Why would China invade itself?
Xi: "If you invade Texas I'll bomb the shit out of DC"
Trump: ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฑ
Average sinophobe: completely uneducated about even the basic facts of China
The original china is clearly not on taiwan wtf. Look up the "Great Wall of China" in an atlas.
The ROCs(Far right nationalists) initial rise is inseparable from the PRC (Communists) as they were working together to Reunify all of China at the beginning.
After the breaking of this alliance by the ROC, purging the PRC to establish their far right nationalist base, they only lasted about 20 years, before the PRC regained far more support, resorting to the ROC ultimately retreating to the island of Tawain while the PRC continued focus on the original goal of uniting the mainland, which it achieved, and has thus ruled far more of China longer than the ROC ruled the sections they held.
By no stretch of the imagination can you claim that the ROC has rightful claim over the whole of China.
It has more of a claim to Mainland China then Mainland China has a claim to Taiwan
How so? At best it would have equal claim
No it doesn't. Taiwan is part of China, the PRC rules China.
If Trump and most Republicans lost the next elections, and this led to a violent split between Democrats and Republicans rather than Trump and the Republicans ceding power, with the Democrats ultimately pushing back the Trumpist insurrection until they fled to Long Island, where they slaughtered most people living there then claimed to rule the entire US from the island.
Trumps Republicans would not still have claim to the entire US just because he ruled for 8 years (and Republicans far longer), and wouldn't rightfully have claim to Long Island itself. It would be an occupation of American land by a far right nationalist faction, nothing more.
You only disagree with regards to Taiwan because the west sides with the nationalist occupation in an effort to oppose the communist ruling party of China.
