Russia opposes Taiwan’s independence in any form and considers the island an inseparable part of China, Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in remarks published on Sunday.
In an interview with Russia’s TASS state news agency, Lavrov also urged Japan to “think carefully” about what he described as a course towards militarisation".
Why do all these countries (including the USA) keep talking about other countries like they have a say? What does Russia’s word have anything to do with Taiwans independence? Russia can’t even take over a country the size of Texas, right on their own border while losing hundreds of thousands of its soldiers AND all of their n.Korean conscripts. Why does anyone care what Russia thinks anymore?
They’re signaling their intentions that would come to fruition either through international law or warfare. It’s the big diplomatic game that has played out since countries existed.
Because imperialist countries fighting each other still exists
Because consolidation of power and insulating hierarchies, always leads to this.
The reason anyone cares are hegemony, self justification, and that despite the fact that while Russia is is mired in Ukraine. They are still a threat.
Since you included the US, up until recently, the US made it clear it would defend Taiwan from a Chinese invasion. That has made a significant difference to China’s calculations about its own imperialism.
