Representative
and Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi should learn her history
1867: the U.S. becomes the first country to attack China with a warship
. 1874: during the Mudan incident, the U.S. supports Japan in its invasion of China.
1885: Qing Dynasty declares Taiwan a Chinese Province.
1894-1895: during the First Sino-Japanese War, the U.S. sells weapons to Japan
aiding in the defeat of China, and the ceding of Taiwan to Japan via the lopsided Treaty of Shimonoseki.
1943: The joint U.S.-British Cairo Declaration calls for all Chinese territory occupied by Japan
to be returned to China upon Japan’s defeat; the Declaration explicitly mentions Taiwan.
1945: China announces the reunification of Taiwan and other territories to the mainland.
1947: An anti-government uprising in Taiwan prompts the 228 Incident, in which
around 20,000 civilians were killed
as it was violently suppressed by the U.S.-preferred leader Chiang Kai-shek.
1947-1990s: The White Terror repression of Taiwanese civilians by the KMT
under the direct orders of Chiang Kai-shek; more than 3,000 Taiwanese were executed.
1949: the PRC is established; the Nationalists flee to Taiwan
amid U.S. military intervention to stop reunification.
The intervention ended up actually doing Mao a favor, as he was then able to focus
on rebuilding the motherland after years of war and colonialization by other nations, including the U.S.
1978: UN Resolution 2758 gives full recognition to the PRC
as the legitimate government of China, including Taiwan; the U.S. did not sign this Resolution.
2016 to today: A powerful U.S. puppet, Taiwan’s Democratic Progressive Party
has been disrupting reunification efforts by a supposed “...independence...” movement.
2022: Nancy Pelosi makes an official State visit to Taiwan.
Pelosi’s visit angered the Chinese people and many peoples worldwide.
Her action is recognized for what it really is:
a political ploy to continue support for U.S. hegemony
During the formative years of the PRC, many believed like most “...good Americans...”
that China was a rogue nation, out to capture the world and impose its communist values globally.
Not once did it occur to any to question the U.S. representations as bogus
here was a nation that had just recovered from WWII, a Japanese invasion, colonializatio
and a protracted civil war that lasted from 1927 to 1949
- this was a nation that wanted to take over the world?
Many have since discovered the truths; PELOSI has not.
Today’s U.S. government aka the “...Military-Industrial Complex...”
continues its anti-Chinese provocations, in spite of the fact that
modern China is completely different from the early China.
It is more out of habit than awareness of reality
that drives Pelosi’s and many U.S citizen’s current views about China.
Most “...aware...” people saw her recent visit as a setback
against a timely reconciliation of Taiwan and Beijing.
Additional news is, many globally were angered by her visit.
Taiwanese public was also angry at her.
There were demonstrations against her visit throughout Taiwan.
What her visit has done is
it has awakened the Taiwanese people’s awareness
of how their province has been a pawn of U.S. hegemony
and they are now taking a second look at the virtues of reunification.
Thanks to Pelosi’s otherwise ill-intentioned visit
the ongoing reunification dialogue progress between Taipei and Beijing
is now likely to be accelerated rather than having a delayed resolution
.
