Taiwan is split politically on the issue of whether or not it is a part of China or a unique independent nation.



It is also a status quo not really worth rattling at the moment, since all indications are that when Taiwan changes its mind the PRC will start treating it like a breakaway province and start the invasion.


That’s not what GP means. He means they consider themselves to be the “true” China and the “true” ruling faction of China.


That's not what I mean. The political party that won the last 2 elections, DPP, disagrees with both of your points. They believe the Taiwan government is "true" Taiwan and People's Republic of China is "true" China, and their is no overlap because Taiwan and China are separate, independent nation-states. It's the minority party, KMT, that maintains, along with the PRC, that Mainland China and Taiwan are inseparable constituents of the same "Chinese motherland."
