Next, the ROC officials announced the mass naturalization of native Taiwanese persons as “ROC citizens” in Jan. 1946, but the mass naturalization of native persons in occupied territory is also a war crime. Then the ROC government began military conscription policies over the native Taiwanese populace in the late 1940s, before the post-war peace treaty had even been drafted, to commit a third war crime.

In most fields of endeavor, “three strikes and you are out” is the rule, however the international community has not sought to punish the ROC for its flagrant misrule over the native Taiwanese people, with the result that the illegal ROC government continues to administer and control Taiwan up to the present day, all the while proclaiming itself to be a sovereign government.

In fact, the ROC is only a subordinate occupying power (beginning Oct. 25, 1945) and government in exile (beginning Dec. 1949). The obvious question which must be raised is: As a American investor in Taiwan, is one allowed to tell the local government officials that “The ROC is not the legal government of Taiwan?” ??

To what extent is it possible to get US Congressional officials involved in such clarifications? Perhaps Raymond M. Brown could discuss matters such as these in a follow up article.
