      Taiwan doesn’t want to be Chinese, so it isn’t. Crimea wants to be Russian, so it shouldn’t be?

      I get the sense that the only thing people like you want is to separate countries on some vague idea of ethnic lines and Balkanize countries because racism has been such a big part of your identity.

        Just to be clear, Taiwan IS NOT ethnically distinct from mainland China while Ukraine IS ethnically distinct from Russia.
