Beijing envoy warns special committee on decolonisation of ‘serious implications’ for international order of hegemonism and power politics.

Worth noting that the Chinese ambassador also called it the Malvinas throughout, not the Falklands.

    "imperialist outpost"

    Literally just people living there, who are entitled to the same international legal considerations.

      And a military base! (Which is kinda necessary seeing as Argentina invaded in the past and those people would like to continue just living there)

      There people living in Taiwan. Should we protect and cherish their right to riddle their island with US bases if they want to?

        I do kind of think Taiwan is basically a settled issue. There was a war 70 years ago and it resulted in this split. Yes the people there would be better off if the PRC had control of the island but no one would be better off if they started fighting back up again. It isn't a pressing issue though

        China has a legal and moral claim on Taiwan but making an issue of it would just be bad for everyone involved

        I would support an indigenous lead independent Taiwan if that was what the indigenous people of Taiwan wanted. I'm not interested in what the Han majority of the country wants though.

        Though its important to remind that there's a difference here in that China at least has a claim to the island in this case, Argentina has none to the Falklands.
