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

    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.
