The country you are thinking of calls itself the Republic of China and claims the land area of two whole other countries as well as smidges of eight or so others.

I’m also not saying Taiwan isn’t a real place. Of course it’s a real place! But the country it’s part of is not called Taiwan

PRC and ROC(Taiwan) are two separate entities both claiming to be China. Both have those claims however only one of them is encroaching on them. (9 dash line, Arunachal Pradesh, etc…) the systems of governance and cultures of the people are very different

Lets not pretend like ROC wouldn’t encroach on them just like the PRC if they had the power to

The historical Chinese province of Taiwan only consists of the western coastal plains while modern Taiwan includes both the plains and the mountainous region where indigenous people live which was never a part of China

I mean why wouldn’t they if they already claim it?

You’re getting into hypotheticals now. That’s assuming the KMT would be as insecure like CCP is. There is a greater diversity of thought in Taiwan

I mean the KMT was plenty insecure if they lost the civil war to begin with

Well yeah but modern Taiwanese people just want sovereignty of their island. They have a distinct history from the PRC and follow their own traditional Chinese culture which was unaffected by Maoist erasure. Unifiers are only on the political fringe

Believe it or not continuing to claim all of China is actually seen as less geopolitically “offensive” than declaring itself independent. So Taiwan continues to do that

That’s true but that’s my point. The country is called China they just have no land because they sucked at governing

Would you say the same thing about any other government that lost a civil war or got conquered. If not why exactly?

Or you can look at the testimonies from the people who were there, including independent journalists and even students who were part of the protests
