Isn't this kinda an empty gesture seeing as how the islands were basically uninhabited and China is recognizing Spanish imperial claims on the islands?

Still cool, but it's not really a big thing. Seems more like China just jabbing the US about Taiwan which is still funny.

With the Malvinas happens the exact same thing as it happens with Gibraltar, Bermuda, and other British Overseas Territories: they act as remnants of a colonial past that serve as outposts from which to project British interests throughout the world. In other words, the problem is not that the Malvinas Islands are not under Argentinian control as much as that they are under British control.

It's just a rock it doesn't matter who says they own it. It's not the British flag we hate it's British imperialism
