So the way I’ve understood it is:
Although there is no active combat (to my knowledge), since there never was a peace treaty, China is still in a civil war, which is currently being fought by the communist (PRC) and capitalist (ROC) “factions”, so to speak.
This means that both the PRC and the ROC are part of China.
Since a majority of countries declare that the sole legitimate government of china is the PRC, this makes the PRC the legitimate government of China.
Taiwan is not a separate country from China the same way that Fascist Spain was not a separate country from Spain during the Spanish civil war.
Is what I wrote here correct, or did I misunderstand anything? Any corrections are welcome.
I know Taiwan is part of China. I just wanted to see if my understanding of why that is is correct… I expected people to say something like “yes that is correct” or “actually it’s more like this”, but your comment seems like something that would be said to a lib that said that Taiwan is a country, which I am not…
Maybe I’m overthinking too much, but seeing how you got as many upvotes as the post, it makes me think that people misunderstood what the post meant…
I just wanted to understand things better 😢
Sorry, didn’t mean to sound condescending there. Just wanted to outline all the points on why Taiwan is absolutely a part of China since a lot of people don’t know the background. Hopefully the links are useful for discussing it with people who are confused on the issue.
