I love how westerners consider political capture of a rogue province of Taiwan by US cool and normal. Just imagine how much foaming at the mouth there would be if Russia started backing a separatist government in Texas. I mean libs are still losing their shit over the made up Russiagate conspiracy, so I guess we don't have to imagine.
Taiwan isn't exactly a rogue province. It's the holdover of the prior government of China that lost the revolutionary war and retreated there.
It doesn't entirely invalidate the point, but it has to be said that the situation is markedly different from the one with Texas.
It's more like if Texas overthrew the US government in a violent rebellion and the UK worked to support the holdover of the old US government that retreated to Puerto Rico.
Nothing that happened since has invalidated truly the right of Taiwan to remain a sovereign state. It's in no sense a rogue province.
Taiwan is literally a rogue province, and it's recognized as being part of China by the UN and vast majority of countries around the globe. Taiwan has never been a sovereign state and it never will be one. You don't have to take my word for it though, here's what US state department has to say on the subject:
"Taiwan never has been a sovereign state"
I guess the Republic of China never existed?
