Don't Argentina's claims basically come from it being part of the same Spanish colony? Cause idk that doesn't sound very de-colonialist to me.

but like, on serious note, this is probably just China doing the whole 'East Turkestan is a real country' shit but in reverse.

    China recently renamed Okinawa to Ryukyu in its internal nomenclature and Xi was reported specifically talking about Ryukyu's historical connections with China.

    Seems like we're entering the "two can play at that game" stage of Chinese diplomacy.

    Not a huge fan of this. I know why they're doing this but it sucks for the people living on the Falkland Islands being used as pawns in a larger geopolitical game.
