Having crushed the opposition in Hong Kong, China is moving against Taiwan. The island's military is in bad shape and it's unclear how the U.S. will respond.
Just to be clear we’re talking about an island province in China that the Kuomintang fled to at the end of the civil war. That’s it. Taiwan is not a true nation, separate from China in the way that Japan is. It’s just the last piece of clay from the civil war.
The relationship at play is between Taiwan and the rest of China, so it’s a little more nuanced than if Taiwan had an independent national history, which it really doesn’t
A nation is a historically constituted, stable community of people, formed on the basis of a common language, territory, economic life, and psychological make-up manifested in a common culture. - Stalin
Because one is communist and the other is a fascist colony that wiped out indigenous population and formed a government in exile that aids imperialist invaders

what's a true nation
I wonder if Lenin wrote anything about the national question

So it's a nation as old as the current incarnation of China?
Why is one real and not the other?
