Suicide isn't patriotic. And it isn't a Chinese island; that's the point. It's a democratic, independent country that happens to be a US ally.
What does this even mean? You're comparing cats and dogs in an attempt to justify PRC's warrantless claim to an island they've never owned in modern history.
Taiwan and the Donbass Republics are both breakaway states supported by foreign rival governments. The similarity in the situations is why China doesn't actually recognise them or the Crimean occupation; it'd weaken their position on Taiwan.
