 Dear all,
 
 According to article 2 of the 1895 Treaty of Shimonoseki, Qing Empire  
 has ceded to Japan in perpetuity and full sovereignty several  
 territories including Taiwan and the Pescadores (Penghu). So Taiwan  
 became part of the Japanese territory.
 
 On 1951/9/8, Japan and 48 other countries signed the San Francisco  
 Peace Treaty.
 According to its article 2(b), Japan has renounced all right, title  
 and claim to Taiwan and the Pescadores. Note that China is a non-party  
 to the treaty. So, according to article 25, China was not given any  
 right, title or claim to Taiwan and the Pescadores!
 
 Hence Taiwan cannot be a province of China.
 
 
 Best regards,
 
 Ching-Lueh Chang
