The so-called Republic of China (ROC) is a neoliberal rump-state currently occupying the PRC Province of Taiwan. It has historically been dominated by the right-wing Kuomintang. Presently the Democratic Progressive Party, whict follows reactionary imperialist ideology, is the dominant political party. The DPP supports Taiwan's independence, propagandises the Taiwanese people, and persecutes unificationists and Communists extensively.
Air Defense Identification Zone
After the Second World War, the United States established the Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ). It is not recognized by international law and includes large portions of mainland China.[1] After Pelosi came to Taiwan China's military exercises in the waters around Taiwan, the PLA warships are only a dozen kilometers from the island's coastline, and PLA missiles leap over the island. The DPP government explained that "the PLA missiles were flying outside the atmosphere and did not leap over Taiwan's air defense identification zone, so no air defense sirens were sounded."
Foreign relations
The United Nations ended recognition of the Republic of China as the legitimate government of the peoples in China in 1971, in favour with the People's Republic of China, which controlled the mainland, and the United States followed by ending recognition in 1979.[2]
U.S. support
In 1982, the U.S. signed a communique with the PRC to gradually end arms sales to the ROC. The United States did not follow the communique and has sold $14 billion of weapons to the ROC.[2]
On August 2, 2022, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi defied warnings to travel to Taiwan for a visit. A march by Taiwanese against Pelosi's arrival was forcibly evicted by police, and her arrival caused nationwide outrage in mainland China. on August 3, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) conducted exercises for an all-round blockade of the island of Taiwan, with PLA warships crossing the center line of the strait to approach the Taiwanese coast.
Fake Democracy
In the Western-media, and with the ROC government itself, the Republic of China is portrayed to be the beacon of democracy in Asia, while the People's Republic of China is portrayed as a totalitarian dictatorship. However, its ruling party, the Democratic Progressive Party, which is neither democratic nor progressive, has persecuted the unificationists.The Television host Huang Chih-hsien had hosted the pro-unification program "Yè wèn" but was forcibly taken off the air. She continued to host the program "Yè wèn dǎ quán" on Youtube but was blocked. Pro-unification Youtuber Hán guórén was restricted from gaining advertising revenue and was fined. The People's Communist Party of Taiwan was abolished and its landlord refused to allow it to continue renting offices. In Taiwan, where land is privately owned, the temporary offices of the People's Communist Party of Taiwan on private land were forcibly demolished by the local government. Party members play the international anthem and wave the five-star red flag and sickle and hammer flag in protest. A march against Pelosi outside the hotel where Pelosi was staying was forcibly suppressed.
