    Doesn’t Taiwan claim ownership over the Chinese mainland as well? They see themselves as the legitimate China.

      As long as Taiwan claims ownership of the mainland, the pro-Taiwan-independence movement is fighting both mainland China and the Taiwanese government. It’s a real dumb move on Taiwan’s part.

      They don’t threaten to invade or attack other people for even saying the name of mainland china.

        I mean Taiwan can try to invade the mainland, but I don’t see that as a very promising enterprise. The difference in power is huge.

        But the official Taiwanese position is that they are China, not the mainland.
