          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.
