Do you get casual harassment from randon Chinese often? How do you deal with it?

This weekend when I try to enjoy a nice hotel breakfast. A Chinese lady talked to me and asked me if I'm Chinese. I politely reply no, I'm Taiwanese. And she proceed to say, "oh, soon anyway", hinting Taiwan will soon become part of China. It spoiled the breakfast mood for me.
It is not the first time I met Chinese who bluntly give comment that Taiwan is part of China or Taiwan will be part of China.
How do you deal with it? I didn't have any good comeback so I just walked away...

If you want to gain some sympathy for the oppressed chinese people, I recommend this video which explains how their social credit system works.
It's so much worse than I imagined it. One day soon I hope the chinese will be free.

If you are based in the western world I'd recommend you to just ignore it. Anti-Taiwanese ideology is widespread in the Chinese speaking world through state media and it spreads like a brain-worm.
But the worst way it could catch on in the west is by making it controversial or even a topic of discussion in the first place. Thus if you're arguing with her she has already won. I'd either ignore her (don't give her what she wants) or appeal to morality (e.g. "Why are you so hateful?") as better strategies
