>Why do you think they have a right to sovereignty?
They are sovereign over the island of Taiwan
>They lost a civil war (and wouldn't exist without US intervention)
They lost control of mainland China during the civil war; no peace treaty was signed and they still hold Taiwan
>Taiwan is a Chinese province
You can declare all you want in your constitution but de facto it is not.
If all you claimed was true then there would be no issue, but clearly that's not the case.
- rkk3 5y agoSo if the US Confederacy held onto a small bit of land in the south, with the help of a foreign power like England, you would respect their right of sovereignty? Somehow I doubt it. There are many reasons to maintain a presence in Taiwan or South Korea, like limiting China's sphere of influence in Asia. But that would require acknowledging that they are geo political chess piece's and dropping this veneer of moral superiority.
- auroz 5y agoYou're the one trying to justify the morality of a chinese hostile invasion of Taiwan when the default stance would be a neutral geopolical analysis.
- rkk3 5y agoThat is quite a word salad. No I don't support a war over Taiwan. I am just questioning the cause of Post WW2 American Imperialism & Liberal Hegemony in Asia.
