Tbh, I never really got why some leftists get involved this inter-imperialist dispute. As far as I'm concerned, it was just an anti-communist military junta's regime picking a fight with the not-quite-irrelevant-yet Anglos over some century-old colonial claim on some tiny island in order to legitimize itself, and then getting bodied.
As for this in particular, there are plenty of other Limey-occupied colonies for China to choose from in order to make its point (N. Ireland, or in the Caribbean if you don't want to be too spicy).
Its unfortunate that the term colony can be used both to describe people settling an uninhabited place and murdering an indigenous population to take it. Thats true.
Unfortunately for you and your bad argument, they are materially different even if you can use the same words to describe them.

also it's an island consisting of less than 3000 people who overwhelmingly voted to remain a british overseas territory.
lol should every colonial outpost get sovereignty then?
There are no native falkanese. The islands were empty when they were settled.
A colony is a settlement, it doesn't mean they had to murder people to get it.

There's a reason they use the term that way
Return sovereignty to the native falklandese people.
So the sheep and penguins?
No, sheep are settler-colonials that stole the land from penguins.
falklandese nuts?
