Describe Taiwan’s current situation - competition

One month has slipped by, and Arthur’s nice post is due for my review.

The challenge is to describe the situation of Taiwan using as little words as possible to replace the ones used by the main-stream media since they always describe Taiwan from Beijing’s point of view.

So I came up with one that is from a more Taiwanese point of view:

While the will of the Taiwanese people is overlooked, Taiwan’s status has been entangled with (or complicated by) the problem of who represents China (ROC or PRC) after the conclusion of China’s civil war, and is caused by the deployment of ROC’s KMT troops by Allied Forces after WWII in 1945.

Or the longer version:

While the will of the Taiwanese people is overlooked and the SFPT puts it in limbo, Taiwan’s status has been entangled with (or complicated by) the problem of who represents China (ROC or PRC) after the conclusion of China’s civil war, and is caused by the deployment of ROC’s KMT troops by Allied Forces after WWII in 1945.

The main-stream media always describes Taiwan from China’s viewpoint, that’s why Taiwan is described as something like:

China has claimed self-ruled Taiwan part of its territory, and is prepared for a military confrontation once the island formally declares independence…

without mentioning at all the cause of the Taiwan’s identity crisis…

or as this:

China and Taiwan split amid civil war…

without clarifying that the Chinese civil war was not fought on Taiwan’s soil, and did not mention that the two were not even together to begin with in 1912; when ROC was founded in 1912 Taiwan was Japan’s territory (beginning 1895 given away by the Manchu Dynasty, which the ROC tried to overthrow).

And my previous post commenting on the business without borders was more of a science fiction humor on my part, the world will not become one.
