    I believe in the right of self-determination for all peoples. The populace of Taiwan need to consent to being governed by the PRC, and currently support for one China in Taiwan is very low, based on what I’ve read. That might change in the future.

    There should be no outside interference or anyone trying to pull the strings, and the issue should be solved peacefully.

      How convenient to fall back on arguments about self-determination only after the island spent decades under a repressive military dictatorship, and then decades under a US controlled “liberal democracy” with US controlled media and an education system that brainwashed and indoctrinated entire generations of people to see themselves as different from the mainland. Why was the issue never put to a referendum? Why are sympathies with the mainland still harshly repressed and any talk of reunification suppressed?

      The state that currently rules Taiwan engaged in white terror and killed dissidents. The population of Taiwan obviously did not consent to that, but you accept their rule just fine. So, you are inconsistent.

      Furthermore, that state is a collaborator for the most evil polity in the world - NATO. That means that the considerations of their population’s wants are secondary to stopping the horrors that NATO has been inflicting upon the world.
