Thirdly, at no time in history has Taiwan been a state in its own right, and since 1945 Taiwan has not been a foreign colony, nor has it been under foreign occupation. The issue of national self-determination, therefore, does not exist.

• 第三，历史上台湾从未曾成为一个国家；一九四五年以后，台湾既不是外国的殖民地，又不处于外国占领之下，不存在行使民族自决权的问题。
