It’s a common scheme, Authoritarian claims people in neighbouring country are ethnically/culturally the same as them, accuses the target country of suppressing “their” people, invades to “Protect” “their” people. Rinse and repeat.
I’m not sure deep into the details of taiwan and china, but iirc they both more or less agree that they are “the china”, and just disagree on the exact details
Idk but I believe the pretext was ethnically “Russian” people living in Ukrainian territories. It is true that the two countries share a great deal of ethnic heritage. The Rus people were from Kyiv.
Yes, Putin will use any misinformation and manipulation he can, including making a terrorist attack and blame it on others to promote his agenda. That is how he came to power!
Isn’t that pretty much what Putin said about Ukraine before invading?

Sounds like your just giving the Chinese talking points weight.
As someone who actually lived in Taiwan, this is utter bullshit.
Also Hitler called Austrians German before annexing them.
Well he was Austrian, not super surprising he felt that way about it.

No it was nothing of the kind. He claimed Ukrainians were basically Russian, that is not about Russian minorities.
I think we’re splitting hairs. We agree that Putin is just using the subject of ethnicity as a tool for conquest.
