Taiwan is independent, just constantly intimidated. As for getting formal recognition from communist china of taiwans independence, all it takes is time. Taiwan is a valuable ally and trading partner of the US, and is respected as such. Communist china cannot last as a nation forever. People dream of being free, and when enough of a billion people in china act on there dreams, taiwan wont have a communist bully next door anymore.

Yes, it would be Chaing Kai Shek or Jiang Jieshi. He established the Republic of China or ROC, which is known as Taiwan in 1949 after he was defeated by the Chinese Communist Party led by Mao Zedong. He held the position until his death in 1975.\n\nIf you think about it, Taiwan was really a colony of Japan after China lost the Sino Japanese War in 1895. It wasn't given back to China until Japan was defeated in WW2. So even if Sun Yatsen was considered the first president of China (he really wasn't Yuan Shikai was, because Sun struck a deal with him and promised him the presidency after the fall of the Qing) it wouldn't apply because Taiwan was not part of China in 1911.

Ok I wouldn't pay attention to the first answer if I were you.  "Acts of treason"???  I think your teacher would ask you to explain "WHAT acts of treason?"\n\nMany people living in Taiwan have ancestral roots in China.  However, Taiwan has its own government, own land, own flag, own culture, etc.  The people of Taiwan would like to define themselves as their own country.  They like their country the way it is and don't want another government "taking over" their land and their way of life.\n\nChina's view is that the majority of Taiwanese are originally from China, so Taiwan should be a part of China.  This is advantageous to China for imperialistic and economic reasons.  Having control of more land and people makes them a more powerful country, and the added benefit for them is that Taiwan is one of the more economically prosperous Asian countries.\n\nNow, the assignment also asks to explain the relationship?  In one word, "tense".  Part of it has to do with the 228 (February 28) massacres, when rising tensions resulted in the Chinese military killing many Taiwanese, targeting especially the educated (professors & students) since those were the main people organizing protests against the Chinese.  As you can expect, there is much resentment from the Taiwanese who survived the massacres.\n\nAdding to the tension were recent war games that China played around Taiwan's coast.  Taiwan's presidential elections were coming up, and China feared that Taiwan would elect someone they didn't like, so they sent war ships to circle Taiwan's coast in an attempt to scare the Taiwanese into voting for someone else.  It didn't work.  The US stepped in to tell China to stop threatening Taiwan, and the Taiwanese elected their president.\n\nThis should get you started on your paper.  You'll have to fill in the details doing your own research.  Be careful of the sources you use, because this is an issue that many Chinese and Taiwanese are passionate about, so you'll come across strongly-worded essays that may be misleading.  It can be confusing but I think your teacher just wants you to show that you have some idea of what's going on in that part of the world.  Good luck.

No, I foresee no real friendship bestween the U.S. and China. It is NOT in the cards. The friction between the U.S. and China will, in the future, get worse and China will take Taiwan also in the future and that will be the "straw that broke the camel's back".  Even an interpretationo of the bible says that the two countries will never be "friends".

blorgo's posting made some good points, but I want to add a few things. \n\nFirst, it's going much too far to state the Taiwan is in any way "subordinate" to China. For one thing, there are still 20 or so nations that recognize the ROC and not the PRC. Only in the offical dis-information of PRC mythology does China control or administer anything having to do with Taiwan. In reality, Taiwan operates as a completely separate and sovereign nation, with all that that implies. The only real, concrete effect of China's insistence that "Taiwan is a part of China" is caused by the incredible economic and diplomatic resources devoted by China to try to restrict Taiwan's international and diplomatic "space", and China's spreading of misleading dis-information to the world and especially to its own citizens on the real issues involved. For example, all countries have an embassy in Taipei, only most of them can't CALL it an embassy. They have to call them "trade and culture offices".  \n\nDoes China have some sacred "right" to control every region where people speak Chinese and even identify themselves as ethically-Chinese? If so, then England can take "back" the USA, Canada, Austailia and New Zealand. Spain has a right to attack Mexico, Cuba, Texas, etc. Or?  \n\nThe Peoples Republic of China (PRC) has never at any time controlled Taiwan in any way or form. \n\nDuring the last decades of the last (Qing) imperial dynasty, the power of the central government was finally extended far enough to bring some degree of administrative control to some areas of Taiwan. That regime, however, was NOT the present PRC government, but rather the old, feudal regime that was overthrown in the 1911 revolution --a decade before the formation of the Chinese Communist party.\n\nSo, Taiwan may be said to have "belonged" in the past to the previous imperial Chinese regime, but to say that Taiwan today belongs to the PRC would be like saying Chechnya, Kazakhstan, Estonia, Lithuania and other (presently) independent nations "belong" to Russia, because the previous imperial Russian regime had at one time extended its control to those regions several generations ago.\n\nThe two major parties in the legislature are the DPP and the KMT. The KMT is the party of the late dictator Chiang Kai-Shek. They are trying to keep China happy, hoping it will give them advantages in the event that China gains control of Taiwan in the future. The DPP is by far the more patriotic and democratic of the two parties, and promotes the development of a Taiwan-centered national consciousness.\n\nTaiwan is now one of the most open societies in the world, and certainly in Asia. High standards of education, multi-party democracy, free press, freedom to protest. Taiwanese of all political stripes enjoy protesting. I have attended quite a few very large street demonstrations in the last few years. Some of them are celebratory and some of them are the rowdy and angry kind, but all are peaceful and no one gets hurt. The police are there, not to hinder the demonstrations but only in case a fight breaks out, just as in Europe or USA.\n\nIs it this kind of freedom that PRC leaders are afraid might spread to China?

the conflicts can never be resolved unless either tw is ready to be unified or china is ready to give up taiwan...but non o fthis is going to happen....coz first of all....one should know that...when ppl say 50% of taiwanese would like to unify with china.....they meane to say....unified with LIBERY PARTY in china and not COMMUNIST PARTY..besides the buttom line for unfication drawn by tw is that china should achieve democracy first....which is not at all possible for atleast 50 to 100 yrs...perhaps not ever....and why is china so VOWED to rule over tw??first of all....tw's geographic location is too important for china to ignore....incase a major war breaks out...tw is just like door to the south east part of china...which is the major economic booming region...which includes shanghai....secondly....taiwan is just like a lamb stuck between 2 big wolfes..the usa and china.....sounds like a war game huh.....therefore....china tw issue can be resolved  only when either side of nation collapsed all of sudden or completely.....if china collapsed like soviet union....tw's got go a head for independence...but if tw failed at maintaining part of major economic force in asia....then perhaps the owrld wouldnt give a damn about tw....
