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".
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.
