Force One / Arnaud van der Veere · 28 мая 2026 г. · 6 мин
Does Taiwan need independence or liberation? We have to go back to 1895. Japan attacked and took over Taiwan. But did Japan really attack Taiwan, or was it called in for assistance? As in every story, there is more than one side. But Japan did not behave as an occupational force. They invited many Taiwanese to join their society and offered them numerous opportunities. Japan introduced an orderly structure and built schools and trade centers. Up till today, the Taiwanese have a strong tendency to look more at Japan for goods and behavior than to mainland China.
