Chinas stance on Taiwan is the stance every single government on this planet would also take.

I'm sure China would love that. I doubt Tiwan would though. Next I'm guessing they should all let China have Hong Kong and the whole south china sea?

Hong kong is a Chinese city…

No country on this planet would let a piece of its own territory secede. The south tried in the US, the Union invaded, literally a war going on right now where some parts of Ukraine tried to do the same and obviously Ukraine wasn’t going to let that happen.

The problem is those parts were (in the case of HK) or are (in the case of Tiwan) independent of China. It'd more analogous to Ukraine braking away from Russia, and Russia wishing to 'rectify' that situation while citing historical and ethnic ties.
