  Oh? When did they renounce their territorial claim of the mainland?

    Irrelevant to the fact that Taiwan is an independent country.

      So is Taiwan part of China or is it not? Because if they haven’t renounced their claims, then they’re still maintaining that they’re part of China, are they not?

        You don’t need to declare independence to be independent. Only if you were dependent in the first place you claim independence.

        ROC was never dependent on PRC. They just both claim the same territory. They are 2 independent countries that claim the same territory, just like both Israel and Palestine are 2 independent countries that claim the same territory.

      do you mean that you think it is an independent country, or rather, that you think it should be one?

      if you believe they are already independent, why do you think they still have an active independence movement? do any other independent countries have that? 🤔
