Crumbling Narrative Causes Desperation within Chinese Communist Party
The issue of Taiwan's sovereignty has been a long-standing dispute between the People's Republic of China (PRC) and the Republic of China (ROC), with the former asserting its 'one China principle' and the latter maintaining its own 'one China' policy.
The PRC has fabricated the claim that it succeeded the ROC government in 1949, but this is a contested narrative. The PRC has denied the automatic succession of treaties entered into before its establishment in 1949, and has reserved the right to examine treaty contents and make decisions on recognition.
The PRC's assertion that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China was made in 1971, but the 1943 Cairo Declaration did not make dispositions on Taiwan's ownership. The PRC has also declared treaties signed by the ROC after 1949 null and void.
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has never ruled Taiwan, and the PRC has not assumed a position to succeed the sovereign debts owed by China. The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has asserted that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China, but the PRC has not been able to exercise jurisdiction over the island.
The ROC, being transformed through sovereign acts by the Taiwanese, is alive and kicking. The international community views Taiwan's security as an international concern, and more governments are adopting official positions or passing parliamentary statements to rid themselves of the PRC's 'one China principle' shackles.
The ownership of Taiwan belongs to the Taiwanese people, who have reaffirmed the statehood of Taiwan. The CCP's claim that the ROC no longer exists is incorrect, and the CCP's 'demise theory' denies the ROC the status of being an entity from which rights are to be succeeded.
The CCP's 'succession theory' shows its desperation to persuade the international community that it 'owns' Taiwan. The PRC has not recognized debts from bonds issued in 1912, despite bills being floated in the US Congress. The PRC has not fully subscribed to the position that it succeeded the previous governments of China.
The PRC has been working hard to push its 'one China principle' on governments, but the international community continues to view Taiwan's security as an international concern. The Taiwanese people have reaffirmed their statehood, and the ROC remains a vital player in the region. Despite the PRC's assertions, the issue of Taiwan's sovereignty is far from settled.
