    Which China has never ruled

    True, the CCP claiming The Philippines would be seen as ridiculous by the rest of the world.

    Then again, the CCP has never ruled Taiwan either…

      Were you hoping nobody would notice your bad faith rhetorical trick of trying to equivocate “China” with “the CCP” (by which I assume you meant the CPC)

      Oh yeah that’s like exactly the same situation.

      1. Send US military to “protect” one side in the Chinese civil war and occupy parts of China.
      2. Say you’re in favor of eventual peaceful reunification, but actually prevent it for decades.
      3. Break promise and claim the territory was never really part of China to begin with.
      4. Pretend you’re the victim and China is “expansionist”.
      5. World War 3?
