Re: Guanghua Dormitory case, (alternate spelling: Guang hua Dormitory, alternate nomenclature: Guanghua Liao) also called as the Koka Dormitory case or the Kokario
After WWII , the Rep. of China (former government of China) purchased the five-story Guanghua Liao dormitory in Kyoto with money that belonged to the Chinese people. The Kuomintang régime in Taiwan had the building registered in Kyoto as China’s State property in the name of "Republic of China" (ROC) in 1961. Then in 1967, the local Taiwanese authorities (under the nomenclature of the so-called Rep. of China) filed a lawsuit in a Kyoto Court claiming ownership to the Guanghua Liao building, even though the building had since come under People’s Republic of China (PRC) control, used as a dormitory for students from China studying in Japan.
In 1972 Japan recognized the PRC as the sole legitimate government of China.
What are the findings in this case regarding the international legal status of Taiwan and/or the ROC?
This case is very important. Hopefully, in dealing with this case, the judges will be able to offer some analysis of the true legal status of (1) Taiwan and (2) the Republic of China.
My associates have set up a webpage and will post all relevant details there. Please see — http://www.taiwankey.net/dc/guanghua.htm
