Return Chinese Territories: President Taiwan suggested to pick up land in

But President Lai is convinced that it is worth starting with Russia, because some of the originally Chinese lands were handed over to the Russian Empire in the 19th century. Reuters writes about it. If China's claims to Taiwan are concerned with territorial integrity, he must also regain the lands that are now part of Russia. They were handed over to the last Chinese dynasty in the 19th century, said Taiwan President Lai Jin in an interview with the Taiwan media.

China views democratically managed Taiwan as its own territory and has never refused to use the force to take the island under control. The Taiwan government rejects these claims, stating that only the people of the island can decide their future.

In an interview with the Taiwanese TV channel, which was broadcast on Sunday night, Lai, which China calls a "separatist", remembered the Aigun Treaty of 1858, under which China passed the Russian Empire a large plot of land in the territory that is now the Far East of Russia and extends along the river Amur.

The Chinese Qin dynasty, which was in a state of final decline, initially refused to ratify the treaty, but two years later it was confirmed by the Beijing Convention, one of those that China calls "unequal" treaties with foreign countries in the XIX century. The agreement in the city of Aigun was signed by the Governor-General of East Siberia Mykola Muravyov, from China-Aiguni Ambhan and Amur Commander-in-Chief Prince and Shan.

"China's intention to attack and annex Taiwan is not related to what anyone or political party does in Taiwan. China wants to annex Taiwan not for the sake of territorial integr Integrity, why not return the land transferred to Russia under the Agigan treaty, because now the Russian Federation is weak and vulnerable. "The Aigun Treaty signed in Qing's time . . . You can ask Russia to return the land but do not.

So obviously they do not want to invade Taiwan for territorial reasons," Lai said that China just wants to achieve hegemony at international arena, in the western Pacific. The Taiwan Office in China did not immediately respond to a comment request. The China Government claims that Taiwan has been Chinese territory since ancient times.

In 1895, Taiwan transferred Japan under another "unequal" treaty, and in 1945, after the end of World War II, the island was handed over to the Chinese Republic, which fled to Taiwan four years later, losing the Civil War of Communists Mao Zedun. We will remind, earlier the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba stated that Ukraine supports China on the "Taiwanese issue".
