When did Taiwan begin to belong to China?
Taiwanese originated from mainland China, and Taiwan's characters originated from Chinese. Taiwan was part of Chinese mainland more than 1000 years ago.
In China's administrative system, Taiwan is the provincial administrative region of People's Republic of China, and the capital of Taipei is located in the southeastern part of the mainland of China, facing the Pacific Ocean in the East, the Taiwan Strait across the West and Fujian Province, and the southern boundary between the bus Strait and Philippines Islands. Taiwan Province is composed of China's largest island, Taiwan Island, surrounding islands and Penghu Islands, with a total area of 36000 square kilometers. The population of Taiwan Province is about 23.6 million.
The Chinese believe that Taiwan is an integral part of China's territory. The main ethnic minorities in Taiwan, Gaoshan Nationality, had settled here before the Han nationality moved in in the 17th century. Since the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, a large number of people from southern Fujian and eastern Guangdong migrated to Taiwan, eventually forming a society dominated by Han nationality.
Penghu belongs to Fujian Road in Southern Song Dynasty;
Yuan Dynasty and Ming Dynasty set up inspection department in Penghu;
It was occupied by Holland and Spain in the late Ming Dynasty;
In 1662, Zheng Chenggong recovered it;
The Qing Dynasty set up Taiwan government in 1684, belonging to Fujian Province, and established Taiwan Province in 1885;
In 1895, the Qing government ceded Japan with the Treaty of Shimonoseki; in 1945, after the victory of the Chinese people's war of resistance against Japan, the Chinese Government recovered Taiwan, and Taiwan and Penghu were under the jurisdiction of China's sovereignty; in 1949, the Chinese Kuomintang authorities in the mainland retreated to Taiwan. At that time, 90% of China's gold reserves were carried to Taiwan.
Since the 1960s, Taiwan has carried out the strategy of export-oriented industrialization, and its economic and social development has made rapid progress. It is one of the four small dragons in Asia and one of the developed economies in the 1990s. Taiwan's manufacturing industry and high-tech industry are developed, leading the world in semiconductor, it, communication, electronic precision manufacturing and other fields.
Taiwan culture, with Chinese culture as the main body, is an important part of Chinese culture. The Nandao culture of Gaoshan ethnic group also has an impact. In modern times, it also integrates Japanese and European and American cultures. Taiwan culture presents a pluralistic structure.
Why can't Taiwan leave China?
This has something to do with Chinese history and culture. Everyone in China does not want Taiwan to become independent. Just as the United States finally achieved reconciliation between the north and the South after the civil war, China will eventually be reunified.
