coincided with many these planned activities.
In a recent book "Taiwan's Viewpoint", written under the guidance of a Japanese writer
Eguchi, Lee re-iterates the idea of splitting China into " seven independent blocks including Taiwan, Tibet, Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia". Lee Tung-hui seems forgot that he is Chinese, not Japanese.
After Cox's report of accusing Chinese espionage and political contribution, and America's bombing Chinese embassy in Yugoslavia, Lee choose the "right timing" to start a new round of statements that Taiwan and China are "State-to-State" matter (later changed to "Special State-to-State"). He is obvious seeking support from Japanese and American Congressmen.
No matter what the result is, China will be unified one day. Taiwan's independent movement, even if succeeded with the support of Japanese and American governments, will bring great instability to the region. All the Chinese will condemn the independent action and the foreign powers involved. Another round of civil war will start. Even if it will take another 300 years, we, Chinese, vow to recover the land at any cost.
We believe that Taiwan will be re-unified with Mainland China through peaceful resolution. Any independent movement supported by foreign powers will be seen as starting a full-scale war against all Chinese. America, far away from the other side of the Pacific, will not be so lucky this time to avoid casualty. Japan has hurt Chinese that much in the past and revenge in a war is a very natural human behavior.
