  1. The Sudetenland was an integral part of Germany, so Germany was basically taking back or reuniting the country, like happened in 1989 with East German and West German reunification. And the Czech Republic (Czechoslovakia) (and Poland) had ethnic German minorities. Taiwan was historically part of China and both countries make clear that they are Chinese, with the Taiwanese claiming they have a right to rule China and China claiming they have have a right to rule Taiwan. To the Chinese, Taiwan is a renegade province in need of liberation and that China will not be whole until it is united with the mainland. The USA and much of the rest of the world also acknowledge, either explicitly or implicitly, that the Republic of Taiwan is not an independent country de jure but that the People's Republic of China is. They do not officially recognise Taiwan.
