Hong Kong and Taiwan belong to China and there is nothing we can do about it. Whether it’s a good or bad thing is irrelevant.

“Hong Kong and Taiwan belong to China and there is nothing we can do about it.”

You’re an idiot, but worse a liar.

How does Taiwan belong to China?

Of course you won’t answer.

Taiwan is a sovereign nation and has been since the 1950s.

Do what?

Going back to the indigenous, Taiwanese were more genetically related to Polynesians than Chinese. The first to claim the islands were Dutch, who defended their claim from the Spaniards in 1662. The exiled Ming dynasty fled to the island and kicked out the Dutch in 1664, and were replaced in turn by the Qing in 1682, who, after losing the Sino-Japanese war in 1685, ceded the island to Japan, who held it until Japan’s defeat with WW2. After WW2, another group exiled from mainland China, the ROC, held the island until democratic elections 20 years later.

So not a whole lot of ‘belonging to China’ going on there.

Well if you ignore all the agreements they signed pertaining to Hong Kong's status when England relinquished their rental agreement. Taiwan on the other hand declared independence and was recognized the world over until Nixon then Carter. Having said that, the truth about ownership of lands is they belong to the ones that can defend the boarders, as long as they can maintain them and that long only. That is the truth about nations through out history.

Another way to lose a country is to replace the population with another demographic like they have been doing here for 50 years or so.
