Who is Responsible for Taiwan's Defense?



A new video will be posted every day before the Jan. 14, 2024 elections. Please subscribe.


This new series of Youtube videos examines the contention that Taiwan was never legally incorporated into the Republic of China's national territory after WWII, and therefore Taiwan does not belong to the ROC.

If indeed this is true, then it is hard to understand why the majority of people in Taiwan and overseas unquestioningly assume that the ROC is "responsible"" for Taiwan's defensive needs.

Interestingly, this line of inquiry appears to have been completely overlooked by the mainstream media, along with all the government officials in Taiwan, the USA, Europe, Japan, South East Asia, etc. Here in 2023 - 2024, it is certainly necessary to examine all relevant evidence regarding such allegations.





Films #1 to #20 present the initial overview of why Taiwan does not belong to the ROC, why the recognition of Taiwan people as "ROC citizens" is illegal, and why military conscription by the ROC in Taiwan violates international law. A summary is given in film #21.

For those persons who maintain that the above analysis is incorrect, further detailed explanations and rebuttals regarding the ROC's alleged independent sovereign status are given beginning in film #22.

Links to several informative webpages are available as well.
