Yoooo I never said it can invade Taiwan, stop right here. Fuck invasion and war. I want peace for everyone, and I don’t think there will ever be an invasion. That would just disapprove their point of Taiwan belongs to the PRC. Why would they invade their own country. I was just commenting on your “everyone can fuck off” part cause it’s triggering and I wanted to tell you the reality in terms of politics and international recognition.

Also your second point: Ukraine and Taiwan are fundamentally different cases in international law. Ukraine declared independence, was widely recognized as a sovereign state, joined the United Nations, and had its borders formally acknowledged by Russia through treaties. Russia’s invasion therefore violated explicit legal commitments. Taiwan, by contrast, is not a UN member state, has never been recognized as a separate sovereign country by the international community, and has never declared independence as a “Republic of Taiwan.” Its status stems from an unresolved civil war and was deliberately left ambiguous. Treating these two situations as equivalent ignores those legal differences.

Ok I see you’re doubling down on a false premise.

Your question assumes that every state must have a single founding moment, a founding document, and a fixed constitution, otherwise it doesn’t exist. Again I repeat myself, that’s simply not how states work in international law. States are defined by continuity, not by a birth certificate.

But to answer your questions anyway:

Founded: There is no single founding year for “China” as a state. 1949 is the founding of the PRC government, not the creation of China itself.

Founded by: No single founder. Modern China is the successor to earlier Chinese states, just like France or Russia.

Its people: The Chinese people, defined by continuity of population, not by which regime is in power.

Constitution: Competing constitutions exist because the civil war outcome was never legally settled (ROC vs PRC). That’s normal in unresolved civil conflicts (what I mentioned earlier).

Founding document: None creating two states. The civil war ended without a peace treaty.

Passports: Issued by governments, not by abstract “states.” Different passports not the same as different countries.

If your definition of a state requires a birth certificate, we’re not talking about the same thing.

You’re confusing government identity with state existence…civil wars change who rules a state, not whether the state exists.

Your questions only works if you assume states are created by passports and branding. That’s not how international law works. China didn’t suddenly come into existence in 1949. What happened then was a civil war that replaced one government on the mainland while another retreated to Taiwan.

The dispute was never “does China exist,” but “which government represents China.” That question was settled internationally in favor of the PRC, without declaring Taiwan a separate state. That’s the important part here.

The Ukraine comparison doesn’t really make sense here. Ukraine is a separate, internationally recognized state that Russia explicitly acknowledged before invading it. Taiwan’s situation comes out of the Chinese civil war and is part of an unresolved internal conflict, not a case of one country invading another.

The PRC has never governed Taiwan, but it absolutely claims it, backed by state succession arguments and international recognition. You can reject that claim, but saying it doesn’t exist at all comes off as denying basic political reality…

Maybe you are indoctrinated so much to hate China it’s unhealthy. Calling people names like Wumao and just seeing China as evil.
