China in general and Emperor Pooh Xi in particular are looking for trouble in their desire to conquer the lovely people of Taiwan. They are trending to me wishing them ill, which is not a good idea as The Gods are on my side, because I am on theirs = Virtuous Victorian Values. Attacking the nice people in Taiwan is NOT VVV. Who owns what? Some people look to the past to decide what the future should be, with their dea being to resurrect some imagined bygone time, despite the fact that all those people died a generation or 2 or 10 ago. I prefer to look at how things are now and how best to get along into the future which we create from our current wonderful or terrible ideas. Simpletons would say Taiwan and Crimea are both little and were part of China and Russia in bygone times, so they should go back into those realms as they now exist. But those realms are quite different from how they were when Crimea and Taiwan were part of them. Crimea is much more reasonably part of Russia than of Ukraine. And Sevastopol has always been the Russian southern port. Taiwan is not part of anywhere else, just itself. So there's no need for China to get all weird about it. China has never had big military bases there and it was barely part of China anyway. Nor does Taiwan being independent preclude China's unhindered access to the oceans. Hong Kong too doesn't need to be part of China as it never was other than as an almost unpopulated unused little bit of land when the vast carnage of the Made in China civil wars were on during the Taiping battles. Rocky mountain outcrops were not much use back in the day. Nor should Hong Kong be part of UK. Local yokels should determine their own rules-based order. Maybe they'd choose to be run from Whitehall. I guess not. Mqurice
