  1. Welcome to the T on Kmt regarding to have a
  2. former Kmt leaders of Taiwan contributed to their current struggle
  3. for independence and political recognition.
  4. Taiwan is a land located just off the southeast coast
  5. of mainland China.
  6. It hosts about 24 million people, more than half being
  7. of Pocahontas, Chinese descent, people of East China.
  8. The Mayans were the first to occupy the island, followed
  9. by the chinese and the Europeans and the japanese and
  10. then the chinese gained control of Taiwan once again and
  11. by the chinese.
  12. I mean the Corman Tang, Corman tang, otherwise known as
  13. Kmt was led by General Xin kai shek at the
  14. time of its occupying Taiwan.
  15. The Kmt claimed defeat against the Chinese Communist Party and
  16. in 1949 with the Kmt regime to Taipei Taiwan's capital
  17. today. But as soon as the Kmt regime moved to
  18. Taipei, the people of mainland china swore they'd regain control
  19. over all their lands, including Taiwan.
  20. This is where the tug of war on who's controlling
  21. who began between the people's republic of china and came
  22. to you the defeat of the Kmt against the Chinese
  23. Communist Party displeased the United States because the U.
  24. S. Didn't want china to become a Communist nation because
  25. tension between the CCP and the Kmt were arising.
  26. The U.
  27. S. Got involved in hopes to suppress the CCPS power.
  28. So the US made certain commitments to Taiwan In 1954,
  29. the us vowed to protect Taiwan from mainland attacks.
  30. They also poured money into the land about $2 billion.
  31. This was to go towards infrastructure debts and more.
  32. The US also supplied military weapons to Taiwan and allowed
  33. Taiwan unrestricted access to US markets skipping ahead just a
  34. bit. The US more recently sold 100 and 50 F
  35. 16 fighter jets to Taiwan and granted the President of
  36. the time a visa to come to the U.
  37. S. For an invite only event.
  38. Further investments have been negotiated recently.
  39. While trump was president as well, the interactions between Taiwan
  40. and the U.
  41. S. Were very disappointing for china as throughout Taiwan's relationship
  42. with the US Taiwan's came t was trying to make
  43. peace with the People's Republic of china.
  44. Taiwan lost their seat in the U.N in 1971, which
  45. caused them to lose other significant ties that supported their
  46. sustainability. These brakes were influenced by china, the nation that
  47. replaced Taiwan.
  48. The US also experienced a moment in which they no
  49. longer recognize Taiwan because of renewed ties with china who
  50. had promised no communism.
  51. Taiwan was offered a proposal from the People's Republic of
  52. China. Remember trying to vow to eventually regain power of
  53. Taiwan, That is still the goal.
  54. At this point, the document offered Taiwan several personalized allowances
  55. in exchange for Taiwan's resistance towards the People's Republic.
  56. Taiwan's came to eventually agreed to comply with what China
  57. was proposing in the 1992 Consensus there will now be
  58. a one china to government formula implemented making china or
  59. the People's Republic of china, the entity that represents both
  60. land. This please china.
  61. Very much yeah.
  62. As time passed, Taiwan's political demographic begin to shift.
  63. Once again In September of 1995, Taiwan applied for re
  64. entry into the U.N.
  65. although they got denied.
  66. This was the start to their reanimated fight for independence.
  67. A new political party also began to show face and
  68. gain support.
  69. This group is called the Democratic Progressive Party and they
  70. want to Taiwan to be an independent state.
  71. Violent threats began to frequent once the DPP gained significant
  72. recognition. If we were to briefly scan a part of
  73. a demographic that measures the population of Taiwanese people who
  74. actually work on the mainland, it would be around five
  75. and it continues to decrease.
  76. Older generations are retiring and moving back to Taiwan and
  77. newer generations want to work on homeland.
  78. It's Taiwan has its own economy and political culture, but
  79. the 1992 consent isn't agreed upon by mainland china and
  80. Kmt is what binds Taiwan to the people's republic of
  81. china and denies Taiwan of its independence.
  82. Regardless of, Taiwan has one of the lowest unemployment rates
  83. in the world and is a significant figure in the
  84. manufacturing industry.
  85. They also have their own legal system and proved to
  86. be self sufficient traders.
  87. The president of Taiwan, President Sanguine is a part of
  88. the Democratic Progressive Party and continues to advocate for Taiwan's
  89. independence. Regardless of the bind Taiwan's previous rulers place them
  90. in. The newer generation of Taiwan are proving to be
  91. a critical foundation to making great and impact change that
  92. is needed.
  93. That concludes our investigation of the Kmt S.
  94. Part in Taiwan struggle for independence and political recognition today.
  95. Thank you.
