       Koxinga was a Ming loyalist. In 1662, after a nine-month siege,
       Koxinga captured the Dutch fortress Zeelandia. Taiwan then
       became his base. The Qing (Manchu) dynasty (1644-1911) defeated
       Koxinga’s progeny in 1683. They ruled part of the island as
       Taiwan Prefecture. In 1875, the island was divided into two
       prefectures (north and south). In 1887, Taiwan became the
       Fokien-Taiwan Province of China. (The above brief history is
       from Wikipedia, July 30, 2022).

       I fully support PRC viewing itself as the successor to the Qing

       which (due to Xi's dripping Eurocentrism) it currently is not
       doing, thereby making its claim over Taiwan appear arbitrary.
       This is the problem now. The solution is for China to invade
       Outer Manchuria at once.

       Now with Sweden and Finland joining NATO, we should also recall:
  HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyenschantz
       --- Quote ---
       > Nyenschantz (Russian:
       Ниенша́нц,
       Nienshants; Swedish: Nyenskans; Finnish: Nevanlinna) was a
       Swedish fortress at the confluence of the Neva River and Okhta
       River, the site of present-day Saint Petersburg, Russia.
       > ...
       > the Swedish fortress Landskrona, built in the year 1300 by
       Tyrgils Knutsson, who was the Lord High Constable of Sweden.
       Landskrona was a very large and unusually well fortified wooden
       fortress with eight towers. In the spring of 1301 the Russians
       amassed a large army and laid siege to the fortress. When a fire
       broke out inside the fortress the Swedes retreated to the
       basement. The last of the Swedish defenders were captured and
       the Russians burned down the fortress.[2]
       > ...
       > In 1609, the Vyborg Treaty was signed by Sweden and Tsardom of
       Russia as a package of military agreements that were supposed to
       be mutually beneficial to both countries.
       > ...
       > The Ingrian War was triggered in 1610 as the new stability of
       Russia led to increased resistance to Polish occupation and
       Swedish influence in the country. As the Poles were defeated in
       Moscow, Russia began to actively resist the Swedish influence as
       they sought to regain control over occupied territories,
       including the province of Ingria, which Sweden insisted on
       keeping based on Russia violating conditions in the Vyborg
       Treaty. Sweden constructed a fortress in Ingria at a strategic
       position at the confluence of the prominent Neva River and one
       of its tributaries, the Okhta River. The new fort was officially
       named Nyenskans, derived from the Swedish terms Nyen-, the name
       for the Neva, and -skans meaning "bastion", and was capable of
       housing 500 people. The Ingrian War ended in Swedish victory in
       1617 after the signing of the Treaty of Stolbovo, resulting in
       Russia ceding the territories to Sweden.
       > ...
       > According to church records, the town's population was largely
       made up of Finns, secondarily Swedes, and some Germans.[3]

       fortress was taken by Peter the Great during the Ingrian
       campaign of the Great Northern War.
