Lmao. Does California get its own UN seat next? Maybe Alaska while we're at it
Remind me again: What legislative power does China hold over Taiwan? And can the Brits reclaim their former territory too?
It is recognized as a part of China by almost every country on earth including the US (despite its endless shit stirring on all fronts, all they're good for nowadays). The ROC, by the way, also claims mainland China and itself to be the same territory, and their constitution reflects that too, what they disagree on is whether they're the legitimate government of all of China or the PRC is.
If you think Taiwan is the legitimate government of all of China you need to come back to the real world from wherever the state department lured you into.
Neither the PRC nor the ROC control both China and Taiwan. There is China and there is Taiwan. The realities on the ground reflect that.
