- tivert 8y ago> I thought Taiwan believed themselves to be China. As the govt. in exile. Some of them do, and I believe that's still the official position (so as to not anger the PRC), but they've been politically separate for so long that many Taiwanese believe they are a separate nation and have little desire for future political integration with the mainland [1]. IIRC, the current Taiwanese president is from a pro-independence [2].
