Also, if it’s part of China, as you seem to believe it is, why wring hands over it? After all they are “Chinese speaking.” Based on your logic about Ukraine that is enough justification to start a war.

Either Alinsky #13, or you’re such an ignorant oaf that you don’t even know that Taiwan is part of China.

Actually Chinese don’t speak Chinese. They mostly speak Mandarin or Cantonese, except for dozens of other languages spoken by other small groups. Kind of like Mexico when I studied some Nahuatl (Aztec language) spoken by 1/2 million Mexicans, as I learned in my linguistics class. Or like the village of some 500 to 1000 people I rode to six miles on horseback, near Zan Cristobal de las Casas in southern Mexico. When we went to ask the Mayor (alcalde) for permission to walk around his thatched hut village, we discovered he and his two deputies were the only Spanish speakers in the village. That village spoke a Mayan dialect.
