@thejinn99 "sorry, you're misinformed here. I'm a Taiwanese American, and definitely not from China"
Sorry, but what exactly am I misinformed about? I never spoke about you before. So how does where you come from suddenly matter? How is that relevant?
"I was born in Taiwan, which is a different country than Taiwan. We're culturally and politically different"
You were born in Taiwan, a different country(?) than Taiwan?
If you were born from Taiwan under Japanese rule, then yes, you were from from a different country than "Taiwan", aka China.
By the way, "Taiwans" very own constitution explicitly refers to Taiwan as a province of China. And let me tell you something, every single province of China is somewhat culturally different from one another. Your point?
HK is also politically different. Again, your point?
"Plus, you think the Nationalists who lost the war against the CCP treated my islander ancestors well?"
Why do you keep bringing up irrelevant points? I spoke nothing about the treatment of anything. Why assume how I "think" when I spoke nothing on it? Thats baseless.
"No. From my perspective they took over the island"
I hope youre a Taiwanese aboriginal then. If not, then your ancestors were the ones that took over the island from the aborigines.

@NomadWalker-io3ne "Taiwan is a country, it's official name is the Republic of China"
Wrong. The "country" that ROC claims to be is the country called CHINA, not "Taiwan". Taiwan is PART of ROC, aka CHINA.
"Taiwan no longer claims the mainland it simply never updated its constitution to say so because China which refers to the People's Republic of China says it will invade if they do"
Wrong. They STILL claim mainland China as part of their territory. Its the core value of KMT. And they TRIED to constitutionally revoke their claims in the constitution, but FAILED as they need 75% of the votes to make that change and they couldnt get 75% votes. This is got nothing to do with PRC. The leading DPP already revoked their claims over the mainland. If PRC didnt "let" them how come they didnt invade already? And whats ROCs constitution got to do with PRC? What PRC does not allow is the name change to Republic of "Taiwan". Thats what will trigger the invasion, not revoking claims over mainland territory.
"Taiwan has claimed itself to be a country before the PRC was even a country"
"Taiwan" never claimed to be a "country". ROC did. And ROChina claimed to be the country called CHINA as stated in their name.
"it simply went from the name China to Taiwan after the PRC stole that name"
Repubilc of CHINA never "changed" their name to "Taiwan". Theyre still called CHINA. Theyre just REFERRED to as "Taiwan" to differentiate themselves from PRC so that the international community doesnt get confused. But make no mistake, they till this day still claim to be the country called China.
And no, ROC effectively lost the Chinese Civil War so they were replaced by PRC. Its common for successor states to use the same name of the country they claim to be. Whats this "stealing" nonsense?
"Taiwan is a province of the Republic of China not the PRC"
And PRC is recognised internationally as the successor state of ROC. A successor state inherits all of its predecessors debt, territory, assets, etc.
"the ROC has two provinces, one of which is Taiwan"
Wrong. Read up ROCs constitution. They clearly mention their other provinces like Xinjiang, Tibet, etc.
"since Taiwan is the main province and the mainland of ROC people simply call the country as a whole as Taiwan"
No. ROC claims that their "mainland" is mainland China. And calling ROC simply as "Taiwan" is for the politically ignorant. Lets not be politically ignorant. Taiwan is PART OF ROC, not Taiwan IS ROC
