I talked about that. This is how China is keeping the messaging consistent. Again, according to most states in the UN, they want a 2 state solution for Palestine. That's why China's pushing an armed resistance solution for the Palestinians.

Also, according to most states in the UN, they agree upon a 1 state solution for China and Taiwan. That's why China's pushing for an armed resistance solution against the Taiwanese occupiers.

It doesn't matter what states say internally or want internally. The whole point is consistency of message from the Chinese. Which is armed resistance is acceptable for occupations. Thus, no "oh what if it turned around on China?" It's consistent messaging, there's no turning around.

NOW what you're arguing is that the people don't feel that way. Which means the west isn't following it's own "rule of law". The problem with your argument is it makes clear that China is the one agreeing and following the UN rulings and the west is bending the "rules of law". This is also why China cares so much about what they're "hearing" as you stated and doesn't really care about what they say internally. Which seems petty to you, but means China is actually obeying rule of law and the west is not.

What are you talking about?
Taiwan is its own country.

Well tell that to your government. They are not saying that. And until most of the UN agrees with that, Taiwan can't be considered a country.

In fact, as a Taiwanese person, I'd prefer it if people like yourself didn't just say platitudes like Taiwan is a country and then do literally nothing in your votes to make that happen. You disappoint me.

De facto it is. But according to the one China policy that the US subscribes to, it's not. It's also not a part of many UN organisations.
