The [[legal]] question of which legal entity holds ''[[de jure]]'' '''sovereignty over the island of Taiwan''' is a controversial issue. Various legal claims have been made by the [[People's Republic of China]] (PRC), the [[Republic of China]] (ROC), and supporters of [[Taiwan independence]] over this question, with a variety of arguments advanced by all sides. The question has significant bearing on the [[political status of Taiwan]], and touches upon many aspects of [[international law]]. On a ''de facto'' basis, sovereignty over [[Taiwan]] is exercised by the Republic of China.
This is a list of the most prolific DYK contributors - those who have at least 25 contributions to DYK. The list originated from a discussion on [[User Talk:Yomangani/Archive _9#100th_DYK|User:Yomagani's Talk Page]]. If you feel that you have enough DYKs to qualify for this list, please feel free to update the list accordingly, but make sure you provide a viable reference source (such as, perhaps, a place on your user page where you document your number of DYK contributions). Also, if you know of a user who may challenge any of the people on this list, then the same applies, and references are needed to support a place on the list. Also note that it is very unlikely that the list is 100% accurate, because there are likely many Wikipedians out there whose DYKs have not been counted, or who choose not to display the number of DYKs they have. There is also the factor that the list is not automatically updated. Please also note that this list counts each user's DYK '''creations and nominations'''. This list also may be used to keep track of who needs to be awarded the 25 DYK medal, 50 DYK medal, 100 DYK medal, and 200 DYK medal. Thank you. -- [[User:Anonymous Dissident|Anonymous Dissident]] <small>(creator)</small>


'''On an important note: Please do not see this list as a competition, but rather a celebration of some of the hardest working DYK contributors, and the efforts they put in to DYK nominations.'''</noinclude>
==Historical overview==
[[Taiwan]] (Formosa) and the [[Pescadores]] were permanently ceded by [[Qing Dynasty]] [[China]] to [[Imperial Japan]] via Articles 2b and 2c of the [[Treaty of Shimonoseki]] in [[May 8]], [[1895]] in one of what the Chinese term as an [[unequal treaty]]. [[Kinmen]] and [[Matsu Islands]] on the coast of [[Fujian#Quemoy and Matsu|Fukien]], and the [[South China Sea Islands|islands in the South China Sea]] currently administered by the [[Republic of China]] on Taiwan were not part of the cession.


== DYK Participation list ==
In 1895, subsequent to the [[Treaty of Shimonoseki]], officials in Taiwan declared independence in the hope of returning the island to Qing rule. The [[Republic of Taiwan (1895)]] collapsed after 12 days due to political infighting, but local leaders continued resistance in the hope of achieving self-rule. The incoming Japanese crushed the island's independence bid in a five-month campaign.

The [[China|Chinese]] [[Qing Dynasty]] was subsequently overthrown and replaced by the [[Republic of China]] (ROC). Upon the outbreak of the [[Second Sino-Japanese War]], the ROC declared the [[Treaty of Shimonoseki]] void in its declaration of war on Japan. The war soon merged with [[World War II]], and Japan was subsequently defeated in 1945 by the [[Allied Powers]], of which the ROC was a part.

† Including expansions
The United States entered the War in December 1941. Most military attacks against Japanese installations and Japanese troops in Taiwan were conducted by [[United States]] military forces. At the [[Cairo Conference]], the U.S., [[United Kingdom]], and the ROC agreed that Taiwan was to be restored to the ROC after the war, and the [[Potsdam Declaration]] outlined the terms of surrender.


<noinclude>----
When [[Japan]] unconditionally surrendered, it accepted in its [[Japanese Instrument of Surrender|Instrument of Surrender]] the terms of the Potsdam Declaration. Japanese troops in Taiwan were directed to surrender to the representatives of the Supreme Allied Commander in the China Theater, [[Chiang Kai-shek]] (i.e. the Republic of China military forces), according to the directions of General [[Douglas MacArthur]], head of the United States Military Government, in [[General Order No. 1]], which was issued [[September 2]], [[1945]]. Chief Executive [[Chen Yi (Kuomintang)|Chen Yi]] soon proclaimed "Taiwan [[Retrocession Day]]" on [[October 25]], [[1945]].

When the [[228 Incident]] erupted in February 28, 1947, the U.S. Consulate-General in [[Taipei]] prepared a report in early March, calling for an immediate intervention in the name of the U.S. or the [[United Nations]]. Based on the argument that the Japanese surrender did not formally transfer sovereignty, Taiwan was still legally part of Japan and occupied by the United States (with administrative authority for the occupation delegated to the Chinese Nationalists), and a direct intervention was appropriate for a territory with such status. This proposed intervention, however, was rejected by the [[U.S. State Department]]. In a news report on the aftermath of the ''228 Incident'', some Formosans were reported to be talking of appealing to the United Nations to put the island under an international mandate, since China's possession of Taiwan had not been formalized by any international treaties by that time and the island was therefore still under belligerent occupation.<ref name=NYT033047>{{Citation

After the outbreak of the [[Korean War]], [[President of the United States|U.S. President]] [[Harry S. Truman]] decided to "neutralize" Taiwan claiming that it could otherwise trigger another world war. In June 1950, President Truman, who had previously given only passive support to Chiang Kai-shek and was prepared to see Taiwan fall into the hands of the [[Chinese Communists]], vowed to stop the spread of communism and sent the [[U.S. Seventh Fleet]] into the [[Taiwan Strait]] to prevent the PRC from attacking Taiwan, but also to prevent the ROC from attacking mainland China. He declared that "the determination of the future status of Formosa must await the restoration of security in the Pacific, a peace settlement with Japan, or consideration by the United Nations."<ref>{{Citation

On [[September 8]], [[1950]], President Truman ordered [[John Foster Dulles]], then Foreign Policy Advisor to the [[U.S. Secretary of State]], to carry out his decision on "neutralizing" Taiwan in drafting the [[Treaty of Peace with Japan]] ([[San Francisco]] Peace Treaty) of 1951. According to [[George H. Kerr]]'s memoir ''Formosa Betrayed'', Dulles devised a plan whereby Japan would first merely renounce its sovereignty over Taiwan without a recipient country to allow the sovereignty over Taiwan to be determined together by the United States, the [[United Kingdom]], [[Soviet Union]], and Republic of China on behalf of other nations on the peace treaty. The question of Taiwan would be taken into the United Nations (which the ROC was [[China and the United Nations|still part]]), if these four parties could not reach into an agreement within one year.

When Japan regained sovereignty over itself in 1952 with the conclusion of the [[San Francisco Peace Treaty]] with 48 nations, Japan renounced all claims and title over Taiwan and the Pescadores. Many claim that Japanese sovereignty only terminated at that point. Notably absent at the peace conference was the ROC which was expelled from [[mainland China]] in December 1949 as a result of the [[Chinese Civil War]] and had retreated to Taiwan. The PRC, which was proclaimed [[October 1]], [[1949]], was also not invited. The lack of invitation was probably due to the dispute over which government was the legitimate government of China (which both governments claimed to be); however, [[Cold War]] considerations might have played a part as well. Some major governments represented in the San Francisco Conference, such as the UK and Soviet Union, had already established relations with the PRC, while others, such as the U.S. and Japan, still held relations with the ROC.

The UK at that time stated for the record that the San Francisco Peace Treaty "itself does not determine the future of these islands," and therefore the UK, along with [[Australia]] and [[New Zealand]], was happy to sign the peace treaty.<ref name=taipeitimes20070930>{{Citation

Article 25 of this treaty officially stipulated that only the Allied Powers defined in the treaty could benefit from this treaty. China was not listed as one of the [[Allied Powers]]; however, article 21 still provided limited benefits from Articles 10 and 14(a)2 for China. Japan's cession of Taiwan is unusual in that no recipient of Taiwan was stated as part of Dulles's plan of "neutralizing" Taiwan. The ROC protested its lack of invitation to the San Francisco Peace conference, to no avail.

![[User:Carabinieri|Carabinieri]]
Subsequently, the [[Treaty of Taipei]] was concluded between the ROC and Japan (effective [[August 5]], [[1952]]), where Japan basically re-affirmed the terms of the San Francisco Peace Treaty, and formalized the peace between the ROC and Japan. It also nullified all previous treaties made between China and Japan, implicitly repealing the Treaty of Shimonoseki. Article 10 of the treaty specifies: "For the purposes of the present Treaty, nationals of the Republic of China shall be deemed to include all the inhabitants and former inhabitants of Taiwan (Formosa) and Penghu (the Pescadores) and their descendants who are of the Chinese nationality in accordance with the laws and regulations which have been or may hereafter be enforced by the Republic of China in Taiwan (Formosa) and Penghu (the Pescadores)." However, the ROC Minister of Foreign Affairs George Kung-ch'ao Yeh ([http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E8%91%89%E5%85%AC%E8%B6%85 葉公超]) told the Legislative Yuan after signing the treaty that: "The delicate international situation makes it that they [Taiwan and Penghu] do not belong to us. Under present circumstances, Japan has no right to transfer [Taiwan] to us; nor can we accept such a transfer from Japan even if she so wishes."<ref name=taipeitimes20070930 /> In July 1971 the State Department's position was, and remains: "As Taiwan and the Pescadores are not covered by any existing international disposition, sovereignty over the area is an unsettled question subject to future international resolution."<ref name=taipeitimes20070930 />

![[User:Casliber|Casliber]]
'''Arguments common to both the PRC and ROC''' ("Chinese" here is an ambiguous term that could mean the PRC and/or ROC as legal government(s) of [[China]].)
| 106
# Taiwan has been a part of Chinese territory since the [[Qing Dynasty]] (by written record).
|[[User:Casliber/DYK]]
# The waging of aggressive war by Japan against China in 1937 and beyond violates the peace that was brokered in the [[Treaty of Shimonoseki]], and with the declaration of war against Japan, that treaty is void. Therefore, with no valid transfer of sovereignty having taken place, the sovereignty of Taiwan naturally belongs to China.
|-
# The [[Cairo Declaration]] of December 1, 1943 and [[Potsdam Declaration|Potsdam Proclamation]] of July 26, 1945 were accepted by Japan in its surrender. Those documents clearly state that Taiwan was to be restored to Chinese sovereignty (ROC) at the end of World War II.
![[User:P.K.Niyogi|P.K.Niyogi]]
# The proclamation of Taiwan [[Retrocession Day]] on October 25, 1945, by the ROC (when the PRC had not yet been founded) was entirely uncontested. Had another party been sovereign over Taiwan, that party would have had a period of years in which to protest, and its failure to do so represents cession of rights in the manner of [[prescription (law)|prescription]]. The lack of protest by any non-Chinese government persists to this day, further strengthening this argument.
| 106
# The exclusion of Chinese governments (both ROC and PRC) in the negotiation process of the [[San Francisco Peace Treaty]] (SFPT) nullified any legal binding power of the SFPT on China. In addition, the fact that neither ROC nor PRC government ever ratified SFPT terms, prescribes that the SFPT is irrelevant to any discussion of Chinese sovereignty.

# [[Taiwanese culture]] and [[Chinese culture]] have many similarities, currently the majority of Taiwanese are descendants of [[Han Chinese]] who moved to Taiwan from [[mainland China]].

# While Taiwan independence supporters once used arguments not in favor of Chinese sovereignty to dispute to legitimacy of the [[Kuomintang]]-controlled government that ruled over Taiwan, these arguments have been dropped by a majority (except the most extreme) supporters of independence due to the democratization of Taiwan. This has allowed the more moderate supporters of independence, such as President [[Chen Shui-bian]], to stress the [[popular sovereignty]] theory in order to accept the legitimacy of the Republic of China (whose government the [[Democratic Progressive Party]] now controls) in Taiwan. President Chen has repeatedly confirmed that the "Republic of China is Taiwan."

'''Arguments in support of PRC sovereignty claims'''<br>

# The PRC does not recognize the validity of any of the unequal treaties the Qing signed in the "century of humiliation," as it considers them all unjust and illegal. As such, the cession of Taiwan in the 1895 [[Treaty of Shimonoseki]] actually never took place in a ''de jure'' fashion. The PRC, as the successor to the Qing and ROC in that order, therefore inherited the sovereignty of Taiwan.
|[[User:Vaoverland]]
# The return of the sovereignty of Taiwan to the ROC was confirmed on October 25, 1945, on the basis of the [[Cairo Declaration]], [[Potsdam Declaration|Potsdam Proclamation]] , [[Japanese Instrument of Surrender]], and the invalidity of the [[Treaty of Shimonoseki]]. According to [[United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2758]], the PRC became the successor government to the ROC in representing China, and as such the PRC unquestionably holds the sovereignty of Taiwan.
|-
# The Preamble to the 1982 version of the PRC Constitution states that "Taiwan is part of the sacred territory of the People's Republic of China. It is the lofty duty of the entire Chinese people, including our compatriots in Taiwan, to accomplish the great task of reunifying the motherland. In building socialism it is imperative to rely on the workers, peasants and intellectuals and unite with all the forces that can be united." (The 1978 version of the PRC Constitution was the first to mention the PRC's claims over Taiwan; previous incarnations were silent about Taiwan.)

The Treaty of Shimonoseki was a [[dispositive treaty]], therefore it is not voidable or nullifiable (this doctrine being that treaties specifying particular actions which can be ''completed,'' once the action ''gets completed,'' '''cannot''' be voided or reversed without a new treaty specifically reversing that clause). Hence, the ''[[unequal treaty doctrine]]'' cannot be applied to this treaty. By way of comparison, as 200,000,000 Kuping [[tael]]s were not returned to China from [[Japan]], and [[Korea]] had not become a Chinese-dependent country again, the cession in the treaty was executed and cannot be nullified. The disposition of Formosa and the Pescadores in this treaty was a legitimate cession by conquest, confirmed by treaty, and thus is not a theft, as described as "all the territories Japan has stolen from the Chinese" in [[Cairo Declaration]]. It should also be noted that the Qing court exercised effective rule over primarily the west coast of Taiwan only, and even then did not regard the area as an integral part of national Chinese territory.

# The so-called [[Cairo Declaration]] was merely an unsigned press communique which does not carry a legal status, while the [[Potsdam Declaration|Potsdam Proclamation]] and [[Japanese Instrument of Surrender|Instrument of Surrender]] are simply [[modus vivendi]] and [[armistice]] that function as temporary records and do not bear legally binding power to transfer sovereignty. Good faith of interpretation only takes place at the level of treaties.

# The retrocession proclaimed by ROC in 1945 was legally null and impossible since Taiwan was still ''de jure'' part of Japan before the post-war [[San Francisco Peace Treaty]] came into effect on April 28, 1952.

# Sovereignty transfer to the ROC by [[prescription (law)|prescription]] does not apply to Taiwan's case since:
![[User:Sengkang|Sengkang]]
:1) Prescription is the manner of acquiring property by a long, honest, and uninterrupted possession or use during the time required by law. The possession must have been ''possessio longa, continua, et pacifica, nec sit ligitima interruptio'' (long, continued, peaceable, and without lawful interruption). For prescription to apply, the state with title to the territory must acquiesce to the action of the other state. Yet, PRC has never established an occupation on Taiwan and exercised sovereignty for one single day, 2) Prescription as a rule for acquiring sovereignty itself is not universally accepted. The [[International Court of Justice]] ruled that Belgium retained its sovereignty over territories even by non-assertion of its rights and by acquiescence to acts of sovereign control alleged to have been exercised by the Netherlands over a period of 109 years.,<ref>{{Citation

# As one of the "territories which detached from enemy states as a result of the Second World War" defined in the articles 76b and 77b of the [[United Nations Charter]], which China signed in 1945 and also defined in the protocol of [[Yalta Conference]], Taiwan qualifies for the UN trusteeship program, and after a period of time would later be considered fully independent. The ROC, as a founding member of the United Nations, has a treaty obligation to comply with the UN Charter and to help the people living in Taiwan enjoy the right of [[self-determination]].
|[[User:JayHenry/opuses]]
# The [[San Francisco Peace Treaty]] is definitive, where Japan ceded Taiwan without specifying a clear recipient. China was prohibited from acquiring Taiwan sovereignty as a benefit when the treaty was finalized. Moreover, the [[Treaty of Taipei]] only became effective on Aug. 5, 1952, over three months after the coming into force of the [[San Francisco Peace Treaty]] on April 28, 1952. Hence, the [[Treaty of Taipei]] cannot be interpreted to have ceded the sovereignty of Taiwan to the ROC or the PRC, as Japan cannot cede what it no longer possessed.
|-
# Since the peace brokered in the Boxer Protocol of 1901 was breached by the second Sino-Japanese War, the [[San Francisco Peace Treaty]] specifies that the date to be used in returning territory to China in Article 10 was 1901, not 1895. The [[postliminium]] restoration of China was completed without sovereignty over Taiwan since Taiwan was not part of China when the first Chinese Republic was established in 1911. Moreover, the [[Treaty of Taipei]] was abrogated by Japan upon the PRC's request in 1972.

# Cession of Taiwan without a recipient was neither unusual nor unique, since [[Cuba]], as a precedent, was ceded by Spain without recipient in [[Treaty of Paris (1898)|Treaty of Paris of 1898]] as the result of [[Spanish-American War]].

This is important because Article 10 of the [[Treaty of Taipei]] specifies: "For the purposes of the present Treaty, nationals of the Republic of China shall be deemed to include all the inhabitants and former inhabitants of Taiwan (Formosa) and Penghu (the Pescadores) and their descendents who are of the Chinese nationality in accordance with the laws and regulations which have been or may hereafter be enforced by the Republic of China in Taiwan (Formosa) and Penghu (the Pescadores) ... " Since no relevant laws or regulations have ever been promulgated, there is no legal basis to consider native Taiwanese persons as ROC citizens.

# The sovereignty of Taiwan naturally belongs to the Taiwanese people, who are entitled to form their own government under the nomenclature of their own chosing. According to recent polls in Taiwan, an increasing percentage of the populace favors Taiwan independence under the moniker of [[Republic of Taiwan]] (ROT). [[Self-determination]] is a fundamental right of people everywhere.
| 48
# Furthermore it is recognized that the ROC government currently administering Taiwan is not the same ROC that accepted Japanese surrender in 1945, because the ruling authorities were given popular mandate by different pools of constituencies: one is the mainland Chinese electorate, the other local Taiwanese. The popular sovereignty theory, to which the [[Pan-Green coalition]] subscribes, emphasizes that Taiwan could make fundamental constitutional changes and choose a new national title by means of a popular referendum. (In contrast, the ROC legal theory, which is supported by the [[Pan-Blue coalition]] suggests that any fundamental constitutional changes would require that the amendment procedure of the ROC constitution be followed.)
|[[User:Howcheng#DYK]] <ref name="Yoman"/>
# Nevertheless the popular sovereignty theory (which currently has wide support in Taiwan) does not contradict any arguments in favor of [[self-determination]], nor does it affirm arguments in favor of Chinese sovereignty. This means that at present the only obstacle against declaring Taiwan independence is a lack of consensus among the Taiwanese people to do so; however it is clear that the consensus is changing as the Taiwanese people begin preparations for their 15th application for entrance to the United Nations in the fall of 2007.

# The [[San Francisco Peace Treaty]]'s omission of China as a participant was not an accident of history, but reflected the very true fact that the ROC had failed to maintain its original position as the ''de jure'' and ''de facto'' government of China. By fleeing to occupied Taiwan in December 1949, the ROC had already become a [[government in exile]].
![[User:Brian0918|Brian0918]]
# Under international law, there are no actions which a [[government in exile]] can take in its current location of residence in order to be recognized as the local legitimate government. Hence, Taiwan's current international problems have arisen from the fact that the ROC government in exile is not internationally recognized as the legitimate government of Taiwan. The ROC should be dissolved and succeeded by the ROT.

A small number of people have argued that the [[United States]] holds in trust the sovereignty over Taiwan based on the San Francisco Peace Treaty's cession of Taiwan without a recipient.<ref>{{Cite news

The argument also states that the ROC troops were acting under the directions of the United States when entering Taiwan. The relationship has never been formally terminated, hence the basis for the claim.

This is a list of the most prolific DYK contributors - those who have at least 25 contributions to DYK. The list originated from a discussion on User:Yomagani's Talk Page. If you feel that you have enough DYKs to qualify for this list, please feel free to update the list accordingly, but make sure you provide a viable reference source (such as, perhaps, a place on your user page where you document your number of DYK contributions). Also, if you know of a user who may challenge any of the people on this list, then the same applies, and references are needed to support a place on the list. Also note that it is very unlikely that the list is 100% accurate, because there are likely many Wikipedians out there whose DYKs have not been counted, or who choose not to display the number of DYKs they have. There is also the factor that the list is not automatically updated. Please also note that this list counts each user's DYK creations and nominations. This list also may be used to keep track of who needs to be awarded the 25 DYK medal, 50 DYK medal, 100 DYK medal, and 200 DYK medal. Thank you. -- Anonymous Dissident (creator)

On an important note: Please do not see this list as a competition, but rather a celebration of some of the hardest working DYK contributors, and the efforts they put in to DYK nominations.
