If Taiwan is not a part of “China”, is Taiwan a part of Japan?
Taiwan is currently still considered a part of China. Taiwan was colonized by Japan in the past, but as of now is not part of Japan. What happens in the future is of course unknown.
After WWII, Taiwan was never incorporated (or “re-incorporated") into China's national territory.
Hence, your statement that Taiwan is part of China is legally incorrect.
No, your argument is wrong. General Order no. 1 put the ROC military forces in Taiwan based on a military occupation. Final arrangements for territorial disposition were to be made in a post-war treaty. Japan would also renounce her sovereignty in the post-war treaty.
However, in the San Francisco Peace Treaty (SFPT) of April 28, 1952, Japan renounced her sovereignty without specifying a “receiving country. “
With no treaty authorizing the transfer of Taiwan's territorial sovereignty to the ROC, it is clear that legally speaking Taiwan does not belong to China.
No, your argument is wrong. China was a victorious nation and could have taken back the lost territory by order, just as Ukraine took back the eastern part of Ukraine.
If only because of the word 'abandonment' by Japan, the status of Taipei becomes directly undetermined for Taiwan. Japan also gave up the Korean Peninsula, Hong Kong, the Thousand Islands, the Spratly Islands, Antarctica and the Southern Kuril Islands. There was also the unspecified treaty of the Russian-Japanese War, but at the time it was under Soviet control, the Lushun-Dalian Kantou Lend-Lease in Northeast China. Also at the end of WWII Japan declared direct occupation of French Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, which was not even mentioned in the treaty. So are these still Japan's? Or whose?
Both the Republic of China and Korea were divided by civil war and did not participate in the 1951 San Francisco Peace Treaty Conference. How can the Korean War be fought if this is the case? How can the Korean War be fought if Japan is still willing to claim Takeshima (Dokdo)? I dare not say that North and South Korea are "undecided" or Japanese colonies!
France surrendered in WWII, and after WWII, it could go back to Indochina and rebuild its colonial empire. Did Japan sign the treaty? The Republic of China was the victorious nation in World War II and it was only natural that it should get back the territory it had lost. Japan, a criminal, had no right to say to whom to give the spoils of war after being arrested and declared defeated.
