      I said it on another comment, but Taiwan’s China and the PRC’s China are different. There was essentially a schism is the ‘40s with each side claiming to be the true government of China.

      “And so does the constitutional document of Taiwan, Republic of China – it ALSO specifies that the two entities are a single, indivisible country”

      So basically China is West Taiwan because the last ELECTED government resides in Taiwan. ;-)

      People pick a side ‘China bad hurt durr’. They don’t care about juridics, or facts. All they can produce are thoughtless knee-jerk reactions. By the way, nowhere in my comment I supported an invasion or China in general. I said Ukraine and Taiwan are legally different situations lol

        I pick the side of the Taiwanese and what they want for themselves. Only the unethical would try to force them into something they don’t want.
