The point is its has been distinct political entity for 61 years. New Zealand was originally going to be another state of Australia but they didn't join federation. Ethnically and culturally Australia and NZ are almost identical, but they are two distinct nation states with their own public institutions and national identity, just like PRC and ROC.If you put politics into its different, but saying 61 years from China isn't correct, 61 years from PRC but not China. Its still part of China, not PRC I'm talking about. Right now its just a clash of who claims the title of China. ROC or PRC. Australia and New Zealand totally different story. The island of Tawain was always part of China but then the nationalist fled to an island of China called Tawain, still part of China for a stronghold. Then they started to settle. Up to this point they still class themselves as Chinese and real China, but with different political party.
Geographically and ethnically Taiwan may be part of China, but it is in no way part of the modern Chinese state. If one state attacks another militarily its referred to as an invasion, which is the point.
What? I think you're misunderstanding what defines a nation state. Here's a clue, just because they may have the same word in their name does not mean they are the same political entity . You think North Korea is a territory of South Korea or vice-versa just because they both have the word Korea in their name?Part of who's territory? Tawain is and island part of China. Your just mixing it up with politics. Tawain the island is called but its official name of the island from the nationalist is Republic of CHINA
Taiwan IS NOT part of the Peoples Republic of China; no PRC laws are applicable in Taiwan, no PRC authority reigns in Taiwan, there is no PRC military or civilian presence in Taiwan and the PRC's public institutions have no jurisdiction there.
In order for any geographic area to be considered a territory of any nation state that state needs to be able to impose a desired reality on it. Everyone may consider the Falklands as part of Argentina, I mean they are a few islands of the South American coast right? As if you would consider them part of the UK. The point is Argentina lacks the military ability to impose its laws and public institutions on that geographical area so in reality its not an Argentinian territory. The same applies to China and Taiwan.
