Even Taiwanese Government does not call Taiwan as a country, rather they call themselves as Republic of China and even claims all of the mainlands territory and citizenry as their own. Taiwanese themselves have not made up their mind till now officially on sovereignty.
- yladiz 5y agoNo, most Taiwanese have made up their mind and would like Taiwan to be recognized as an independent country, and do not consider themselves Chinese (as in mainland China). The issue is that as soon as the Taiwanese government said that they don’t claim China, it’s akin to claiming independence and China would possibly go to war.
- publicola1990 5y agoSeeing the Taiwanese politics, presently KMT is opposed to giving up the claims to mainland (KMT has historically ambitions of taking back mainland), and DPP are statusquoists, and there no significant political movement in Taiwan that is espousing Sovereignty. US itself has a "One China" policy.
- CogitoCogito 5y agoThe US’ One China policy is just to acknowledge that the PRC claims that Taiwan is its territory. The US has never recognized this claim.
- publicola1990 5y agoUS has also not recognised Taiwanese Sovereignty.
- CogitoCogito 5y agoI never said otherwise. I just wanted to readers to understand that the US One China policy is really to just not have official relations with the ROC. The policy is _not_ to recognize the PRC's claims to Taiwan as well as the other territories the ROC controls. You seem to apparently know this, but there is much confusion on the internet so I thought I'd clarify.
