Just discovered that LiuQiu/ Ryukyu was actually rightfully offered to be returned back to China after WW2, but JiangJieShi(CKS) somehow did not directly agree to it although he did want it to happen. And later the US
unilaterally gave it to Japan instead
(the US actually have no rights to do so as they did not consult the allied victor nation in the region on this, specifically the PRC or the ROC, like the previous post-war treaties) in the 70s as their interest already shifted due to the changing global political climate (ROC on the losing side of Civil War and Japan is more than willing to be American puppet instead).
Germany lost massive lands after WW2 as a condition of surrender, as this is a rightful punishment for them for starting the fascist war of terror. But the same did not happen to Japan despite them being even more brutal and cruel than the Germans, which is absolutely disgusting and a huge injustice towards humanity. All because the Japanese managed to play into the puppet role for the Americans.
These were the terms of the post-WW2 treaties, the Cairo and Potsdam declaration, which clearly states "
Japanese sovereignty shall be limited to the islands of Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu, Shikoku, and such minor islands as we determine". This shows that Japan should only retain their 4 main islands and any islands beyond that, including the LiuQiu islands, clearly should NOT be given to Japan in the first place based on basic principles and morals after WW2, especially as a fascist aggressor! What CKS did here (which is the main cause of the loss of LiuQiu more than the later American's shift of interest and illegal unilateral acts) is an absolute shame and a blatant traitorous act towards the Chinese people. And as a Chinese Nationalist, how did he not have the Chinese interest in mind here is completely mind-boggling and irresponsible.
And after all that, Japan still has the sheer cheeks to still boldly invade our DiaoYu Islands which were actually officially returned back to China as a part of Taiwan Province is a further slap to the face.
This is why I feel that the Chinese government is actually still way too soft on this matter, especially with Japanese's later illegal defacto administration of the Islands. But since right now the excuse of China still being "not strong enough" militarily still made sense given American's backing and their power status, I hope that this relatively passive attitude towards the
very basic protection of Chinese national sovereignty (including other areas such as South Tibet) would be completely changed in the future as China grows even stronger and able to defend itself more. These issues should be an active pursuit and course of action! And National sovereignty should be completely non-negotiable.
P.S. I am personally already disagreeing with China giving up rightful Chinese lands to Central Asia and the broke-away Outer-Mongolia for appeasement back in the 50s-90s. Or even recognising the illegal independence of Outer-Mongolia in the first place, which is a blatant Soviet infiltration operation with the evil intention to balkanise China to make it their puppet state! (the Soviets actually even invaded our Tannu Uriankhai just a few years before, all these imperialist powers really have no shame). But as I always said, the wrongs of history shall be righted one day!
