Oct. 25, 1971 | People’s Republic of China In, Taiwan Out, at U.N.

(October 25, 2011)

On Oct. 25, 1971, the United Nations General Assembly voted to admit the People’s Republic of China (mainland China) and to expel the Republic of China (Taiwan). The Communist P.R.C. therefore assumed the R.O.C.’s place in the General Assembly as well as its place as one of the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council. (…)

The United States, the most significant opponent of the resolution, then argued for the P.R.C. to be admitted separately from the R.O.C., which would have allowed the R.O.C. to retain its spot. The proposal was defeated.

Macron Stands By China Comments After Drawing Criticism

“This is something the president stands by entirely,” a French diplomat told reporters, according to Reuters.

Macron’s warning that Europe shouldn’t be “America’s followers” is part of his vision for Europe to have “strategic autonomy” from the US, an idea that some EU officials support.

Charles Michel, the head of the EU’s European Council, said “quite a few” European leaders think like Macron when it comes to the relationship with the US.

Europe must resist pressure to become ‘America’s followers,’ says Macron

ABOARD COTAM UNITÉ (FRANCE’S AIR FORCE ONE) — Europe must reduce its dependency on the United States and avoid getting dragged into a confrontation between China and the U.S. over Taiwan, French President Emmanuel Macron said in an interview on his plane back from a three-day state visit to China.

Speaking with POLITICO and two French journalists after spending around six hours with Chinese President Xi Jinping during his trip, Macron emphasized his pet theory of “strategic autonomy” for Europe, presumably led by France, to become a “third superpower.”

US hypes joint sanctions on China over ‚military aid to Russia‘ smears, ‚wooing allies for bloc confrontation‘

Washington is reportedly consulting US allies to impose sanctions on China in a coordinated manner „if China provides military support for Russia“ – an unwarranted smear by the US that has intensified in recent weeks.

Observers said on Thursday that the US‘ intentions behind the „open secret“ are crystal clear, including but not limited to justifying US sanctions and other anti-China deeds, undermining China‘s peaceful stance on the conflict to stain China‘s international image, as well as hijacking allies for a bloc confrontation taking shape.

Exclusive: EU has no right to interpret one-China principle without China’s recognition: Chinese envoy to EU

GT: Recently, Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and Director of the Office of the Central Commission for Foreign Affairs, visited multiple countries in Europe and also visited Russia. The visit came ahead of the one-year anniversary of the Russia-Ukraine crisis and attracted much attention. What signal do you think those visits sent to the world?

Fu: First, it is a signal of peace. Wang Yi made it very clear that on the Ukraine issue, our position is summed up in one sentence, that is, to promote peace. By visiting both Europe and Russia, the message is that China is promoting peace talks.

China is very worried about the current situation. The crisis is now clearly escalating, and both sides are preparing for the so-called spring offensive or counterattack, which means more killings.

The US Navy has conducted similar actions many times in the past with the aim to implement so-called „freedom of navigation“ in the Taiwan Straits and the South China Sea, while as long as the US vessels follow the rules of „innocent passage“ to keep low profile and pose no harm, turn off weapons and fire-control radar system, and bring no actual threat to China‘s security, the PLA would just follow and monitor, said experts, noting that there is no big difference this time as the US also doesn‘t want to put its old warships in danger.

They stressed that China will definitely impose sanctions on the visiting lawmakers as a countermeasure, as the country has always been firmly opposed to any collusion between the US and Taiwan secessionists.

Secessionists must not spoil the word ‚peace‘: Global Times editorial

The current situation is entirely caused by Pelosi and American politicians. China has made the utmost diplomatic efforts before, repeatedly warning the US of the seriousness and danger of Pelosi‘s visit to Taiwan. However, the US turned a deaf ear, went its own way, and even deliberately ignored China‘s emphasis – „Those who play with fire will perish by it“ – as no more than an often-used metaphor. Now they are manipulating the public opinion by complaining maliciously about China‘s „overreaction,“ doesn‘t the move come from their previous serious underestimation of China‘s determination and will?

It is both ironic and absurd that the key points of Washington‘s current accusations against China are only appropriate for the US itself, as if the US thinks of these wordings when looking in the mirror.

United States Relations with Chiang Kai-Shek, 1937-1949

Chiang was the leader of the most stable faction within China and consequently gave promise of being able to serve American interests. For this reason he was selected as the agent with whom the United States would treat with in China. During the years 1937-1949 the United States furnished Chiang Kai-shek‘s government a considerable amount of material and financial aid.

(…)

Some American officials thought that Chiang was merely taking all of the American aid he could get, then conserving his forces for a future struggle with the Chinese Communists f or control of China. There is evidence to support this viewpoint.

(…)

A final effort on the part of the United States to find some effective means of supporting Chiang Kai-shek and keeping him in power came in July, 1947 when the fact finding mission to China of General Albert C. Wedemeyer was arranged. His mission also failed to bring about any concrete results in regard to assisting Chiang Kai-shek. Recommendations in Wedemeyer‘s report, if followed, would have required a commitment of American troops far larger than the United States was willing to make. The American government was caught in a dilemma: a decision was necessary but the American people would not support sending large numbers of troops, Chiang would not follow American suggestions and Russia was a constant threat. Once again, America was „too late with too little“ and the mainland was lost to Chiang and Chiang‘s value as America’s agent in China was destroyed.

Chiang Kai-shek

Chiang Kai-shek oder Tschiang Kai-schek (chinesisch 蔣介石 / 蒋介石, Pinyin Jiǎng Jièshí, W.-G. Chiang Chieh-Shih, Zhuyin ㄐㄧㄤˇ ㄐㄧㄝˋ ㄕˊ, kantonesisch Chiang Kai-shek, Pe̍h-ōe-jī Chiúⁿ Kài-se̍k; * 31. Oktober 1887 als 蔣中正 / 蒋中正, Jiǎng Zhōngzhèng, Chiang Chung-cheng, Zhuyin ㄐㄧㄤˇ ㄓㄨㄥ ㄓㄥˋ, Pe̍h-ōe-jī ChiúⁿTiong-chìng; in Xikou, Landkreis Fenghua, Provinz Zhejiang, kaiserliches Qing-China; † 5. April 1975 in Taipeh) war ein chinesischer Militär und Politiker in der Zeit nach der Xinhai-Revolution (1911) und ab 1925 Führer der Kuomintang. Als solcher war er im Chinesischen Bürgerkrieg (1927–1949) der Gegenspieler Mao Zedongs und bis zur Machtübernahme der Kommunisten auf dem chinesischen Festland im Chinesischen Bürgerkrieg der führende Politiker Chinas. In dieser Zeit war er mehrfach Präsident sowie als Marschall und Generalissimus militärischer Oberbefehlshaber der Republik China.

Nach der Niederlage gegen die Kommunisten proklamierte Chiang Ende 1949 auf Taiwan (früher Formosa) die provisorische Regierung der Republik China. Er regierte teilweise diktatorisch und erhob bis zu seinem Tod 1975 mit US-Unterstützung Anspruch auf ganz China.

(…)

Um Japans Dominanz zu begegnen und den innerchinesischen Konflikt mit den Kommunisten für sich zu entscheiden, war es notwendig, die Modernisierung von Wirtschaft und Militär voranzutreiben. Unterstützung erhielt Chiang von Nazideutschland, das im Zuge seiner Aufrüstung auf chinesische Rohstoffe angewiesen war. Im Rahmen der chinesisch-deutschen Kooperation waren Hans von Seeckt von 1933 bis 1935 und dann Alexander von Falkenhausen von 1935 bis 1938 als Militärberater für Chiang tätig.

(…)

Chiangs Deichbruchaktion in der Provinz Henan am Gelben Fluss am 9. Juni 1938 mit der Idee, durch das Fluten ganzer Provinzen die japanische Armee aufzuhalten, forderte fast eine Million Tote. Die Flutungen bewirkten immerhin eine monatelange Unterbrechung des japanischen Feldzugs.

The US Military Was Just Used To Help A Dementia Patient Try To Start WW3

Here is a transcript of what Nancy Pelosi’s brain said:

“In our earliest days at our founding of our country, Benjamin Franklin, our presidency, said, freedom and democracy. Freedom and democracy, one thing, security here. If we don’t have- we can’t have either, if we don’t have both.”

Of course Benjamin Franklin was neither a president of the United States nor a “presidency”, and the quote Nancy’s floundering brain was reaching for was “Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.” These are not difficult things to remember or articulate for someone with functioning gray matter.

This is right up there with other famous neural malfunctions by the speaker, like her “Bernie loves hearing” gibberish from last year or her bizarre “Good morning, Sunday morning” restart in the middle of an interview a couple of years ago, and it calls to mind a DC pharmacist’s casual remark in 2017 that he had filled prescriptions to treat Alzheimer’s disease for some powerful decision makers on Capitol Hill.

Zuletzt erkannte der US-Präsident Donald Trump – seiner antichinesischen Rhetorik zum Trotz – 2017 die Ein-China-Politik der Volksrepublik als auch für die USA bindende Richtlinie an.

Dies änderte sich Stück für Stück mit der Amtsübernahme von Joe Biden. Biden war der erste US-Präsident seit der Wende der US-China-Politik in den späten 1970ern, der zu seiner Amtseinführung offiziell einen Gesandten Taiwans empfing. Im letzten Jahr erklärte er dann, dass die USA Taiwan im Falle eines Angriffs Chinas militärisch beistehen würden – das war überraschend, da das offizielle Beistandsabkommen 1980 ausgelaufen ist und nie verlängert wurde. Mit Bidens Amtsübernahme setzten sich auch die Waffenlieferungen der USA nach Taiwan nahtlos fort, die bereits unter seinen Vorgängern Obama und Trump stets neue Rekordzahlen erreicht hatten.

China ist seit jeher gegen den Besuch von US-Kongressmitgliedern in Taiwan. Und die US-Exekutive hat die Aufgabe, einen solchen Besuch zu verhindern. Da Sprecherin Pelosi die amtierende Vorsitzende des US-Kongresses ist, stellen ihr Besuch und ihre Aktivitäten in Taiwan, in welcher Form und aus welchem Grund auch immer, eine große politische Provokation dar.

PLA is not afraid to fight for defending sovereignty and security: Global Times editorial

The Chinese army has not fought a war for nearly 40 years. Such a long period of peace has been won by the joint efforts of the Party, the government, the PLA and all Chinese people. It has created basic conditions for China‘s comprehensive and rapid development and is worthy of being cherished and safeguarded.

But at the same time we need to keep reminding ourselves to maintain distance and vigilance against the naive mind-set that wishes for absolute pacifism. We must avoid the situation in which people no longer know how to fight after living in peace for so long. For a major country like China, the consequence of having a relaxed mentality on national defense construction is unthinkable.
