> This is an example of how something is good?
No. But it is evidence that people have different standards for more distant wrongs than more recent ones. Many Argentines think the UK should “give it back” the Falklands, but how many European-descended Argentines think Argentina should be “given back” to its original indigenous inhabitants? What’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
> Taiwan was invaded by the retreating ROC army.
The Qing dynasty ruled Taiwan from 1683 to 1895, and that is when Han Chinese colonisation started. The Europeans came before that - Chinese colonialism pushed out European colonialism, and Chinese colonialism was in turn displaced - for a period - by Japanese colonialism. But there were already very many Han Chinese in Taiwan before the defeat of Japan, or the flight of the KMT from the mainland.
