You grossly misunderstand the structure of the government of the United States. The employees of the Executive Branch of our government during any particular administration say many, many things about many, many topics.

None of those things that they say have any force of law.

The law of the United States is comprised of: The Constitution of the United States, as amended;
the statutes of the United States, as passed by Congress and either approved by the President or passed over his veto;
the opinions of the United States Supreme Court.

Some would add the opinions of the Courts of Appeals, but those opinions have force of law only within the Appellate District and there is no Court of Appeals for Taiwan so there are no Court of Appeals decisions affecting any matter on that island.

It is very difficult to have a meaningful discussion with you because your stated basis for your opinion shifts from one post to the next. One day it is the Order no. One, the next day it is the Treaty of Peace with Japan which you erroneously call the SFPT, now it is the statements of the Executive Branch of the United States Government.

Please pick one and stick with it.

Although it makes no difference.

Your interpretation of the the Order no. One is wrong.
Your interpretation of the Treaty of Peace with Japan which you erroneously call the SFPT is wrong.
Your assertions of a basis in the Constitution are wrong.
Your suggestion that the comments of John Foster Dulles or some other employee of the U.S. Government has force of law is very sadly misinformed and wrong.

Your suggestion above that this is a political question is particularly problematic for you as the Supreme Court and its subordinate courts avoid political questions like UN officials avoid Taipei!

There is no language in any document that indicates that Taiwan ever has been under the jurisdiction of the United States. The only special right accorded to the "principal occupying power" was a special voting privilege in the ratification process for the Treaty for Peace with Japan which you erroneously call the SFPT.

We have a saying in the American version of English, "you are barking up the wrong tree". You, sir, are barking in the wrong forest!
