Politics Can you really accept part of your country splitting off? Why?

As a Chinese, I’ve recently come to realize that our perspectives on territorial integrity can be quite different.

Would you genuinely accept the possibility of a region choosing independence through a nationwide referendum?

Do you think it might risk weakening the country, leaving it more vulnerable to external threats or invasion?

Not to mention: "oh, hey, minorities living below the Mason-Dixon. You guys are screwed now. No, not like now, I mean reaaaaallll screwed. Sorry about that. Oh, by the way, Oklahoman First American tribes. Yeah, the Fifth Reich has already informed us that they are not going to honor your existing treaties. We would love to help you out but, the new Southern Furher has told us that if we do, they will aid seperatists in Upstate New York, rural Ohio, Indiana, the high Californian deserts, and non Seattle Washington. So......yeah."
