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the Allied Powers shall be withdrawn from Japan (including Taiwan, Japan of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
T(Taiwan).
M(Man). God
