Isn't Canada also land that was forcibly colonized, by the French and British?
That is whataboutism
His point is that there is basically no country on the planet that does not have some history of conquest attached to it.
Railing against it just because it's recent is just kind of arguing to a particular status quo. What makes the Chinese takeover of Taiwan any more or less legitimate than the PRC takeover of the mainland?
Okay, I give approval for YC China to be in China.
It's not, because you mention directly that YC China should move to Vancouver, and the commenter said that the same issue you have with Taiwan happened in Canada.

The United States was land that was forcibly colonized by the British, French, Spanish, and Dutch. The original inhabitants are Native American people [1].

I think a better move would be to move YC China to Vancouver, given the high density of rich Chinese expats in Vancouver, and its status of being in a liberal, western democracy. [2]
