This is Stupid, yes, but but it would (very roughly) be like if in 1066 the Normans had lost -- and then they kept claiming "Britain is ours!" Years later. Uhhh... No. Britain would be the Anglo-Saxon's. No question.
Call me out if my logic is off -- but this seems more reasonable at a glance.

The ROC aka Taiwan does officially claim the rest of China as an integral part of its territory, and the CCP would get pissed and probably start a war if it didn't. This shit is complicated. When it comes to the issue of Taiwan, the de facto and de jure positions are often completely contradictory.
- pjc50 6y agoThis claim was made for seven centuries. Claims can be surprisingly durable.
- pjc50 6y agoHilariously, the Normans that conquered Britain lost the fight for their home lands in Normandy, and England retained claims over parts of France for centuries. I think it lasted until the Treaty of Utrecht? Edit: no, it lasted until the Revolution, seven centuries after 1066. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_claims_to_the_French_throne https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_claims_to_the_French...
