Taiwan was never unified with mainland China to begin with, anyway. They have no claim over it. Not that that stops the CCP from claiming everything in the Pacific.

Even if, I used to be there is not a valid claim anyhow.

Exactly. If California voted to leace the US tomorrow then they would have every right to be free. Same for Northern Ireland, Scotland, Catalonia, and Südtirol.

California can not just vote to legally secede without approval from the US congress.

Eh, precedent is severely overrated. China doesn't have any right to Taiwan because all people have a right to self determination. China invading Taiwan would be just as terrible as Spain forcing Catalonia to remain, or the US using violence to keep California from seceding.
