It doesn't. The vast majority of countries recognize the PRC having sovereignty over Taiwan, as does the UN. There is no right to separatism or anything like that. Rather the PRC has the right to enforce their sovereignty. The US btw has no right to send to troops into China, that's an act of war.
Is the General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party the same person as the President of Taiwan, then?
If you are talking about the President of Taiwan, are you comparing a role that's existed since 1 January 1912 (25 October 1945 in its current form) to one that existed 18 February 1861 – 5 May 1865 and had exactly one officeholder?
They are. And they're comparing glorious revolutionary China to the dastardly imperialist pig dogs in the US.
Tankies are a confused bunch.
There is no morality to statehood - just cost-benefit analysis
So you're not a fan of national self determination then?
The right to self-determination does not mean a right to an independent state or any right to secede.
Also I'm not a fan of creating a new national identity just so the US can claim part of China for its puppet regime. That's using nationalism for a colonial divide-and-conquer strategy, that's pretty much the opposite of liberation and self-determination.
Stalin, Marxism and the National Question
You have no clue about Chinese history do you.
