What is the disposition of Taiwan under the San Francisco Peace Treaty of 1952?
549982
Japan renounced the territorial sovereignty of Taiwan in the peace treaty, but no recipient was designated. According to authoritative research on international treaty law and the laws of war, under such circumstances the title to Taiwan territory escheats to "the conqueror," which in the post-Napoleonic period is "the principal occupying power."  Article 23 of the peace treaty confirms that the United States is the principal occupying power.

Chinese Taipei is another name for Taiwan or the Republic of China.\n\nWhen people say China, they refer to Mainland China also known as the People's Republic of China, Red China, or Communist China.

Good question, but I think you should add "Why has the majority of the world abandoned Taiwan."\n\nApparently, even the Vatican is considering cutting off diplomatic relations with Taiwan and switching to the PRC. Has God changed his mind?\n\nIf people truly believe in Democracy and freedom, they will support Taiwan; others, especially most governments, are just hypocrites.

Ok. Yes We would get involved with international support or not. The fact is we have invested way to much time money into Taiwan to let it change Gov'ts. The US however keeps an open opinion on the situation so not to effect the way china feels. Though taiwan is a thorn in china's side and they want it back they will not risk loosing all they have including there recent economic gains in the international community in order to take back such a minimal benefit. If you really want more of an answer just message me back!

Interesting topic for discussion. Unfortunately, due to political issues dating back to Mao and the Nationalists, Taiwan and China just can't separate themselves from one another. The U.S. has a hard time choosing sides because while China helps the pocketbook, Taiwan supports the US ideal of democracy. It also helps to keep good ties to an up and coming military power such as China, wouldn't want to upset them too much considering we serve as Japan's military (although Japan is starting to acquire more defensive weaponry).

China! Japan jointly dev missle defense w/ US, opened embassy in Taiwan, working on treaty to deploy combat forces alongside US in defense of Taiwan. Taiwan just dropped reunification cmte to huge PRC protest. Much more. Recall our lost navy spy plane/crew, Japan just chased a PRC sub out of their waters, PRC def buildup, ROC buyingg subs w/ US foreign aide. Cold war is started & the navy trains for a hot one.

Here goes!!!\n\nIn March 1959, both houses of Congress passed the Admission Act and U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed it into law. (The act excluded Palmyra Atoll, part of the Kingdom and Territory of Hawaiʻi, from the new state.) On June 27 of that year, a plebiscite was held asking residents of Hawaiʻi to vote on accepting the statehood bill. Hawaiʻi voted 17 to 1 to accept. On August 21, church bells throughout Honolulu were rung upon the proclamation that Hawaiʻi was the 50th state of the Union.

Taiwan and Vatican City. As the source says, that depends on whether or not you consider Taiwan a country.

Over the years I have read many accounts where people state that the "Republic of China on Taiwan" is a government in exile.  I have yet to see the definitive explanation of why that is the truth, but I am very much interested in all related details. \n\nFor this Yahoo question, I did a Google Blogsearch using the keywords of "Taiwan US territory"  and then I looked at the Comments posted by visitors to the websites.  The site of http://www.taiwankey.net/dc/tforumtw.htm is mentioned in several Blogs, and indeed that site has full information on this new lawsuit.  There are numerous links to background information (including US Supreme Court decisions regarding "overseas territories") which have relevance to the Taiwan status question as well.  \n\nA link to the court documents (16 pages in PDF format) is also there.\n\nSo .... it appears that the truth is out, and this truth has finally reached the US federal court system -- Taiwan is an overseas territory of the USA.

It would be as if China told us that Florida doesn't really belong to the U.S. and Floridians got it into their heads that they wanted to separate from us. We would not be too happy about the situation and we would most likely take Florida back by force. Well the Chinese have always felt that Taiwan is a part of China and have never recognized them as independent. But being a democratic country we refuse to let China rush in there and take them by force so whenever China has tried we send ships to block their way. Now that Taiwan is so successful it just burns the Chinese even more and they really want their "state" back and all the wealth it brings. Americans just won't let them and rightfully so.

You have to give a specific time frame, Asian people are still immigrating to the US.\n\n[Edit]\n"The United States claimed the city on January 30, 1847, during the Mexican-American War. At that point, despite its useful location as a port and naval base, San Francisco was still a small settlement with inhospitable geography. But two years later, the California gold rush brought a wave of migration and immigration, raising the population from 1,000 to 25,000 by December 1849. The railroad, banking, and mining industries became major economic forces in the city.\n\nThe influx of Chinese workers created a sizable Chinatown district, and Chinese Americans remain one of the city's largest ethnic groups. Hostility toward immigrants contributed to lynchings and race riots in the 1850s, and to the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, which drastically restricted immigration from China until 1943."\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Franciso#History\n\nChinese Exclusion Act http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_Exclusion_Act_%28United_States%29

The Taiwanese-American community strongly supports the sale of F-16s to Taiwan. 95% of the Taiwanese in the United States are pro-independence and believe that the F-16 sale is an important step in the eventual establishment of an independent, democrat Republic of Taiwan. \n\nTaiwan has been colonized in succession by Spain, the Netherlands, the Manchus, the Japanese and finally, the Nationalist Chinese Kuomintang party, the KMT. Taiwan, long despised by the Chinese as a frontier area inhabited by savages, was colonized by the Taiwanese for the same reasons that the first Europeans came to America: to escape oppressive economic and political conditions in their homelands. The national identity of the Taiwanese has grown out of this twin experience of colonialism and pioneering, just as the American spirit did. \n\nToday, the KMT still controls Taiwan. Most Americans are unfamiliar with the KMT's 38 years of martial law rule and the terror inflicted on the Taiwanese known as the `White Terror,' in which thousands of people disappeared. To be sure, there has been some political liberalization and progress in the last decade, forced upon the KMT by domestic and international pressure. However, the KMT still controls the electronic media. It threatens to ban the opposition, refuses to allow public discussion of the opposition's platform and jails persons opposed to the regime. Despite KMT claims to the contrary, many Taiwanese in exile are still not permitted to return to Taiwan, in violation of the UN declaration on human rights, to which the KMT government is a signatory. \n\nBecause both the People's Republic of China and the KMT claim to be the sole legitimate government of `China,' they force countries to recognize one or the other. This has meant isolation for the people of Taiwan. The utter bankruptcy of this policy has been exposed by South Korea's recent decision to switch recognition to the PRC. At this time, only one nation of any importance, South Africa, recognizes Taiwan, as China. Taiwan is not a member of major international organizations and its 20 million inhabitants are not represented in the UN. It cannot even be found in World Bank economic statistics. \n\nIndependence advocates believe that a democratic Republic of Taiwan is the answer to the twin problems of KMT oppression and Chinese expansionism. An independent, democratic Taiwan would be a welcome addition to the United Nations, the World Bank and other international organizations. At home, stripped of its claim to represent China, the KMT is just another right-wing political party struggling to hold on to its undemocratic and oppressive rule by the shop-worn methods of propaganda, electoral malfeasance and outright terror. In an independent Taiwan, it could not last. \n\nChina's claim to Taiwan and repeated threats to use force against it are the reasons Taiwan needs F-16s. The PRC is clearly an expansionist state. China has from time to time claimed all or part of Korea, Russia, Mongolia, Tibet, India, Vietnam, Singapore, Taiwan, Japan and sundry islands in the seas around it. If China's leaders could hit upon a way to go about it, they would no doubt claim the Chinatowns of Los Angeles and New York too and demand allegiance from Chinese-Americans. \n\nIn recent years China has been upgrading its offensive capability. It has acquired the highly-regarded Su-27 and Mig-31 fighters from Russia. China has also purchased an airborne early warning capability and midair refueling technology. It has been pursuing a policy of naval expansion, laying down escort ships and attempting to build or procure an aircraft carrier. It has placed troops on islands in the South China sea, causing grave concern among staunch U.S. allies in Singapore, Manila and Jakarta. \n\nArthur Waldron, writing in the Wall Street Journal, sketched a scenario in which, without this sale, China's military expansionism might provoke military buildups, perh
