I wonder if this because they don’t want anyone discuss sovereignty when they might be planning their own invasion of Taiwan.

- mcswell 5y agoI've read that the Ukrainian war is a problem for China for exactly the opposite reason: the invasion of a sovereign country by another is somehow like outside countries (the US, Japan) supporting Taiwan, which China claims is a part of their country rather than an independent country. I'm not sure I really buy into that argument, though; your suggested viewpoint seems at least as valid.

I doubt that, because we're talking about the Chinese internet. I'm sure the PRC government has been very careful to make sure that all voices there consistently deny Taiwan's sovereignty. IIRC, "little pinks" on it will go into outraged attack mode if anyone says anything (even outside of China) that even subtly implies otherwise. My guess is this is a reflection of an official position against the Western led international order.
