    Stupid gotchas have their place in undermining imperialistic narratives about how Taiwan “rightfully” belongs to the PRC.

    No territory rightfully belongs to anyone but it’s inhabitants.

      What do you think the situation would be if the US Civil War ended in a stalemate? Either side drove the other to Long Island. (If they were both adamant on taking over the other and neither side signed a peace treaty.) That’s what this is, it’s a civil war that never ended. I’m going to leave the rest of that one alone, but you should explore your line of thinking on it.
