A better point would be that the current CCP regime in Beijing has no legitimate claim to be any kind of government with any legal claim over any territory whatsoever.

An unelected government is not a government, it's just a group of thugs who happen to have control over a capital city.

If China has any sort of legitimate government at all it's the one in Taiwan which was at least elected by somebody. But really, mainland China has no government, and the CCP should not be talked to or negotiated with as if they are a government.

There was a revolution in China. Many millions of Chinese people fought in it. It's not as if the Communist Party came to power by some accidental oversight.

Whether or not you like the government of the PRC, it is the government of China.

Your knowledge of history is so little that for you Washington is the guy who prints green notes.

Jokes aside if the legitimate government are only the elected one lets wipe 2/3 of the world's government lol.

Taiwan is a dispute territory because the kuomintang after they lost the civil war in China they moved to Taiwan and claimed the territory. Taiwan was not even a democracy after that but rather a military dictatorship with the martial law being applied till 1987 (from 1949, year in which they lost the civil war in China)

Only after that Taiwan started to open their system and allow general election in the 1990s (in some form in 1991, 1992 and presidential election only in 1996)

There's only a few dozen remaining completely unelected "governments" in the world, and yes, we should definitely get rid of all of them.

Certainly Taiwan never had a legitimate government either until recently but now they do, demonstrating that it can be done. I hope that the CCP can peacefully give up power too, but we should not take any military options off the table.
