    I’m talking about Taiwanese calling themselves an independent country. They are because the people living there consider themselves as such.

    The government cannot come out and say it because they will be invaded if they break the status quo.

    Hence we have to look at the will of the people to determine such things and that proves you wrong.

      Yes I know what you mean, but see, there is ROC whose contitution currenlty says Taiwan is only a region, and the PRC, who says the same. This is what I adressed before. And besides, by the poll you mention, that even undermines it, as when the rest supports things stay the same, means the majority supports Taiwan is a part of ROC.

        Oh okay so the RoC is an independent country and the PRC is just a rebellious region of the legitimate Chinese government then?

          ROC is a loser of the Chinese civil war, a separatist state, currently full with American funded politicians that paratize on the Chinese territory. And there is no state or constitution that calls itself Taiwan. Therefore the original commenters statement is plain wrong. I don’t even know why somebody can make a false statement, and when called out, everybody in response come with complex analytics besides the point. I don’t even understand what you mean.
