  The entire Taiwan situation is entirely due to

  What’s the name of Taiwan’s government again?

      Is it dickish to point out even Taiwan calls itself The Republic of China?

        And China calls itself the People’s Republic of China. Which means China on its own does not exist.

        Which means The Republic of China is not part of The People’s Republic of China.

        Because they consider themselves to be the original China, since their government was formed from the Nationalist (pre-communist) government of China, who were chased out by the Communists.

        The situation is NOT like this:

        🇨🇳: The island of Taiwan is part of me!
        🇹🇼: No, I am an independent nation!

        It’s like this:

        🇨🇳: I am the true China, and the island of Taiwan is part of me!
        🇹🇼: No, I am the true China, and the mainland is part of me!

        Which is why there are some countries that do not recognize the People’s Republic of China (mainland), and instead recognize the Republic of China (Taiwan) as China.

  I guess the evil Chinese authoritarian school teachers even infiltrated the IMF and told them Taiwan is a province of China.
