| Aug 24, 2022 at 21:49 | comment | added | Italian Philosophers 4 Monica | One more thing: if 73 years of de facto independence, i.e. a nation existing since 1949, doesn't sound like much to some, consider that the borders of many states in Asia and Africa came into formal existence upon decolonization in the late 40s and up. i.e. exactly the same age: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_national_independence_days You can sort by year of event, 1949 is not an outlier. Or also en.wikipedia.org/wiki/… | |

| Aug 22, 2022 at 15:38 | comment | added | No One | @ItalianPhilosophers4Monica I think the link posted by Readin almost answered my question... Do you know any treaties/agreements for this that are relevant to the self-determination of Taiwan? | |

| Aug 22, 2022 at 0:51 | comment | added | r13 | @Readin Taiwan has not ever claimed independence, even at the time it was in the UN security council representing China. But Taiwan can claim independence at any time without the need to go to the international court, if Taiwan can defend itself. | |
| Aug 21, 2022 at 20:20 | comment | added | Italian Philosophers 4 Monica | i.e. what's special about Taiwan that they would not be expected to have that right, after 73 years of self-government? If the country wanting to force reunification was Belgium, not China, would anyone give a crap about Belgium's wishes in the matter, legally speaking? | |
| Aug 21, 2022 at 20:11 | comment | added | Italian Philosophers 4 Monica | I am puzzled by the phrasing of the question. Do you expect international law, rather than particular treaties/agreements, to refer specifically to Taiwan, by name? If not what doesn't international law regarding the self-determination of people cover with regards to Taiwanese people's aspirations, besides the inconvenient fact that China has a UN veto vote? | |
| Aug 21, 2022 at 19:56 | comment | added | Readin | Does anyone know how the tags are ordered? On my screen the order is international-relations, china, international-law, taiwan, which seems odd given that the question is specifically about international law and Taiwan. I would think those tags would go first. | |
| Aug 21, 2022 at 19:52 | comment | added | Readin | @alamar How is that relevant to the question? | |
| Aug 21, 2022 at 19:51 | comment | added | Readin | @r13 The problem with your answer is not only that it appears in the comments, but that Taiwan is at this point so far excluded from international courts that it's not clear how Taiwan would raise such a dispute, nor does it seem likely that Taiwan would expect fair consideration of its case. | |
| Aug 21, 2022 at 19:41 | comment | added | Readin | I don't have time to really look into it, but someone with time might start with law.cornell.edu/wex/self_determination_%28international_law%29 | |
| Aug 21, 2022 at 18:48 | comment | added | r13 | No. Because there is no dispute raised by the governments on either side of the Taiwan Strait. China has always claimed its sovereignty over Taiwan, and Taiwan does not deny that there is only one China, but with two ruling structures separated by political believes and practices. | |
| Aug 21, 2022 at 18:32 | comment | added | Rick Smith | @Fizz - Quotation marks may be used "to signify words used as words. For example: “inhale” means to take a breath. The quotation marks show that you’re talking about the word itself, not the action of inhaling. However, you’ll often hear that it’s better to italicize words used as words rather than put them in quotation marks—different style guides might prescribe different rules." In this case, the quotation marks set off words as a sentence (not a quote) and the question is about the sentence. See my prior comment, as well. | |

| Aug 21, 2022 at 17:56 | comment | added | got trolled too much this week | A google search only returns this page on that (quoted) phrase. Are you claiming it appeared somewhere (in some other language)? | |
