Xia Dynasty: No Taiwan
Shang Dynasty: No Taiwan
Zhou Dynasty: No Taiwan
Qin Dynasty: No Taiwan
Han Dynasty: No Taiwan
Three Kingdoms: No Taiwan
Jin Dynasty: No Taiwan
Sui Dynasty:No Taiwan
Tang Dynasty: No Taiwan
Song Dynasty: No Taiwan
Yuan Dynasty: No Taiwan
Ming Dynasty: No Taiwan
Qing Dynasty: Annexed Taiwan (Formosa) in 1683; lost to Japan in 1895.
Republic of China: Received Taiwan back from Japan in 1945; administration split from Mainland China (PRC) in 1949.
PRC: No.
In sum, Taiwan was under Chinese rule for a grand total of 212 years under Qing Dynasty and 4 years under ROC, which funny enough, PRC does not recognize as legitimate China.
That’s a total of 216 years.
In a history that runs more than 4,000 years.
By the way, the Qing government, the only regime that actually held Taiwan, isn’t seen in a terribly positive light by the CCP.
So no, Taiwan has NOT “belonged to China since antiquity.”
And if you make the argument that the Han originated in Taiwan, then the Rus originated in Kiev. If anything, that says China belongs to Taiwan and Russia to Ukraine. But that’s not how belonging works.
Imperial Japan is a convenient scapegoat for the CCP to deflect the fact that more Chinese have died under Chinese Communism force than due to foreign forces.
Mao’s Chinese Communist regime is arguably worse than Hitler and Stalin combined.

We remember Pin and Water.
They answered the call to resist tyranny and defend freedom — so to protect a people they never met.
我們悼念 Pin 與 Water。
他們回應了對抗暴政、捍衛自由的召喚,來到烏克蘭保護他們素未謀面的人。
Their sacrifice stands in the same tradition as all who stood against oppression before them.
他們的犧牲,承接了歷史上所有挺身反抗壓迫者的精神。
Their sacrifice reminds us that freedom is not free.
他們的犧牲再次提醒我們——自由從來不是免費的。
Lest we forget.|銘記於心,永誌不忘。

#ukraine #烏克蘭
The Russians started the war, and there is no other way to put it. The whole world is a witness. They came with aggression to destroy us. We stopped them. Europe helped, America helped. Russia failed to occupy Ukraine first and foremost because of the strength of the Ukrainian people – warriors and civilians – and, of course, thanks to our partners.
The United States says that a lot of blood has been shed and it’s enough. And we fully support them. But we must end this war in a way that prevents Russia from coming back a year later with a third invasion. They did not achieve their goal of occupying our country. But I am not sure their objectives have changed. They may simply hold up and we need protection for that.
What will happen tomorrow when our warriors come back home? When they once again become teachers, engineers, people of different professions? They will return, and Russia will continue building up its military strength, preparing for yet another invasion. This is why we want clarity. This is what Ukrainians need.
