China would say yes, and in such a case you should not ever be in a state that has and/or requires good diplomatic relationship with, or economic support from, China.

Law is, after all, what gets executed, and debating whether it's right or wrong is a luxury you don't have when it's executed on you.

China actually hasn't overstated its jurisdiction anywhere near as egregiously as the US has.

China absolutely extends its jurisdiction to anywhere it thinks it can get away with it.

There's a difference between doing it 'legally' and illegally though...

I'm sure it's just because they aren't in a powerful enough position to, not that they have qualms about it.

Heard of Causeway Bay Books? One of the men was a Swedish citizen and was taken from his home in Thailand.

Where they do have power, they wield it. See: international relations regarding Taiwan.

They don't see their relations with Taiwan as international.

Read it as "See: international relations [with the rest of the world] regarding [the subject of] Taiwan"
