President of Taiwan advises China to return “historical” lands to Russia

Taiwanese President Lai Tsingde suggested that China take away Russia's “historical” lands in the Far East. According to him, Russia is currently in a weak position.

This was reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to Reuters.

According to him, if China's claims to Taiwan are about territorial integrity, it should also return the lands transferred to Russia by the last Chinese dynasty in the 19th century.

“China should also demand from Russia its 'historical' lands in the Far East. Why not return the lands occupied by Russia under the Aigun Treaty? Russia is now in its weakest position,” Lai Qingde said.

Qingde noted that China does not do this, but continues to threaten to annex Taiwan. This is because Beijing does not want to annex Taiwan for the sake of territorial integrity.

“China's intention to attack and annex Taiwan is not related to what any one person or political party in Taiwan says or does. China does not want to annex Taiwan for the sake of territorial integrity,” Lai said.
