China and the World: U-TUBE: No one will break the Chinese blockade of Taiwan: Kishore Mabumani: COMMENTS 4: 30-05-2026: ******

China's motivation for reunification with Taiwan is historical, it's not about "coveting chips" which didn't exist back then. Ever since 1949, when KMT retreated to Taiwan after being defeated by Mao's troops in the Chinese Civil War, every mainland Chinese president expressed its ambition to take back Taiwain. It couldln't do it because it was to weak and too poor. It couldn't oppose US force who supported Taiwan as part of its effort to eliminate communism. Now, with China strong enough to do it, the US became nervous. It's trying to contain its rise in every way it can, openly and covertly. It is increasing its military support to Taiwan, it ramped up its "China threat propaganda" and stir up trouble in the whole region, trying to destabilize it. This way, it can justify the military build up and alliance to uncircle China. Another motive for the US : Taiwan became a powerhouse for advanced chip manufacturing and it is the US itself that covets Taiwan's chip, not China. The US accusation is merely a projection of its own interests! Here is how the two factions splitted into RPC and ROC : - End of major fighting on the mainland: 1949. - By the spring of 1949, communist forces had conquered most of mainland China. Official establishment of the People's Republic of China (PRC): October 1, 1949. - KMT withdrawal to Taiwan: In late 1949, with Chiang Kai-shek and the KMT govt transferring their administration, armed forces, and approximately 1.5 to 2 million supporters to the island before the end of the year. They continued to claim that their govt was still the legitimate govt of all China. So they kept using the existing state name, “Republic of China,” rather than renaming after the island's name (Taiwan). In fact, the state called the Republic of China was established on the Chinese mainland in 1912, after the fall of the Qing dynasty. The KMT later became the ruling party of that republic, they kept that name in Taiwan. Its founder, Sun Yat-Sen is revered in both side of the strait. He is buried at the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum in Nanjing. Moreover, China's obssession for unity goes beyound the unresolved civil war, it is deeply rooted in its culture for millenia. In tradition Chinese political thought, legitimacy was linked to the idea that there should be one rightful ruler of "All Under Heaven" (the concept of tianxia). The ruler's authority was justified by the Mandate of Heaven, which held that Heaven granted the right to govern a unified realm. A dynasty that lost control, became corrupt, suffered disasters, or faced successful rebellion was often viewed as having lost that mandate. Periods of division, such as the Three Kingdoms period, the Northern and Southern Dynasties, or the era following the fall of the Han dynasty collapse, were seen as temporary interruptions in an ideal of political unity. Successive dynasties often justified themselves by claiming they had reunified China and restored legitimate rule.
