Taiwan - Women

Taiwan is an island nation in East Asia that is diplomatically recognized by only a few countries due to the One China Policy. Its territory consists of the main island of Taiwan (99%) and other smaller islands. This technologically advanced industrial nation, which produces well over half of all semiconductor components manufactured worldwide, has a population of approximately 23.5 million.

The Republic of China was proclaimed in Nanking on January 1, 1912, following the Xinhai Revolution on the Chinese mainland. The island of Taiwan, under Chinese rule from 1683 to 1895 and from 1895 to 1945 under the rule of the Japanese Empire, only returned to the Republic of China at the end of World War II. In 1949 – following the defeat in the civil war against the Communist Party and the founding of the People's Republic of China on the mainland – the government, elites, and armed forces of the Republic of China withdrew to the island of Taiwan. There, the Kuomintang, led by Chiang Kai-shek, established a one-party rule that lasted for several decades, maintaining a state of emergency. The second half of the 20th century was characterized by high economic growth; towards the end of the 1980s, the Kuomintang initiated a gradual democratization process. In several scales of democracy measurement, the Republic of China (Taiwan) is today, alongside Japan and South Korea, one of the most democratic states in Asia, comparable to Germany and Switzerland.

Even after the proclamation of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the government of the Republic of China initially represented the Chinese state at the United Nations and was a permanent member of the UN Security Council. As a result of the People's Republic's one-China policy, however, more and more states severed diplomatic relations with the Republic of China, which was forced to cede its UN membership to the People's Republic in 1971 with UN Resolution 2758. In 1979, the United States finally severed diplomatic relations after establishing official relations with the People's Republic (Taiwan Relations Act). Today, only a minority of the international community maintains formal diplomatic relations with the government in Taipei. The status of the Republic of China under international law is disputed and is the subject of the Taiwan conflict.

LEARN TO LOVE EACH OTHER
V1
I may come off as a Liberal
But that would be all wrong
And I sure as hell ain’t no Conservative
As the day is long
Oh, and if you ask me, neither one of ‘em deserves my vote
‘Cuz the donkey’s and elephants, they’re sinkin’ the same boat

[Chorus]
We gotta learn
Learn to love each other again
Yeah, we gotta learn
Learn to love each other again
Sisters and brothers, wives and husbands
Family and friends
We gotta learn
Learn to love each other again, yeah-ee-yeah, yeah-ee-yeah

V2
Have I told you lately
Told you lately, my friend
How much you mean to me
Until the bitter-end
Oh, and if you ask me this divide and conquer coup has gotta go
If we follow the Golden Rule we might live to see tomorrow

[Chorus]
We gotta learn
Learn to love each other again
Yeah, we gotta learn
Learn to love each other again
Sisters and Brothers, wives and husbands
Family and friends
We gotta learn, we gotta learn, we gotta learn to love each other again

Yeah-ee-yeah, Yeah-ee-yeah, Yeah-ee-yeah, yeah-yeah
Yeah-ee-yeah, Yeah-ee-yeah, Yeah-ee-yeah, yeah-yeah

[Chorus]
We gotta learn
Learn to love each other again
We gotta learn
Learn to love each other again
Sisters and Brothers, wives and husbands
Family and friends
We gotta learn
Learn to love each other again

V1/Repeats
I may come off as a Liberal

As the day is long
Oh, and if you ask me, neither one of ‘em deserves my vote
‘Cuz the donkey’s and elephants are sinkin’ the same boat

[Tag]
We gotta learn
We gotta learn to love each other again
