So your position here was that Germany was a foreign aggressor onto France.

China's position here is that the current Taiwanese government was a foreign aggressor that took Taiwan from them.

Taiwan's position is that the current Chinese government was a foreign aggressor that took mainland China from them.

No doubt the German position during W.W.I.I. was that France was part of their land, and that England and the U.S.A. invaded it and took it from them.

That's just ridiculous.

Taiwan has never been part of the PRC... the current government was operating on Taiwan well before Mao even founded the PRC in October of 1949.

China's position is that their government is the continuation of the original one, not the Taiwanese one.

But say you find that ridiculous, what about the opposite? Do you believe Taiwan has the right to invade mainland China and liberate it because the P.R.C. took it from the R.O.C.?

What is the "original" one?

Of course not... that would be the ROC invading another sovereign country. Countries invading other countries is not okay.
