Russia opposes Taiwan’s independence in any form and considers the island an inseparable part of China, Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in remarks published on Sunday.

In an interview with Russia’s TASS state news agency, Lavrov also urged Japan to “think carefully” about what he described as a course towards militarisation".

    Ahh, a continued case book in propaganda.

    Only refencing a democracy like Taiwan by its autocratic past to minimize China’s current brutal authoritarian goverment, arbitrary and undefined “Taiwan cant be nation because I said so” statements, and continued wild handwaving away all the statments about “forced reuninfication” from PRC party members and endless military drills, war games and international provications when Taiwan arms itself to assure its own autonomy from a brutal aggressor. No shit China doesnt want Taiwan to be able to defend itself and is threatening anyone who assists them. It has made it very clear they intend to attack the nation as soon as international politics allow it.

    Nothing you’ve said changes the fact that Taiwan has been an independent state for 80 years, and a democracy for 30. The fact that other democracies stand by its right to self determination is only a threat to China because it is a totalitarian regime that wants to plunder Taiwans resources for itself.

      I don’t need to defend against two dronies spouting the same bullshit. I have responded to all your points in the comment thread with my original interlocutor. You can read along there since you clearly have no original thoughts of your own to add.
