Taiwan is not Ukraine: Stop linking their fates

And rightly given back to the Republic of China in 1945 (hence why the Chinese government retreated there in 1949...)

Those claims related to changing regimes are of course disingenuous and only aimed at creating a false narrative. It is fake history for political purposes.

I’m confused, is it your assertion that the ROC is the legitimate government of China, hence there’s no CCP claim on Taiwan?

I am not asserting anything. I am stating that Taiwan is indeed Chinese territory, historically and today.

Now, there has been (arguably still is) a civil war and the overall territory of China is split with both sides claiming the whole but only one side is strong enough to think they still have a shot a it.

Now, to go back to the article, it serves the US' interests to support one side against the other hence why they do it, in the same way that it serves their interests to 'grab' Ukraine against Russia. It's the same old global Great Game.

Ah ok, I just got confused. Thank you for the clarification.
