The "our government represents ALL of China" that both the PRC and ROC gov'ts proclaimed is/was a mistake. China and Taiwan are in practice and reality now two countries, and the people in each don't benefit from the saber rattling.
It would be the same as North or South Korea being the only "Korea" recognized by other governments or UN.

With China’s influence especially in Africa and the Middle East growing there is less and less chance of Taiwan being recognized as an independent country without a global conflict or a massive political shift in China.
