Sort of the joke in the modern US attitude towards Taiwan. They see a break-away province and have no actual respect for their sovereignty. Independent small nations are just colonies-up-for-grabs in the eyes of the US State Department.
So your argument is Russia trying to take over a democratic nation created in the 20th century is imperialism. But China trying to take over a democratic nation created in the 20th century is not…
Yes, they chose to put themselves, economically and politically, within the western sphere of influence. It is not geographic. Weirdness is from your ignorance of geopolitics.

taiwan is just a breakaway province with its own government. even they think they’re china, just look at their name.
the republic of china (taiwan) is recognized by almost nobody, while ukraine is a universally recognized sovereign state.
and i never said russia attacking ukraine is imperialism, i said it’s irredentism.
you really have a surface-level intelligence don’t you…
You should get a medal for those mental gymnastics!! 🤸

It’s why we call iPhone american phones. Despite them being manufactured in China
don’t look what the government in taiwan calls themselves
Eastern China or westernmost state of the USA? You decide!
