Do you know anything about Chinese history? Governments have been overthrown because of their response to floods, not ownership of any particular island.

It was also a common belief that natural disasters such as famine and flood were divine retributions bearing signs of Heaven's displeasure with the ruler, so there would often be revolts following major disasters as the people saw these calamities as signs that the Mandate of Heaven had been withdrawn.

This isn't about Canada, the other countries in Asia are fed up with China's bull***t territorial claims that they make up all the time. Also lets all remember when other countries have had to literally shoot off Chinese ships for illegal fishing in their waters

"Some 250 Chinese vessels fish for squid just outside Argentina’s 200-mile EEZ, sometimes dashing into Argentina’s waters illegally. When a Chinese jigger intruded in 2018, an Argentine warship pursuing it was nearly rammed by three other Chinese jiggers. “It’s literally a war,” said Milko Schvartzman, a former Greenpeace campaign manager and fisheries expert who estimates the illegal Argentinian fishery at $1 billion a year. “I have no doubt this will end in tragedy.”

China is the incel of Nations, constantly bullying other countries, invading their own territory and stealing whatever they can from everybody then when people push back they cry about it

A better Canadian comparison would be Jamaica (originally was going to be included in Canada), or the Northern US states (we have to US to prevent future conflicts after 1812)

But that would assume Canada is actively claiming it and was the aggressor. A more homely example is Russia’s claim to Canada’s arctic territory however even that has been mostly diplomatic
