1A google search only returns this page on that (quoted) phrase. Are you claiming it appeared somewhere (in some other language)?– got trolled too much this weekCommented Aug 21, 2022 at 17:56

3The general question about "international law and self-determination" was asked in politics.stackexchange.com/q/70925/26455.– Rick SmithCommented Aug 21, 2022 at 18:11

5I am puzzled by the phrasing of the question. Do you expect international law, rather than particular treaties/agreements, to refer specifically to Taiwan, by name? If not what doesn't international law regarding the self-determination of people cover with regards to Taiwanese people's aspirations, besides the inconvenient fact that China has a UN veto vote?– Italian Philosophers 4 MonicaCommented Aug 21, 2022 at 20:11

4i.e. what's special about Taiwan that they would not be expected to have that right, after 73 years of self-government? If the country wanting to force reunification was Belgium, not China, would anyone give a crap about Belgium's wishes in the matter, legally speaking?– Italian Philosophers 4 MonicaCommented Aug 21, 2022 at 20:20

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. united-states), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
