　　大家好，我是 TheRock。


　　在許多朋友的協助之下，臺澎主權說明影片的中英旁白稿已順利定稿。

　　影片的拍攝工作正如火如荼進行中，敬請期待。



     　                [旁　白　稿　完　整　內　容]


        影片名稱：臺灣　－　臺灣人的臺灣

                　Taiwan - The Land of the People of Taiwan


　　您聽過臺灣嗎？您知道臺灣嗎？臺灣可不是泰國喔，兩者是不同的。

    Have you heard of Taiwan? Do you know about Taiwan?
    Hey, don't confuse Taiwan with Thailand, they are totally different.

　　臺灣是一個位在太平洋西側、中華人民共和國東南方、日本與菲律賓中間的一個
大島嶼，左邊有被稱為澎湖群島的離島。

　　Taiwan, also know as Formosa, is a big island located in the western
Pacific Ocean, off the southeastern tip of the People's Republic of China
 (PRC) and between Japan and the Philippines. To its west coast is a group
of islets, called the Penghu Islands (or in some older texts, the Pescadores).

　　臺灣的土地不過三萬多平方公里，由於地質年齡較為年輕，臺灣除了蔚藍的海洋
外，還擁有許多壯美的山陵。事實上，東亞第一高峰的「玉山」正座落在臺灣。

    With an area of roughly 30,000 square kilometers, Taiwan is quite young
in geological terms, and thus owns spectacular mountains in addition to
shimmering blue waters. In fact, the highest mountain in East Asia, Yushan
("Jade Mountain"), sits right on Taiwan.



    Besides fascinating natural landscapes, the 23 million residents of
Taiwan are renowned for their friendliness and hospitality. In the eyes
of many tourists, in addition to the sky-high Taipei 101 building and
sightseeing spots, the people of Taiwan form the most unforgettable part
of their visits.



    Certainly, Taiwan is not big in the world as far as area or population
is concerned. However, apart from being one of the world's top 20 economies,
Taiwan also produces a large number of high-tech products for the world.
Frankly speaking, a world without Taiwan would be one in chaos.


　　但像這樣一個不論是自然、人文或經濟發展都令人印象深刻的地方，卻無法在國
際舞台上擁有應有的地位。

    However, even though Taiwan is home to such an impressive natural
environment, friendly society, and economical development, it still does
not have a position it deserves on the international stage.




    You may have heard of statements like "Taiwan is an inseparable part of
China" or "Taiwan is an independent sovereign state and it's name is the
Republic of China (ROC)". These two statements have been made by the two
governments of China, i.e. the PRC government and the ROC government,
respectively.



    In other words, to both of these governments, Taiwan is seen as a part of
China's territory. The only difference is whether this "China" is the Chinese
communist government led by Xi Jinping, or the KMT government headed by Ma
Ying-jeou.


　　其實，不論是中華民國共和國政府還是中華民國政府，都企圖利用臺灣這個詞在
文義上的模糊性來欺騙世人。

　　In reality, both the PRC government and the ROC government are
attempting to fool the world by taking advantage of the ambiguity of the
term "Taiwan."


　　當中華人民共和國政府及中華民國政府使用「臺灣」這個詞時，是泛指臺灣島、
澎湖群島、金門及馬祖等四個部份。

    When the PRC government and the ROC government use the term "Taiwan,"
it refers to four parts: Taiwan proper, Penghu, Kinmen, and Mazu.




    Amongst these four parts, Kinmen and Mazu are actually part of China,
because the sovereignty over these two regions has never been transferred to
another country. However, regarding Taiwan and Penghu, from the perspective
of international law, neither the ROC nor the PRC can legally claim
sovereignty over them.



    Therefore, the statements made by both the ROC and the PRC are lies.
Furthermore, if we choose to believe and accept these lies, Taiwan and Penghu
will definitely be unified by China—and the People's Republic of China at
that.


　　臺澎被中華人民共和國併吞，不但是全體臺澎人民的不幸，更是全世界的不幸。

    Should Taiwan and Penghu be annexed by the PRC, it will be tragic not
only for all the people of Taiwan and Penghu, but also for the entire world.


　　為什麼說在國際法上，不論是中華民國還是中華人民共和國都沒有臺澎的合法主
權呢？要回答這個問題，我們就必須要回顧一下歷史了。

    Why did we say that from the perspective of international law, neither
the ROC nor the PRC has legal sovereignty over Taiwan and Penghu? To answer
this question, we have to look back at history.




    In 1895, Japan defeated the Qing Dynasty of China. The losing Qing
Dynasty signed the Treaty of Shimonoseki with Japan and officially ceded its
sovereignty over Formosa (i.e. Taiwan) and Penghu to Japan. Since the Treaty
of Shimonoseki was a valid, legal international treaty, the sovereignty over
Taiwan and Penghu was legally transferred to Japan.

　　而到了西元１９４５年，引發二次世界大戰的日本被同盟國打敗。戰勝國之一的
中華民國依據同盟國西太平洋戰區代表國「美國」所發布的「一般命令第一號」
 (General Order No.1) 到臺灣與澎湖接受日軍投降，並代管臺灣與澎湖。

    In 1945, Japan—one of the instigators of WWII—was defeated by the
Allies. The Republic of China, one of the victorious Allied Powers, accepted
the surrender of the Japanese forces in Taiwan and Penghu and governed the
two regions, based on General Order No.1 issued by the United States, the
representative of the Allied powers for the West Pacific area.


transferred through a legal international treaty. Because of this, Taiwan
and Penghu were in fact still territories of Japan, and their residents
were still Japanese nationals.


然後將這些非法取得的財物運送到中國境內協助中國國民黨打國共內戰。

    However, in breach of international law, the government of the Republic
of China, which governed Taiwan and Penghu at that time, granted ROC
nationality to the residents of Taiwan and Penghu who still had Japan
nationality, deceiving them into accepting double nationality by making them
wrongly believe that the ROC had obtained legal sovereignty over Taiwan and
Penghu. The ROC government then confiscated materials and industrial
equipment in Taiwan and Penghu, and shipped these illegally acquired
properties to China to help fight the Chinese communist party in the Chinese
Civil War.



    In 1947, the residents of Taiwan and the Penghu, under intesifying
resentment and disillusionment of the governing ROC's numerous atrocities,
rose up against the government. What was orignally a minor dispute between an
official and a citizen quickly escalated into the "228 masacare," during
which more than 20,000 Taiwanese residents were killed or executed by the ROC.



    It is worth mentioning that at that time, the residents of Taiwan and
Penghu were still Japanese nationals. Therefore, the ROC government, under
its mandate of governing Taiwan and Penghu, committed an act tantamount to
slaughering prisoners of war, a serious violation of the laws of war. Sadly,
since the world became engulfed in the post-WWII battle between capitalism
and communism, the residents of Taiwan and Penghu saw no justice for their
suffering. Even to this day, legal recourse of the ROC's liabilities of
killing captives has yet to be pursued. The memorial hall honoring the
principal culprit, Chiang Kai-shek, has even become a famous tourist
attraction, and the numerous roads named after him around Taiwan (invariably
named "Chungcheng Road" or "Jieshou Road") serve to drive this
heart-wrenching irony even deeper.


　　但臺澎的苦難並未就此結束。

    Alas, the suffering of Taiwan and Penghu didn't end just yet.



    In 1949, the unpopular ROC was overthrown by the Chinese Communist Party,
and its capital, Nanking, was taken by the communists. The People's Republic
of China was also established in Beijing that same year. The Nationalist
government and 2 million refugees fled from the Chinese mainland to Taiwan
and Penghu, which by international law were still Japanese territories then.
Ever since, the only territories under the ROC's legal administration have
been Kinmen and Mazu. This stands true even today.



    In a bid to keep itself from being anihilated, the terrified ROC
government imposed martial law on Taiwan and Penghu—which were still
Japanese territories—and framed and killed anyone who dared to doubt the
legitimacy of the ROC. The lie that "the ROC is the country of the people of
Taiwan and Penghu" was driven into the minds of the residents of Taiwan and
Penghu, under the horrifying consequence of death to the few who dared to
tell the truth. Thus did the erroneous national identity of the people of
Taiwan and Penghu begin to take shape.




    In 1951, the ROC—an anti-communist regime—seemed inevitably doomed, and
its role on the international stage would sooner or later be replaced by the
Peoples' Republic of China. To prevent Taiwan and Penghu from falling into
the hands of communism, in the San Francisco Peace Treaty (SFPT), which
officially ended hostilities between Japan and the Allies (except China),
Japan simply renounced all of its rights, titles and claims to Taiwan and
Penghu; however, in the treaty Japan did not designate to whom their
sovereignty should be transferred.



    Taiwan and Penghu, up to now territories of Japan, became "sovereignty
undetermined" territories when the SFPT came into effect. According to
Paragraph 2, Article 1 of the Charter of the United Nations, the people of
Taiwan and Penghu now had the right to decide the sovereignty of these
territories.




    In the Treaty of Taipei (or the Sino-Japanese Peace Treaty), signed by
the ROC government and Japan on the day the SFPT came into force, and which
later came into effect after an exchange of notes, Japan's renouncement of
its rights, titles and claims to Taiwan and Penghu was again expressly
recognized and stated.




    Despite the ROC government's repeated claims that the sovereignty of
Taiwan and Penghu was transferred to the ROC in the Treaty of Taipei, Japan
did not have the grounds to do so, as Japan had already given up its rights
to Taiwan and Penghu before the Treaty of Taipei entered into effect. That is
to say, although Japan (under pressure from the US) did sign the Treaty of
Taipei with the ROC as the representative of China, thus ending the war
between China and Japan, the ROC did not legally acquire the sovereignty of
Taiwan and Penghu.



    Furthermore, Article 4 of the Treaty of Taipei stipulates that "all
treaties, conventions and agreements concluded before December 9, 1941,
between China and Japan have become null and void as a consequence of the end
of the war"; it would therefore seem that the Treaty of Shimonoseki should
have become null and void as well. However, since the Treaty of Taipei
clearly recognized that Japan did not transfer the sovereignty of Taiwan and
Penghu to any country in the SFPT, the sovereignty of Taiwan and Penghu then
became an "exception" to the said provision. Accordingly, even if the Treaty
of Shimonoseki was nullified, the legal status of the sovereignty of Taiwan
and Penghu remained undetermined.



    When Japan established diplomatic relations with the PRC, recognizing the
PRC as the only legitimate government of China, and abrogating the Treaty of
Taipei, the Japanese government reaffirmed that it had renounced its rights,
titles and claims to Taiwan and Penghu. This meant that Japan understood that
the PRC laid claim to Taiwan and Penghu, but did not have the capacity to
recognize this claim as legitimate.



    Therefore, the sovereignty of Taiwan and Penghu remains "undetermined" up
to this day. The ROC still governs Taiwan and Penghu in its capacity as a
post-war mandated administration.  And the people of Taiwan and Penghu still
have the right to decide the future of the sovereignty of Taiwan and Penghu,
by exercising their right to self-determination in accordance with Paragraph
2, Article 1 of the Charter of the United Nations.





    Regarding the right to self-determination, you may already know about the
official stance of the ROC government:, "The people of Taiwan have held
multiple democratic elections to choose the leaders of the ROC, therefore the
people of Taiwan have, through the process of self-determination, opted for
the ROC as their country."


　　這其實是謊言。

    This is a lie.




    This is because before the people of Taiwan and Penghu gained the right
to directly vote for the President of the ROC in 1996, the ROC government had
already pursued a 51-year agenda of brainwashing and patriotic education,
which was further enhanced by suppressing revelations and dissent. Because of
this, the people of Taiwan and Penghu voted for the President under the false
assumption that the ROC was their country. If we believe that the choices
made by the people of Taiwan and Penghu under such circumstances were in
accordance with their right to self-determination, this is tantamount to
acknowledging that one should bear responsibility for his or her decisions
even when unwillingly deceived.


　　這顯然是不合乎正義的，不是嗎？

    This is obviously unjust, isn't it?


　　此外，在行使住民自決權時，行使權力的人必須很清楚自己是在決定主權歸屬，
而且選項的內容必須是不同的主權歸屬對象，例如在兩個不同的國家中做選擇。

    Moreover, when the people of a territory exercise their right to
self-determination, they must clearly understand that they are deciding
their sovereignty, and their options must be between at least two separate
yet equally legitimate international actors, such as two different countries.



    However, when the people of Taiwan and Penghu participated in the
elections of the ROC, they did not regard this as a decision of sovereignty;
rather, they were merely choosing their representatives. In other words,
when the people of Taiwan and Penghu went to the ballot box, they were not
consciously deciding their sovereignty; they were only deciding whom they
wanted to handle their daily affairs.

　　既然臺灣人民參與的各項選舉本身的名義不是「決定主權歸屬的住民自決」，所
提供的選項也與「主權歸屬」無關，自然不能產生住民自決的效力。

    Since none of the elections in which the people of Taiwan and Penghu
participated were delineated as exercising the right to self-determination in
choosing their sovereignty, and the options on the ballots had nothing to do
with sovereignty, this does not constitute self-determination in any way.



    Therefore, although the ROC frequently says that the people of Taiwan and
Penghu have exercised their right to self-determination by voting in
elections, and therefore have chosen the ROC as their country, this is
nothing more than a sham. If we accept this fallacy, then we literally accept
that if we choose someone as our housekeeper a few times, the housekeeper
will eventually become owner of our house.

　　這顯然是很荒謬無稽的，不是嗎？

    This is patently ridiculous, isn't it?

　　
    所以，看到這裡，相信您已經了解到：

    So, we believe we have now established that:


　　一、臺澎的主權仍舊處於尚未決定的狀態，既不屬於中華人民共和國，也不屬於
　　　　中華民國。

    1. The sovereignty of Taiwan and Penghu is still undetermined, belonging
neither to the PRC nor the ROC.


　　二、目前管理臺澎的中華民國，只是依據戰後同盟國核發的命令代管臺澎。

    2. The ROC government currently administrating Taiwan and Penghu is
simply doing so in accordance with a post-war order issued by the Allies.


　　三、由於臺澎原主權國日本放棄對臺澎的一切權利，所以臺澎居民有權依據聯合
　　　　國憲章的規定行使住民自決權來決定臺澎的主權歸屬。

    3. Japan previously had sovereignty over Taiwan and Penghu; yet because
Japan has renounced its rights, titles and claims to Taiwan and Penghu, the
residents of Taiwan and Penghu have the right to decide their sovereignty by
exercising their right to self-determination in accordance with the Charter
of the United Nations.



    4. The people of Taiwan and Penghu elected Presidents of the ROC simply
to choose who represents Taiwan and Penghu. They were not exercising their
right to self-determination of sovereignty, and the ROC government has never
legally acquired sovereignty of Taiwan and Penghu as a result.


　　那麼，身為臺澎居民的我們為什麼要告訴您這些呢？

    So, why are we, as residents of Taiwan and Penghu, telling you all this?

　　那是因為這個世界的和平未來已經陷入危急存亡之秋。

    This is because world peace is now under threat.



    The PRC has been sparing no effort in making the global community
recognize Taiwan and Penghu as its legal territory, i.e. a part of China.
As for the ROC government, after it stopped claiming to be "the legitimate
government of China," it, along with the PRC, has been reinforcing the
"One China" trap (under the pretext of "One China, different interpretations")  in the hope of
making it impossible for the land and people of Taiwan and Penghu to break
free from a predestined unification with China.




　　您或許覺得，臺澎和中國統一沒甚麼大不了的。但姑且不論臺澎對世界經濟的影
響力，臺澎在亞太地區所具有的戰略價值是不容忽視的。

    You may think that if Taiwan and Penghu unify with China, it would not be
that big a deal. However, if we put aside for the moment the bearing that
Taiwan and Penghu have on the global economy, their strategic significance in
the Asian-Pacific region cannot be overlooked.

　　不論從土地、人口或是經濟規模，臺澎對中國來說都毫不足道，但為什麼中華人
民共和國非要取得臺澎不可？就是因為臺澎的戰略地位不可取代。

    In terms of area, population, or economy, Taiwan and Penghu are
insignificant to China. Why, then, has the PRC has been trying so hard to get
Taiwan and Penghu? The irreplaceable strategic position of Taiwan and Penghu
says it all.



　　臺澎一旦落入中華人民共和國手中，就會成為它在太平洋上一艘不沉的航空母艦。
未來任何經過東亞的飛機、船艦，不論是要去日本、南韓、菲律賓、印尼、澳洲、越
南、泰國、馬來西亞、新加坡還是印度，全都在這艘航空母艦的掌控之下。

    If Taiwan and Penghu fall into the hands of the PRC, they will form an
unsinkable aircraft carrier on the Pacific Ocean. Any planes and ships
passing by East Asia, no matter what their destination is, be it Japan,
South Korea, Indonesia, Australia, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore,
or India, will all fall under the control of this aircraft carrier.


　　而更重要的是，臺灣東臨太平洋，有了臺灣在手，中華人民共和國想把軍事武力
投入太平洋將易如反掌。

    More importantly, the immense Pacific Ocean is to the east of Taiwan.
With such a strategic base in hand, it couldn't be any easier for the PRC to
stretch its military clout into the Pacific Ocean.


　　資本主義與共產主義的戰爭或許已經結束，但一個有敵意，且對周邊國家不友善
的強權已在亞洲興起。

    The battle between capitalism and communism may be over, but a hostile
great power that is antagonistic to its neighbors has arisen in Asia.



    If Taiwan and Penghu are taken by this great power, it will without a
doubt become even more arrogant and unstoppable, and turn into a formidable
threat to surrounding countries and world peace. On the contrary, if its
ambition to annex Taiwan and Penghu can be stopped, Taiwan and Penghu will
definitely help fence off this raging tiger of a country to maintain world
peace.



　　基於對臺澎國際法地位的認知，以及對亞洲與世界和平的期盼，身為了解真相的
臺澎人民，我們對世界各國提出下列五項呼籲，

    Based on our understanding of the legal status of Taiwan and Penghu, and
our earnest desire for peace in Asia and the world, as residents of Taiwan
and Penghu who know the truth, we hereby make the following five requests to
the world:


　　一、公開譴責中華民國政府未能履行其代管軍政府之任務，
　　　　未能協助臺澎人民完成真正的住民自決程序。

    1. Openly condemn the ROC government for its failure to fulfill its duty
as a government mandated under international law, in that it has never
assisted the people of Taiwan and Penghu in the process of self-determination.

　　二、在聯合國做成決議，終止中華民國政府對臺澎的戰後代管關係。

    2. Pass a resolution in the UN to terminate the ROC government's post-war
administration of Taiwan and Penghu.


　　三、由聯合國派駐維和人員至臺灣。協助臺澎人民完成住民自決建立新國家。

    3. Send UN peacekeeping forces to Taiwan and Penghu to help the people
build a new country by exercising their right to self-determination.

　　四、使聯合國接納臺澎建立的新國家加入聯合國、

    4. Request that the UN admit Taiwan and Penghu, newly sovereign, as a
member.



    5. As the PRC claims sovereignty over Taiwan and Penghu, it must be

considered an interested party in respect to any issues regarding the
sovereignty of Taiwan and Penghu. Therefore, the PRC must abstain from using
its veto powers in accordance with the principles of recusal.




    We hope all countries that care about human rights, justice, and world
peace can help the people of Taiwan and Penghu to truly exercise their right
to self-determination, and establish a legal, sovereign state that is able to
participate in every international organization as an official member.



　　世界能否和平，端看世界能否控制住中國。

    Whether world peace can be maintained depends on whether China can be
contained.


　　世界能否控制住中國，端看臺澎能否擺脫中國。

    Whether China can be contained depends on whether Taiwan and Penghu can
break free of China.


    臺澎能否擺脫中國，端看臺澎能否真正依住民自決建國。

    Whether Taiwan and Penghu can break free of China depends on whether
their residents can establish a sovereign country based on the principles of
self-determination.



　　請為了您國家的美好未來與世界的和平，助我們一臂之力。
　　
    Please help us in maintaining both world peace and bright prospects for
your own country..
