Do you believe that China should be a country ruled by its current government? Or should the ROC control it? If the ROC shouldn't control it, then why should they control Taiwan? Simply because the invaded it 70 years ago and seized control? If China seizes control back today, will you in 50 years argue that the remaining Taiwanese separatists should just get with the times and accept Chinese control of Taiwan?
- colechristensen 8y agoI believe that China, Taiwan, and everywhere really should be ruled by their respective peoples. At least Taiwan seems to be doing a pretty good job of self-rule and nobody has a legitimate claim over that. Any gripes about 70 years ago should be pretty muted because most of the people involved aren't alive any longer.

How about native Hawaiian's various issues? Should Mark Zuckerberg be free to erect walls of whatever size he wants around his land and to seize the ancestral land of various native hawaiian's through the courts? How do you feel about the sovereign citizen movement? How do you feel about the state of Israel? I think that your position trivializes the complexities of these situations.
