        The actions of people a hundred years ago do not give people of today the authority rule.

          Yeah I’m partly joking. Would be cool if the mainlanders get some sort of freedom

              Well Taiwan’s claim predates that of the current People’s Republic of China.

                It’d also be fine if the mainlanders overthrow their oppressors and claim independence I guess

                  Would be preferable tbh. China could just drop their claims over Taiwan and drop the levels of international tension by a fair bit, but no, they’re imperialists, and want to take everything.
