Why, it's literally the exact same situation.
China (Palestine) is claiming it's theirs even though historically Taiwan (Israel) has the historically further back claim.
However, China (Palestine) argue that ancient claim is voided since they at one point had occupied it - never mind they lost their occupation rights hundreds of years ago to other invading empires (Japan, Ottomans).
History of Taiwan is that Qing Dynasty conquered it in the 17th Century however Japan had also been trying to claim ownership since then. Japan eventually seized control and ruled Taiwan from 1895 until Imperial Japan's collapse in 1945. In 1949, Taiwan became a separate country following the Chinese Civil War.
The CCP has never owned Taiwan and the last claim the mainland had was signed away after the Sino-Japanese war in 1895.
So this is just like how the Palestinians, who are not the original ancient holders of Israel, for the last 500 years have had no autonomous rule or control over the region, and today have no autonomous rule or control over the region.
So how again are they (China, Palestine) entitled to it?
