You will never understand why every US president since the Chinese civil war has said Taiwan is not a separate country? You will never understand why every year more nations drop the historical alignment with the former fascist dictatorship of the civil war’s losers to the current internationally recognized government of China? You will never understand something that has been understood for literally 70 years?
It doesn’t matter what the people outside China think. The people inside China - on both sides of the Taiwan strait - think Taiwan is part of China. They all call themselves Chinese except the tiny minority that speak with American accents. There are indigenous ethnic minorities on Taiwan whose ancestors were not part of China, but they didn’t call themselves ‘Taiwan’ because that’s a Chinese word.
Don’t say that in Taiwan. You might get into trouble.
Taiwan, or rather The Republic of China, claims to be the legitimate China. This includes all of the mainland. The losers of China’s civil war fled to Taiwan, but their claim to all of China continues.
just fyi, I live in Taiwan, and people never get into trouble for saying that. don’t lecture me on how to behave in my homeland. now I know you didn’t know I lived here, but just maybe, maybe you should refrain from saying stuff you don’t know well enough about
Taiwan is its own country. I will never understand why some people outside China insist that Taiwan is a part of China.

Sounds like a skill issue.

And people in the Netherlands call themselves Dutch…
You think it’s absurd that some people think the Republic Of China is part of China?
I get that names aren’t everything, but it reflects both the recent history and the de jure policies of the ROC, PRC, UN and USA.
