China existed before the Communist revolution. So please explain to me again why you believe Taiwan belongs to the Chicoms
Zelensky and the Maidan government before him have never held Crimea for even a single minute. They have no legitimate claim to territories they never held, that they could not seize by force despite attempts. They violently overthrew the democratically elected legitimate government in Kiev, that doesn't give them control of the whole region. Just because you shot Jesse James, doesn't make you Jesse James.
Taiwan was never a " Chinese Territory " until late Ming Dynasty when the Manchurian Qing took over. At one time Taiwan belong to the Dutch and the Portuguese I believed as colony.
The Manchurian Qing Dynasty lost to the Japanese and the island was transferred to the Japanese.
The Japanese lost WW2 and it was transferred back to the ROC Government.
Technically speaking Taiwan do not belong to the
Chinese Communist Party. But whether it belongs to
China is another issue which we need to look at the treaties signed after WW2. I would say Taiwan is put in a rather ambiguous situation and it's sovereignty is not solved.
That being said, he who conquers rules and this applies even in our day and age. But the borders and territories are being drawn after after the second WW and most countries try to stick to that.
If the ROC government who was rather "Pro Western democratic style government " won the Civil War. There will be no kerfuffle when it comes to Tibet , Xinjiang and Taiwan.
Simply because a " ROC" Government will be a strong and robust asset for the US Led West as a Bulwark to contain Russia in the East.
