International relations are not a matter of who is right, they're a matter of what can be forced on whom.

Bingo!!.. (I hope you didn't think I was arguing otherwise)..

I just find it kind of ridiculous for a nation such as China to use such hollow justifications to defend the indefensible, claiming that they have some right to rule Taiwan.

Hey.. if they want reunification, then they should modify their political system to the extent that the Taiwanese CHOOSE to join with them.

As it stands now, their logic is little different than what Saddam used to invade Kuwait, or what Hitler used to occupy Austria and Czechoslovakia.
