@davidsheep88,
Treaties are made to be respected and can be renegotiated, but as long as they exist, they must be respected.
One cannot reproach China not to respect the treaty about Hong-Kong and say that the international treaties about China are scraps of papers.
Hitler said that treaties are scraps of papers.
Now,
Yes treaties say that Taïwan is part of China
Chinese government and Taiwanese government agree about that,
That does not give continental China the right to invade Taïwan and take it by strength !
USA have a treaty with Taïwan and they have a right to act if continental China invades it.
china is a totalitarian state, and Taiwaneses would be much more prone to accept unification if it was a democratic one.
China is a super power with imperialistic aims and worries every other country, even if some prefer to pactise with it.
The war of North-South Korea is growing how do we stop it perhaps uniting the countries ?
