Time to put an end to fallacy of `one China'

World history has a Republic of China (ROC) and a People's Republic of China (PRC) but no "one China."

The emergence of the "one China" concept has been a self-deceiving fabrication from the beginning. It is a play with words and a case of international fraud.

From the provisional constitution passed when the ROC was established in 1912 to the current ROC Constitution, there has been no mention of "one China," only the ROC. Before the PRC was founded in 1949, no one had ever said that the "one China is the Republic of China," just as no one has ever said that the "one America is the United States of America" or the "one UK is the United Kingdom."

Only after the Chinese Communist Party defeated the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) and announced the abolition of the ROC Constitution and the replacement of the ROC with the PRC did the concept of "one China" emerge.
