    The ROC’s territorial claims are a side effect of the PRC’s stance on Taiwan. I don’t remember the exact details but essentially the PRC has previously declared that it would interpret any change in the ROC’s territorial claims as a declaration of war. It’s a matter of pragmatism.

      Given that the civil war never technically ended, I’m pretty sure a “declaration of war” just reinforces the status quo.
