[edit]

I placed the POV tag when creating the article because it is pasted from a US government website. Because this comes from a US govt source it may not be neutral, but I don't have the expertise to judge. (Hopefully others that know more will simply remove the tag if they think the article looks okay.) Mangostar (talk) 05:20, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I edited after previewing the sources that I could preview (google books limits).

  • "However, Chiang did not like the Americans, and was suspicious of their motives." Pg. 412 does not mention his dislike for the Americans, but does mention his suspicions.
  • "Chiang ordered the plotters executed." The plotters, or the CIA did not get directly involved. Those who did carry out the plans were considered "rebels" in the book and thus were the ones executed.
  • "Earlier, he had been involved with the Blue Shirts Society, a fascist inspired paramilitary group in the Kuomintang, which wanted to expel Western and Japanese imperialists, crush the Communists, and eliminate feudalism.[12]" Does not really have anything to do with ROC-US relations. Overall, I feel the history part is too biased Chiang8mm (talk) 15:02, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

rename without discussion

[edit]

This article was renamed without discussion. One problem is that officially the U.S. has no relations with the "Republic of China", it has unofficial relations with "Taiwan". Just one example of this is that the law governing the relations is called the "Taiwan Relations Act", not the "Republic of China Relations Act". Readin (talk) 22:35, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If moving without discussion is offensive to you in this case. I apologise. I didn't think it would be a problem.
The Act is called "Taiwan Relations Act" because the US doesn't recognise the "Republic of China".
The article is about the "Republic of China", not Taiwan. Taiwan, according to the NPOV naming policy, is a geographic location. The US cannot have any interaction with a place, it is having interactions with a state which it does not recognise. That state is "Republic of China".--pyl (talk) 14:02, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

response to Pyl

[edit]

Uh, so what about RoC-US relations prior to 1970? I'm fine with not referring to the Republic on China as Taiwan (even though it's wrong), as long as we don't make everything else confusing. Now it certainly is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.14.89.219 (talk) 00:45, 20 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Does not seem to be quite noteworthy enough. Hcobb (talk) 15:09, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Penultimate Paragraph unclear

[edit]

Maybe someone can clarify what this means: "On 24 August 2010, the United States State Department announced a change to commercial sales of military equipment in place of the previous high provide Foreign Military Sales (unclear) in the hope of avoiding political implications (please specify).

Republic of China–United States relationsTaiwan–United States relations – 1. WP:COMMONNAME: the Main country articles are in Taiwan, United States; Foreign relations of Taiwan, Foreign relations of the United States. 2. WP:OFFICIAL: Currently, the US uses Taiwan Relations Act to govern this relations, and has no relations to the title of ROC. On the other side, the ROC(Taiwan) government also uses the term "Taiwan-U.S. Relations" in the contemporary context, like [1] [2]. 3. The historical part of this article before 1949 (or 1978) should be merged into Sino-American relations. 68.181.2.18 (talk) 01:13, 23 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

RoC - US relations

[edit]

I read above that this was moved to Taiwan-US relations and simply ignores RoC-US relations prior to 1949 (or 1970ish, in which such relations still had official existence). This page is now confusing to me. Where can I find info about RoC-US relations that are not centric to RoC during its relocation to Taiwan (either before or after there were still historical relations that were officially seen as RoC-US?) Is this some attempt to rewrite history? 24.14.89.219 (talk) 00:42, 20 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The opening sentence is a complete mess

[edit]

I wouldn't even know how to edit it because I am not even sure what it is trying to say. It's a massive run-on sentence, but it becomes a grammatical disaster almost immediately. SlackerInc1 (talk) 20:12, 7 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think the opening paragraph (not just the first sentence) needs to be revised substantially. Per MOS:LEADREL and MOS:FIRST it is overly loaded with information not directly related to the subject of Taiwan-US relations and does not appear necessary to include here - the topics it touched on has been elaborated in other articles.

Transcription

[edit]

Since one of the official languages of Taiwan is Taiwanese (Hokkien/Southern Min), shouldn't the transcription for the Taiwan-United States relation be in 闽南语 (southern min) instead of 广东话 (cantonese), or we can retain cantonese and add the southern min transcription 2406:3003:2002:2D79:2C76:BDA2:E642:CD49 (talk) 13:12, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
