1. Taiwan is a sovereign nation with its own coastal waters. Does Singapore not have rights to its coastal waters? Taiwan is about 50 times larger than they are.
2. Weird how nations becoming independent had a history of not being independent beforehand, this is a non-point at best, pro imperialism at worst.
3. I dont care how you feel about countries reasons for having foreign relations with Taiwan separate from China
4. this isnt relevant to Taiwan's sovereignty who gets to have the seat of 'China' at the UN.

I also dont appreciate the notion that the people of Taiwan just have no free will and are all brainwashed. That's a very lazy approach anyone can take against anyone they think has the wrong opinion. You can pull up any material from western sources supporting Taiwan and call it proof of manipulation. And I can point to China posturing its military against Taiwans will outside its waters for daring to have a US official visit them as intimidation to manipulate their opinions. Taiwan has been exposed to both sides, and this is what they want.
