It’s not a Chinese island. They don’t wanna be ruled like that. It’s their choice, not yours

It’s not a Chinese island? So landback to the indigenous Taiwanese, right?

They’re so ignorant they think you’re talking about Han born there in the last 75 years.

It’s literally an island close off the coast of China, like Galveston, the Florida Keys, or Long Island. It’s literally inhabited by Chinese people. It’s literally been part of Chinese territory for centuries. Just like Hong Kong, if you bring an enemy military into the region from the other side of the world and they enforce a separation of the land from its historical roots, that doesn’t make it legitimate.

Eventually Alaska will need to go back to the people who originally lived there. The European colonies that became new nations do not have legitimate claim to those lands. Just because they killled everyone who disagreed with them and then filled the land with people who agreed with them doesn’t mean the claim is legitimate.

Similarly, just because the KMT killed everyone who disagreed with them and brutally indoctrinated the entire island through the White Terror and just because the imperialist Europeans provided support and military protection while it happened so that the Europeans could still plunder Asia, doesn’t mean that the claim is legitimate.

Reintegration is the only sustainable outcome and China will wait for as long as it takes, knowing that once the US empire declines far enough, Taiwan will have less and less incentive to remain belligerent and will eventually vote for a one country, two systems arrangement.

The PRC and the KMT are not separate countries. You are inventing a new way of thinking that you do not apply literally anywhere else in the world. Cuba was never part of the United States. It’s not republican nor democrat nor confederate. The working families party didn’t exist before it existed, does that mean it can’t win elections now? You are confusing political movements for sovereigns. China is the sovereign. The KMT was the party in charge for a very short period of time and they didn’t operate much on Taiwan island. The PRC demonstrated that it had overwhelming popular support and won the war and it took over control of China, which includes Taiwan. The KMT and the PRC are not separate countries and that you Western beligerrents keep framing it that way is completely disingenuous with no basis in reality, history, law, or precedent.

If they don’t wanna be a part of China they don’t have to be. Nothing you said addresses that point. You can’t just act like history didn’t happen.

The people that live there NOW see no value in being Chinese. That simple, everything else is playing a pointless game.

The dinosaurs inhabited that island longer than humans. The true owner is the lizard people.

People believe what they want. White people in Turtle Island call themselves Americans, and white people in Africa call themselves Afrikaners. But we are objectively still European :)

That’s not how ownership works. God you liberals are so annoying.

That’s literally what you’re doing.

THEY ARE CHINESE. They are literally Chinese. They even claim to be the REAL CHINA. You are ridiculous.

It’s not pointless. The number of people the US, Britain, France, Netherlands, and Spain killed in Asia ever since they figured out how to sail the blue ocean is unfathomable. That genocidal regime hasn’t ended. It continues to occupy large portions of the Asia-Pacific region, it continues to extract billions of wealth from the region every year, it continues to spread militarily in the region to crush any opposition to their genocidal dominance. And part of that regime is the existence of Taiwan as a separatist region, as a military outpost for the West, and as a potential location for undermining Mutually Assured Destruction to give the US license to launch nuclear war without risk of retaliation. It’s not a pointless game. It’s but one of the fronts in the battle to finally end the 600-year genocidal reign of the West.
