If Taiwan was blatantly fascistic, genocidal, had slavery, etc. I would support China colonizing them... but they aren't.

Taiwan AKA the Republic of China was founded as a settler colonial military dictatorship

    And are they a military dictatorship today? Even when they were, they weren't a threat to world peace or humanity like the Confederacy or the Japanese Empire. By that logic do you think the US military should intervene in African military dictatorships?

    The KMT was certainly a threat to Formosans, and to leftists living in the island they'd seized.

    If the Confederacy had survived the war as rump state in Southern Florida and continued to claim to rule the entire US South and in the mid nineties claimed to be a democracy and then finally elected a non-military president in the aughts, would you call the US imperialist for not recognizing the Confederacy?
