甲午战争割台与日本殖民统治遗毒

Japan's Occupation of Taiwan as a Result of the First Sino-Japanese War and the Negative Impacts of Its Colonial Rule

发生在1894年的甲午战争不仅影响了东亚历史的发展走向,同样改变着台湾的历史命运。《马关条约》的签订令清政府彻底丧失对台行使主权,致使日本在台湾开启了长达半个世纪的殖民统治。日本殖民统治给台湾人民带来的危害是显而易见的,其影响也并未随着殖民统治的结束而烟消云散。其中,台独思想与日本右翼势力的结合不仅危及台海局势,而且会在东亚地区造成新的战争隐患。

The First Sino-Japanese War in 1894 not only influenced the course of history in East Asia, but also changed the destiny of Taiwan. After the signing of the Treaty ofShimonoseki, Qing government completely lost its sov- ereignty over Taiwan, resulting in Japan＇ s colonial rule over Taiwan for half a century. The harm Japan＇ s colonial rule brought to the people of Taiwan is obvious, and its negative impacts are not dispersed after the end of Japan＇ s colonial rule. Among the negative impacts, Taiwan Independent Movement and its amalgamation with Japanese right-wing forces will endanger the peace of the Taiwan Strait and generate a new war risk in Ease Asia.
