Also, when you recognize the correct name of Taiwan as “Taiwan cession” it is easy to see that the ROC Constitution is not the organic law of the Taiwan cession …
Taiwan’s title – Taiwan cession
The Taiwan cession needs its own Constitution. This is easily accomplished under US administrative authority.
Taiwan’s sovereignty – held by the USA
Taiwan’s geographical limits – as specified in the Taiwan Relations Act
Taiwan’s system of government – to be specified in the new Constitution
This outlines a workable framework that the US President and Congress cannot object to. As for the PRC, if they have any objections they can submit them to the UN or to the US Secretary of State …[/quote]
Also, when you recognize that the sky is purple, then the ocean must appear to be purple as well, as it reflects the color of the sky.
[quote=“Hartzell”]I saw an interesting article in the Chinese language press here a few days ago. The author pointed out that one of the reasons that it is so difficult to promote the appellation R.O.C. internationally is because most people are truly confused as to what it means.
As examples, the author listed a number of countries which begin with the letter C, and then gave possible renderings of their names as follows —
Republic of Cambodia
Republic of Cameroon
Republic of Canada … [/quote]
Since when has Canada been a republic? Any “author” who can make such a blunder isn’t worth the attention, Richard.
The Taiwan Relations Act is made with the “Taiwan Governing Authorities”, and not with the ROC.
The United States does not recognize the “Republic of China” after January 1, 1979.
Before that date, the United States recognized the “Republic of China” as the legal government of China. However, after WWII, the United States never recognized the “Republic of China” as the legal government of Taiwan.
Obviously, the “Republic of China” on Taiwan is just a government in exile, exercising effective territorial control over a geographic area where it does not have sovereignty. This has been pointed out many times in these forums … although the analysis which has been offered to reach this conclusion is obviously too deep for many of the “legally and logically challenged” people who post here.

The United States government does not recognize polygamy, gay marriage, slavery, etc. either…does this mean it doesn’t exist in the world?

WTF? The Taiwan Relations ACT is a domestic law in the US. It is not made with anyone. It was not passed in order to meet commitments made in a treaty signed by the US and a foreign government. It is unilateral. It is not a treaty.
