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".

    China claims Taiwan is part of its nation, but that has not been the actual case for nearly 80 years.

    Taiwan has internal civil disputes about whether it is part of China only in the context of it being the legitimate goverment in exile of China. Those are the only people claiming Taiwan is part of China, so if you agree with that you must agree with them as well. Do you agree that Taiwan are the legitimate leaders of China?
