    Taiwan is its own country. I will never understand why some people outside China insist that Taiwan is a part of China.

      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.

      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
