Not the "same". NK and SK both have stronger international recognition then Taiwan does. NK is censured and shunned by many states, but it's independence isn't

NK is censured and shunned by many states, but it's independence isn't challenged. SK isn't challenged either.
- mytailorisrich 7y agoYou're missing the point. The situation is the same. The difference in the case of China is that one side is strong enough to influence the international community's recognition of the other side. The point being that mainland China + Taiwan constitute the 'Chinese sphere' so to speak. The formal position of both sides on many international issues is not very different. For example, although mainland China gets a lot of flack for its claims in the South China Sea, Taiwan has the same claims because both sides agree that this area should be under Chinese sovereignty.
