To the east of the line, territory can be acquired by conquest, and all conquered "chinese" terrtory is returned to #japan
Sure, #china conquered it from natives in the 14th century or whatever, but no American can begrudge them that and still believe in the legitimacy of USA, amirite.
#japan did great work in suppressing native culture and language and transferring their own population in there so to the victor the spoils i guess!
And Okinawa is a great spot for the US navy, so that's nice
To the west of the line, in #taiwan, territory cannot be acquired by #china (14th century) conquest (or communist revolution) but can be acquired by KMT conquest including massacre of tens of thousands of natives. No problemo!
Certainly no need to revert anything to an antebellum status quo like to the east of the line. Time to move forward and just call an election.
If we apply the same rules in eastern #ukraine? The conquest is old news, what matters is democracy for Donbas, right?
