Wait, but before Japan took over Taiwan it was China's territory...I suppose some would say that the government of China then is the government of Taiwan now. If you look at Taiwan as being an "occupied" territory of some sort then if they didn't "occupy" those islands then it doesn't belong to that government anymore, if the current Chinese government acquired all of their old territory. There's some scholar who says that Taiwan is actually US territory that they haven't fully relinquished yet, but then what about the territories that the US technically didn't conquer but Taiwan holds?
Still doesn't touch on Japan's position...I haven't read into this at all.
Meh, politics, law, let politicians deal with its inconsistencies and paradoxes :P |
