Taiwan has a right to defend itself if it chooses to.
It doesn't. The vast majority of countries recognize the PRC having sovereignty over Taiwan, as does the UN. There is no right to separatism or anything like that. Rather the PRC has the right to enforce their sovereignty. The US btw has no right to send to troops into China, that's an act of war.
So you're not a fan of national self determination then?
The right to self-determination does not mean a right to an independent state or any right to secede.
Also I'm not a fan of creating a new national identity just so the US can claim part of China for its puppet regime. That's using nationalism for a colonial divide-and-conquer strategy, that's pretty much the opposite of liberation and self-determination.
