In any case, despite that, why should America allow someone to go into a trial without proper proceedings taking place?
If a white person, or just any American for that matter, went to court in China, he is guilty because he is white. They don't need evidence. Being white, or American is evidence enough that you did something wrong.
On the other hand, when assurances are made for fair and unbaised proceedings, which China has none other than some arbitrary I-think-you-are-guilty system, I think America has and will allow people to stand trial where-ever they may be. That is how that US soldier ended up in a Japanese courtroom.
Japan is a defeated and occupied country and the US troops are occupation troops there.
America does not "occupy" Japan. We have troops there, just like we have troops in Italy or Korea, or elsewhere. You make it sound as though the US military controls the Japanese government. The Japanese people are in charge of Japan. If you don't think so, why are they voting, or having elections?
The KMT's failure in defending China's national dignity was one of the reasons why it lost power.
One of the most foolish things is that you and many other Chinese think that the CCP "brought" dignity with them. Truth is the world hates China and has hated them because of Mao and the CCP. America refused all recognition of Mao and the CCP for 30 years, and you think that means respect and dignity? Go ahead and name some countries that respect China.
I don't think any Chinese citizen, civilian or soldier, who committed crime in the US could escape the trial by a US court.
I don't claim to be an expert in this area at all.
From the perspective of law both Chinese and US courts have the jurisdiction to try a Chinese citizen who committs crime in the US or a US citizen who committs crime in China.
The KMT regime sold China to the US in order to buy the US support in the civil war against the CCP.
Well the CCP "sold" China to America to get diplomatic recognition, be allowed into NATO, and to get western help with the economy, so that the CCP would not be driven from power by angry mobs of people who were sick of communism.
I am curious. Exactly what kind of "independence" do you as a Chinese want? "Independence" means China rules all of Asia and calls all the shots, and if you don't like that "shot" then you are an enemy of "China". Feudal thinking at best.
And while the world is growing closer, China is still isolationist in its ideologies and mindset. In a modern world, "China" cannot exist by itself as those other old empires did in the past. The problem with all that propoganda hype is that if those goals are achieved, then China will be cut off from the world as it always has been.
sorry, I forgot to edit that part out.
I am not an international lawyer. But if China had any real law, this might make some difference.
