In summary, for native Taiwanese persons to be bona fide ROC citizens, two conditions would need to be met. First, the SFPT would have to award sovereignty of Taiwan to the ROC. Second, there would have to be a law passed regarding these mass-naturalization procedures, after the peace treaty came into effect on April 28, 1952. As clarified above, neither of these two conditions has been met.
With no clear legal basis to include "Formosa and the Pescadores" (aka Taiwan) in its definition of "national territory," and no international treaty references which can be found, it is extremely questionable to say that the ROC Ministry of Foreign Affairs is the "competent authority" to issue passports to Taiwanese persons.
Unfortunately, the US State Dept. has been deliberately hiding the true facts of Taiwan's international legal status from the American public and members of Congress for over 55 years.
It is time to set the record straight. The Taiwanese people are entitled to their rightful place under the US Constitution. As a first step, the State Dept. should de-list ROC passports as valid travel documents for entrance into any of the fifty states or US insular areas.
