Taiwan Should be Recognised by the United Nations as an Independent Nation

Thanks to my opponent form their opening statement. In this round I will give my own argument why Taiwan should not be recognized as an independent nation, then in the final round I will address my opponents arguments and clarify my own points.The most important question to ask is, “how did Taiwan come into being?”The special governing state that is known as Taiwan today was initially inhabited by Aboriginal tribes for many years before the Chinese officially arrived. As my opponent is specifically addressing China, I gather they mean that we are addressing the Chinese occupations recognition as an independent state.(1) The Chinese then occupied Taiwan through a series of migrations over the years starting from the about the 1650s on. The Chinese then controlled Taiwan until 1894, when the Japanese occupied it after China lost the first Sino-Japanese War. Japan controlled Taiwan until the end of WW2, where after China regained control of Taiwan and thats is where the history also starts to get interesting.It is at this point important to distinguish between the China (the Peoples Republic of China) that we know today and the Republic of China. At the end of WW2 there was a popular peoples revolt in China led by Mao Zedong of the Chinese Communist Party which crushed the Republic of China (ROC) and created the Peoples Republic of China (PRC).(2,3) At this point the defeated ROC with their immense wealth and stolen cultural objects fled to Taiwan with the express intent of relaunching an attack on the Chinese mainland.(4)At first the UN did not recognize the PRC from 1949 (when the ROC was defeated) until 1971.(5) The main reason was that the PRC was communist. If you do not believe this then you should realize that the main opponent to the PRC becoming a member of the UN was the US. In fact the US only accepted the PRC's status in 1979 (well after the rest of the world and the UN) which was astounding as it was still in the grips of the cold war.(6) However, clearly international pressure was beginning to mount with the popular uprising victor awarded the spoils of war.From this we can see that the PRC is the governing country of the state of Taiwan, as it is Chinese territory when we follow and analyze the well established history. It should be remembered that in wars or popular uprisings of the people over oppressive governments we usually cheer.(7) It seems however that my opponent wants to jeer in the face of the Chinese popular uprising. Is my opponent in fact championing the oppressive reign of Chiang Kai-Shek? He was after all the president of the ROC for an undemocratic 25 years.(8) In fact, he is one of the major reasons that the popular uprising in China happened under Mao in the first place.(9)It seems to me really a clear and shut case that Taiwan should not be independent, as the state was started by a tyrant and a thief whose main aim was to attack China again. Is this what we as a civilized people want to teach and accept? Should we be supporting ISIS as they try overthrow a democratically elected government?In this round I have shown Taiwan is historically and logically a state of China. I have also shown that the state of Tawian (ROC) was a defeated tyrannical government thats express aim was to attack China again. If the USA had given them support the ROC would have probably crushed the popular uprising of the people in China.I now hand the debate back to my opponent.(1) http://chineseculture.about.com...
