INB4 Korea accuses Japan of wanting to annex Taiwan as province.
Article is a year old. Why link now?
Who does No.2 work for?
I strongly support Taiwanese independence.
However, I don’t think Japan should send it’s troops to defend Taiwan. That’s just WWIII in the making. Japanese military technology is advanced. Japan should just supply Taiwan’s military with its most advanced arsenal. I support that

Fucking stupid. Outer Mongolia and Tuva used to be part of China. The Soviet Union forced China to recognize Mongolian independence in the 1950s and the Soviet Union annexed Tuva in the 1920s (it’s now part of Russia).
These lands combined are more than 1000% larger than Taiwan. Tuva alone is larger than England
Chinese “reunification” is such a bullshit concept. Taiwan is a sovereign country and should be recognized as such
