    I define rightfully as internationally recognized sovereign territory, further backed up by the agreements the aggressor made in the past.

      So the second option it is.

      When is USA planning to send military aid to China to help it reclaim Taiwan that is rightfully theirs?

        When the Taiwanese people democratically declare they want to become part of China. I don’t see the US sending military aid to China as long as their claims to the South China Sea don’t respect international maritime law. I’d also imagine respecting intellectual property rights is a concern, in addition to China’s genocidal actions towards the Uyghurs.

          Wait what? So if people of a region that is internationally recognized as part of another country declare that they want to be part of another country, you are okay with that?
          Then how is Donbass and Crimea doing the same is not okay?
          Why is it “rightfully theirs” in case of Ukraine, but not “rightfully theirs” in case of China? What the fuck?

            The Donbass and Crimea are currently occupied by Russia, there’s never been any Ukrainian held election allowing for the secession of this territory. These regions are not self governing entities that can make this determination. With all due respect, you seem a bit dull, so I’ll just leave it at that.

              so, there’s been Chinese election allowing for the secession of this territory?

              the hypocrisy is mind-blowing :)
