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".

    The USA didn’t give away California to someone else than start saying I want it back. Chinese was not always called Chinese either. Places, ethnic group names etc. change in history . I don’t see the pertinence of that.

      China was invaded by Japan and lost the war. To claim China gave away the island to Japan is like saying I have my wallet to the mugger. It reveals how unserious you are in your discourse
