This isn’t semantics, the “China” they’re referring to is the same place, both governments claim to be the legitimate ruler of all of China, It’s not “The republic of one little island off China” and “The People’s Republic of all of China except that one little island”

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.
