Then proceeds to ignore 200 years where it was formally a part of qing dynasty because it didn't fit the narrative that taiwan is no more chinese than singapore.
- rualca 6y ago> Then proceeds to ignore 200 years So what? Are all mediterranean nations supposed to be a part of Syria just because the territory was under control of the Moors for over four centuries? Moreover that line of reasoning cuts both ways, which would imply that the PRC should just grant Taiwan it's right to rule mainland China.
- hungryhobo 6y agoSo the argument that Taiwan is like Singapore is false, the ties are deeper than that. Moreover the conflict between Taiwan and China is a civil war that never ended, if the roc is able to recapture the mainland then I'm all in favour of its right to rule, if course the reverse is also true
