A Letter to All Respected Leaders of
The Countries Around The World
December 8, 2008
Dear Leaders:
May I extend my warmest good wishes to the chiefs of
government and heads of state around the world, and wish all
countries around the world peace and prosperity.
This letter is to make three appeals as follows:
1. An appeal to the President of the United States to perform and
execute the following treaty: the San Francisco Peace Treaty
(hereinafter referred to as the Treaty) signed on September
8, 1951 at a convention held in San Francisco of the United
States during the period of September 4-8, 1951. The Treaty
went into effect on April 28, 1952 and was ratified by 48
states (see the text of the Treaty appended to the book for
more details). Article 6, Paragraph (a) of the Treaty expressly
provides that all occupation forces of the Allied Powers shall
be withdrawn from Japan (including Taiwan, Japan of course)
as soon as possible after the coming into force of the present
Treaty, and in any case not later than 90 days thereafter.
How come have Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek’s Chinese
troops refused to withdraw from Taiwan for 60 years in
violation of the San Francisco Peace Treaty, since the day
‧A-1‧
when Chiang Kai-shek’s Chinese troops accepted Japanese
troops’ surrender and handover of ammunition in Taiwan and
the Pescadores on behalf of the Allied Powers pursuant to the
“Order No. 1” promulgated by the United States on September
2, 1945? Chiang Kai-shek’s Chinese troops’ default on the San
Francisco Peace Treaty is accountable for Taiwan’s abnormal
development, and in consequence Taiwan is the only country
on earth that is an “abnormal country” deficient in nationhood.
That is also the reason why the Taiwanese people were
massacred and looted by Chiang Kai-shek’s Chinese troops in
1947 – the year the Massacre claimed a lot of lives among the
Taiwanese people.
Hence, we appeal to all the signatories to the Treaty, righteous
countries and governments, and their political leaders to
urge the United States government to ask Generalissimo
Chiang Kai-shek’s Chinese troops to withdraw from Taiwan
and the Pescadores immediately lest the Chinese troops will
continue to cause turmoil in Taiwan. More badly, the People’s
Republic of China blatantly tells the fallacious lie that
“Taiwan is an inalienable part of China, and the Taiwanese
people are Chinese immigrants”. The Chinese people tell lies
shamelessly.
A wrong can be righted by the wrongdoer only. On October
16, 1945 the United States navy frigate 226 sent the first
batch of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek’s Chinese troops and
officials to Port Keelung for their first landing in Taiwan. By
the same token, the United States government should send the
residual Chinese troops away from Taiwan, using American
navy frigates.
‧A-2‧
2. Before carrying out the aforesaid operations, the United States
government should allow Taiwan to become an independent
sovereign nation, in the same way as Cuba (both Taiwan and
Cuba were victims of undetermined cessions) was allowed
to be so, pursuant to the Treaty of Paris that was signed on
December 10, 1898 and went into force on April 11, 1899,
as a result of the Spanish-American War which broke out on
April 22, 1898. The Taiwanese people will guarantee that an
independent Taiwan thus created will be a free, democratic
nation.
3. If the United States government is still in doubt about the
appeal, we shall, under the name of the provisional civilian
government of the Democratic Republic of Taiwan, enter
into an amicable treaty with the United States government to
ensure the long-lasting friendship between the two nations.
4. If the United States rejects the appeal again, we shall make
public the evidence of the conspiracy jointly contemplated by
the United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt and China’s
Chiang Kai-shek during the Second World War to divvy up
Taiwan, then a Japanese colony, after the end of the Second
World War.
Evidence, Grounds, and Description
(1) In the past, Taiwan did not publish its own history textbooks
but allowed the Chinese people to lie about the history of
Taiwan. Now, we discover the truth and hereby rebuke
the Chinese people for telling lies. Please peruse my book
‧A-3‧
Taiwanese History. In the book, it is proved that, starting
from the Dutch occupation of Taiwan in 1624, for more
than four centuries the ancestors of the Taiwanese people
have never been Chinese, and Taiwan has never been part of
China.
(2) How come did the United States President Harry S. Truman
allow Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek’s Chinese troops
to accept Japanese troops’ surrender and handover of
ammunition in Taiwan and the Pescadores at the end of
the Second World War? The fact is that, during the Second
World War, or to be specific, on June 24, 1943, China’s
Chiang Kai-shek dispatched his wife Soong Mei-ling to pay
a secret visit to the White House (under the pretext of her
farewell) to persuade the United States President Franklin
D. Roosevelt into agreeing that the United States and China
should divvy up Taiwan at the end of the Second World War,
and Franklin D. Roosevelt agreed. On the following day,
that is, June 25, 1943 dispatched a telegram to Chiang Kaishek
to let him know the good news (evidence: see Chiang’s
Journal on the date of June 25, 1943; and Chin, Hsiaoyi,
Preliminary Compilation of Important Data about the
History of the Republic of China). In other words, the United
States President Franklin D. Roosevelt not only betrayed
Taiwan but also betrayed the American’s military interests to
give way to China. As a result, Taiwan and the Pescadores,
an intermediate integral constituent of the second island arc
(composed of Japan, Okinawa, Taiwan and the Pescadores,
and the Philippines) of the American military defense in the
‧A-4‧
Northern Pacific Ocean, was missing.
(3) Political Leaders around the world should note the following
historical events and evidence.
A. The Atlantic Charter, concluded on August 14, 1941 and
signed and promulgated by the United States President
Franklin D. Roosevelt and the British Prime Minister
Winston Churchill, carries a pledge that, upon termination
of the Second World War, colonies shall get independent
and establish their own governments.
B. The Declaration of the United Nations was signed on
January 1, 1942 by 26 countries, including the Republic
of China, the United States, the Soviet Union, the United
Kingdom, and France, and as one of its objectives, to
ratify the Atlantic Charter retrospectively.
The Atlantic Charter and the Declaration of the United
Nations became Article 76 of the Charter of the United
Nations. Unexpectedly, the United States President
Franklin D. Roosevelt and China colluded on June
24, 1943 to divvy up Taiwan in violation of the spirit
embodied in the Atlantic Charter and the Declaration of
the United Nations. Damn Franklin D. Roosevelt.
C. At Yalta Conference held on February 11, 1945, Roosevelt,
Churchill, and Stalin entered into an agreement which
stipulates: territories separated from an enemy nation shall
be mandated by the United Nations. The agreement was
ratified by the United Nations retrospectively and was
incorporated into Article 77 of the Charter of the United
Nations.
‧A-5‧
D. The former United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt
who betrayed Taiwan (and betrayed his soul, personality
and nation as well) died of a stroke on April 12, 1945 for
the prompt retribution he deserved.
E. In October 1949, the U.S. Department of State released
the White Paper on China to declare that the United States
was to give up Taiwan and allow Taiwan to wax and wane
on its own.
F. On June 27, 1950 the United States President Harry S.
Truman released the declaration of neutralization on
Taiwan.
G. The People’s Republic of China was dissatisfied with the
above-mentioned and therefore put forth a bill known as
“Invasion into Taiwan, China by the United States” and
dispatched a nine-member delegation (including the head
Wu Xiuquan, Consultant Qiao Guanhua, and members
Gao Pusheng, An Dong, Chen Qiao, Pu Shan, Zhou
Xian, Sun Biao, and Wang Naijing) to the United Nations
Security Council where the Chinese delegation presented
the so-called “plenty of exhibits”. Upon deliberation,
the United Nations Security Council formally rejected
on November 30, 1950 the bill whereby the People’s
Republic of China appealed to the United Nations to ask
the American troops to withdraw from Korea and Taiwan
(see an article “A Trip to the United Nations 40 Years
Ago” published by Wu Xiuquan in People’s Daily on
June 28, 1990). This confirms the undetermined status
of Taiwan, proves that Taiwan is not part of China, and
further verifies that Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek’s
‧A-6‧
Chinese troops stationed in Taiwan are cultivated and
controlled by the American troops.
H. The San Francisco Peace Treaty (hereinafter referred to as
the Treaty) entered into by and between the Allied Powers
and Japan on September 8, 1951 at a convention held
in San Francisco of the United States. Although Japan
agreed to cede Taiwan under the Treaty, the Treaty does
not specify which country Japan shall cede Taiwan to.
Hence, the cession is known as undetermined cession in
international law. The situation has a counterpart: Spain
surrendered Cuba and left Cuba’s status undetermined
pursuant to the Treaty of Paris signed in 1899 after
termination of the Spanish-American War. Hence, Taiwan
should gain independence for the reasons stated in the
above paragraphs A, B and C.
I. Before the conclusion of the Sino-Japan Peace Treaty
on September 17, 1951, Karl L. Ranking, the American
ambassador to the Republic of China and Ye Gongchao,
the Foreign Minister of the Republic of China held a
meeting at the Headquarters of the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs in Taipei about the text of the Sino-Japan Peace
Treaty. During the meeting, Karl L. Ranking told Ye
Gongchao: the U.S. Department of State instructs me to
tell you the Republic of China should, when drafting the
Treaty, avoid using any term that might otherwise imply
that Taiwan will become part of China’s territory from
a legal point of view under the Treaty to be concluded;
the point is of vital importance to the United Nations’
interests, and thus it not only applies to any bilateral
‧A-7‧
treaties concluded prior to the day a multilateral treaty
comes into force but also applies to any subsequent
protocols (see Preliminary Compilation of Important
Data about the History of the Republic of China). Hence,
Taiwan’s status is undetermined indeed, and Taiwan is not
part of China at all. In this regard, even an implicit term
is not allowable, not to mention that no blatant fallacious
statement is acceptable.
J. The Sino-Japan Peace Treaty entered into by and between
the Republic of China and Japan on April 28, 1952 and
the San Francisco Peace Treaty has the same contents in
common, and thus Taiwan is entitled to independence
a long time ago. However, owing to the conspiracy
and collusion between the Chinese politicians and the
American politicians to divvy up Taiwan after the Second
World War as described in Paragraph (2), the United
States has ignored the truth and has kept Taiwan’s status
undetermined until now.
K. In June 1970, U.S. Department of State told the Senate
that Taiwan and the Pescadores were not subject to any
international treaties, and the sovereignty over the region
is an undetermined issue, which shall be resolved by an
international solution in the future.
Again, the view was described in the Department of State
Legal Advisor’s memorandum dated July 13, 1971, under
the heading “Taiwan’s Legal Status”. However, so far the
United States government has kept the issue open.
L. Mr. Liao Wenyi, a Taiwanese, often sent messages from
Japan and Hong Kong to petition the United States and
‧A-8‧
the United Nations and declare “the Taiwanese people’s
claims”, only to receive no replies from the recipients.
During the inauguration meeting of the establishment
of the Provisional Parliament of the Republic of Taiwan
held at 36, Taira-machi, Meguro-ku, Tokyo, Japan on
September 1, 1955 (the inauguration meeting held in
Tokyo started at 2pm and was attended by delegates
from 24 counties and cities of Taiwan, the United States,
Hong Kong, Singapore, Jakarta, and delegates from other
branches), Mr. Liao Wenyi announced the Taiwanese
people’s resolve to pursue political independence of
Taiwan. The inauguration meeting was widely covered
by major newspapers in Europe and North America. In
response to the inauguration meeting, the Washington
D.C. warned that: the United States government had
failed to address the political future of the Chiang’s
regime properly with appropriate policy, thereby resulting
in looming crises and unpredictable political future of
Taiwan.
On September 19, 1955, Indian Prime Minister Nehru
said: if the Taiwanese people hope so, the issue over
Taiwan should be resolved according to the principle
of self-determination of people. In November 27, 1955,
the Regulations Concerning the Organization of the
Provisional Government of the Republic of Taiwan was
passed. On December 18, 1955, at the Fourth Round of
the First Meeting of the Provisional Parliament of the
Provisional Government of the Republic of Taiwan held
at the YMCA of Tokyo, Dr. Liao Wenyi was elected the
‧A-9‧
President of the Republic of Taiwan, and Dr. Wu Zhennan
was elected the Vice-President of the Republic of Taiwan.
The above historical events strongly indicate that the
freedom, democracy and justice of the United States are
not attributable to each of the former presidents of the
United States, as some former presidents of the United
States were undemocratic, unjust, and even as autocratic
and greedy as Adolf Hitler. From the Taiwanese people’s
perspective, some former presidents of the United States
had never sought advice from the Taiwanese people as
to what in the world the Taiwanese people want. Nor
had they ever concerned about the Taiwanese people’s
well-being. For instance, for lack of weapons, more than
one hundred thirty thousand Taiwanese people were
slaughtered by the Chinese troops during the 228 Massacre
that broke out in 1947, leaving tens of thousands of dead
bodies of the massacred Taiwanese people in heaps and
at the Port of Keelung and the Port of Kaohisung, but
bringing no concern at all from the United States. It is the
United States that dispatched the brutal Chiang Kai-shek’s
Chinese troops to Taiwan. So many Taiwanese people
were killed, though the brutal Chiang Kai-shek’s Chinese
troops had stayed in Taiwan for a period of time as short
as one year and four months. Was the United States not
held accountable for the massacre of the Taiwanese people
(betrayal of the Taiwanese people and atrocity committed
to the Taiwanese people)?
Event recently several unrighteous, merciless United
States presidents abused their power and evaded being
‧A-10‧
supervised by the Congress in an attempt to betray Taiwan
to China. The presidents who promulgated the three
U.S.-China communiqués had turned a blind eye to the
Constitution of the United States, neglected the Charter of
the United Nations, Article 76(b) and Article 77(b), and
worked in an undemocratic manner (see the book for more
details). Hence, we hereby make a serious protest against
the United States and urge every political leader around
the world to monitor the United States government. The
current issue about Taiwan is: the United States and China
conspire to betray Taiwan, or to be specific, the United
States pretends to be friendly with Taiwan, whereas China
plays the role of a bandit who occupies Taiwan unlawfully,
and thus United States and China together attempt to
divvy up Taiwan and deprive the Taiwanese people of
hard-earned money. The issue has remained unresolved
for more than 60 years. Do you Americans feel shameful
for betraying Taiwan and the Taiwanese people? Are you
Americans eligible to talk about freedom and democracy?
Are you Americans entitled to preaching human rights?
Do the human rights of 23 millions of Taiwanese people
exist?
Well, the latest rally, known as “Protest Against Taiwan’s
Procurement of Weapons from the United States”, was
held by the Chinese people introduced into Taiwan by you,
believe it or not. You can make an enquiry of Mr. Stephen
Young, Director of AIT. Solving the problem without
fighting in a battlefield can allow you to win the Nobel
Peace Prize, right? I would be quite willing to visit the
‧A-11‧
United States to give an explanation or deliver a speech,
provided that the United States government asks me to do
so. However, my language skill is limited to Taiwanese
language and Chinese language. Please write me in
Chinese. Thank you.
I wish political leaders around the world every success
Sincerely yours,
Liao Ching-Hsiu
