So the southern US is its own independent country right? The losing side of civil wars gets to keep "their" land? (Actually this is being too charitable to Taiwan, they actually invaded land and called it theirs)

The KMT and CPC are both from China. The vast vast majority of Taiwanese are not KMT from China nor any of their descendants.

Unless you suggest that KMT is a nationality or ethnicity, 95-97% of Taiwan population is Han Chinese (mostly Hoklo and Hakka), and barely 2% are indigenous.
