This video explains Taiwan is part of China, even Mongolia is part of China before. Some statements are not accurate / correct, but given the rough history of Taiwan, China.
China traditional enemy was Russia. Russia occupied far east territory over 1 million square kilometres from China. Unfortunately, US wants to be China's enemy now.
Certainly no different to Europe with regard to border changes and empires rising and falling... In fact, no different to anywhere in the world.
That has been a theme throughout all of human history, so it's not only unsurprising that it also happened within this vast region, it would be astonishing if it had not.
So what's your point?
That international relations are exceedingly complex?
That territorial claims on non-integrated land will and do exist today?
That human cultural and ethnic memory of injustice, conquest and defeat is long?
So...
Should, say, Germany recognise
in perpetuity the Oder-Neisse line (something which the Poles requested and which James Baker scoffed at 'given European history')?
Sovereignty and territorial claims are an ineradicable part of human history and its future, and will remain so as long as humans exist in large complex societies; and, like tides of seas and oceans, will ebb and flow... perpetually.
