1
This island is something that China and the United States have basically agreed to disagree about for decades.
2
Most governments don't recognise Taiwan as a country, but it has its own flag and its own army, and its elected president says it is a country.
3
It has islands two kilometres from China.
4
But China says all of Taiwan is a part of China.
5
It hasn't ruled out taking it by force.
6
And if that happened, Taiwan would look to its strongest partner, the United States.
7
But even though it sells weapons to Taiwan, American policy is to answer questions about whether it would defend the island like this.
8
I never comment on that. I don't comment on any-because I don't want to ever put myself in that position.
9
Taiwan's situation is unique and complicated.
10
And to make any sense of it, we need to start with a crash course in the island's history.
11
There's been many, many phases over 300 years.
12
It was under Dutch rule for a few years in the 17th century.
13
It was then part of what we call the Qing Empire in China.
14
And then it was part of the Japanese Empire from 1895 to 1945.
15
At the end of World War Two, Japan was defeated and Taiwan was handed to Chiang Kai-shek, an American ally and leader of the Chinese nationalists.
16
But they were in the middle of a civil war with the Chinese Communists, led by Mao Zedong. In 1949, the communists won and founded the People's Republic of China on the mainland.
17
The nationalists fled to Taiwan, along with more than a million refugees.
18
But the war never officially ended.
19
What we were left with was effectively two Chinas.
20
Both the governments in Beijing and in Taipei were claiming to be the legitimate representative of China.
21
The split that exists today between Taiwan and China started here.
22
And the United States got involved because of what happened to another of its allies, South Korea.
23
In 1950, North Korea, backed by China and the Soviet Union, invaded the South.
24
As South Korean forces moved up to stem the invasion, the world saw the challenge. Communism was on the march.
25
The US had wanted to keep out of any wars in Asia after fighting there in World War Two.
26
But it decided to send troops to support South Korea.
27
We are united in detesting Communist slavery.
28
We are determined to preserve our freedom no matter what the cost.
29
The United States regarded the spread of communism as a huge threat.
30
And because of that, Taiwan as a non-Communist country became an important ally.
31
Chiang Kai-shek ran Taiwan as a dictatorship which imprisoned and executed its opponents.
32
But because he shared America's anti-communist stance, for 20 years the US and Taiwan remained close.
33
Thousands of American troops were stationed on the island ready to defend it.
34
But then China's relationship with the Soviet Union, America's biggest rival, began to break down.
35
And the US saw an opportunity.
36
Up until now, the US had refused to recognise the legitimacy of the government in Beijing.
37
But the two governments began to be driven by a shared desire to counterbalance the Soviet Union.
38
For President Nixon, a sudden change in schedule.
39
China was no longer an enemy.
40
There can be no stable and enduring peace without the participation of the People's Republic of China and its 750 million people.
41
Very quickly everything changed for Taiwan.
42
And not just because of the US.
43
At the United Nations an historic moment.
44
The United Nations voted to change who represented mainland China.
45
Up until now it had been Taiwan.
46
But they gave the seat to the People's Republic of China.
47
Now we are being deserted. We are being forsaken.
48
Then under new leaders, the US and China got even closer.
49
The US-China relationship normalised in 1979.
50
As a condition of normalisation, the US then dropped its official relations with Taiwan.
51
It was absolutely seen as an abandonment of Taiwan.
52
The US pulled its troops off the island, but said it would keep unofficial relations with Taiwan.
53
Back in the US, some politicians still saw the whole thing as a betrayal of their ally.
54
Congress passed a law which said the government had to sell weapons to Taiwan so it could defend itself.
55
But the US drew a line on going any further.
56
It never stated clearly whether it would definitely come to Taiwan's assistance if it was attacked.
57
It maintained this thing called strategic ambiguity, meaning that it was likely it would, but not completely certain.
58
Since 1979, this American ambiguity hasn't changed.
59
Even when Taiwan itself has.
60
In the 1990s, it became a democracy and stopped claiming to represent the whole of China.
61
But the Chinese position has always been that Taiwan is a part of China.
62
China says it wants peaceful unification with Taiwan, but won't rule out the use of force.
63
It runs frequent military exercises in the seas around the island.
64
US intelligence agencies say they don't think an invasion is imminent, but that China is building up the military capability it could use to seize Taiwan.
65
China has really scaled up its military exercises and threats vis a vis Taiwan.
66
Chinese leaders also see the ability to return Taiwan to China as a test of its ability to break through Western containment.
67
Taiwan sits at the centre of what's known as the First Island Chain.
68
It links together US military bases in Japan and South Korea, and bases it has access to in the Philippines.
69
Since 2024, the US and its allies have increased navy patrols here in the Taiwan Strait.
70
A fifth of the world's sea trade goes through here.
71
The tiny chip which powers the device you're using to watch this video was probably shipped from Taiwan through the strait.
72
Taiwan is one of Asia's top economies.
73
Most of the world's most advanced microchips are made by one Taiwanese company, TSMC.
74
It's so important that it's seen by many as a deterrent against a Chinese invasion.
75
Taiwan has this silicon shield because if you attack Taiwan, you attack this company and everyone kind of relies on this company now.
76
The US is trying to reduce this reliance by helping TSMC set up this factory to make the same chips but in Arizona.
77
China is also investing in manufacturing, but the vast majority of chips are still made in Taiwan.
78
If that island were blockaded, that capacity were destroyed, it would be an economic apocalypse.
79
That scenario is played out in a Taiwanese TV drama about a fictional Chinese invasion.
80
It was partially funded by Taiwan's government, which in the real world has expanded defence drills to prepare civilians for possible attacks.
81
But polls show that most people in Taiwan don't think China will invade any time soon.
82
Most identify as Taiwanese, not Chinese.
83
And many in Taiwan think that keeping things how they are is the best way to avoid war.
84
The majority support the status quo, which is not to have unification, but not to have independence either. To live in this ambiguous area, but at least relatively secure and stable.
85
But maintaining the status quo between Taiwan, China and the US is a delicate balance.
86
Over the decades the three parties have been able to preserve peace and stability because of a willingness really to maintain ambiguities around Taiwan's status.
87
But this question has become increasingly a point of contention between the US and China as competition heats up between the two powers.

왜 이 비디오로 말하기 연습을 해야 할까요?
타이완과 중국, 미국 간의 복잡한 관계는 영어 회화 연습에 흥미로운 맥락을 제공합니다. 이 비디오를 통해 영어 쉐도잉을 하면서 실질적인 외교 문제와 역사를 배울 수 있습니다. 타이완의 상황은 국제 정치의 미세한 지각 변동을 반영하고 있어, 이런 내용을 간접적으로라도 이야기할 수 있는 능력을 기르는 데 큰 도움이 됩니다. 이를 통해 영어 회화 연습을 할 때 스피킹의 깊이를 더할 수 있습니다.
문맥 속의 문법 및 표현
- It hasn’t ruled out taking it by force. - 여기서 'hasn’t ruled out'는 '배제하지 않다'라는 의미로, 가능성을 전하는 중요한 표현입니다. 이는 영어를 구사할 때 장래의 불확실성을 이야기할 때 유용합니다.
- Both governments in Beijing and in Taipei were claiming to be the legitimate representative of China. - 이 문장은 'claiming to be'와 같은 표현을 사용해 주장이나 사실의 진위를 나타내는 좋은 예시입니다. 주장을 할 때 활용할 수 있습니다.
- We are united in detesting Communist slavery. - 'united in' 구조는 공동의 목표나 의견을 나타낼 때 유용합니다. 감정이나 의견을 표현할 때 자주 사용됩니다.
일반적인 발음 함정
이 비디오에서 주의해야 할 단어들과 발음이 있습니다. 특히 ‘Taiwan’과 ‘Beijing’은 원어민이 아닌 경우 자주 발음이 틀리기 쉬운 단어입니다. ‘Taiwan’은 /taɪˈwɑːn/으로 발음하고, ‘Beijing’은 /beɪˈdʒɪŋ/으로 발음합니다. 이러한 단어들을 연습하면서 유튜브 영어 공부를 통해 shadow speech 기술을 심화할 수 있습니다.
또한, 'legitimate' 앞의 자음 조합은 발음에 있어서 어려운 부분이 될 수 있습니다. 이러한 발음 연습은 영어 쉐도잉에 매우 중요합니다. 원어민들이 어떤 식으로 발음하는지를 흉내 내면서 나만의 발음을 확립하는 것이 필요한 과정입니다.
쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법
쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
