I think it's only ridiculous to the recipients of US MSM (which don't get me wrong, is hegemonic, but still insular). There's no confusion to it from the perspective of the RoC government (which claims a much wider legacy of the Qing government than the PRC does), the US government's official stance and 180 of 193 UN member states.
- ajmurmann 4y agoThey do have a separate government in practice and seem to like it that way. Isn't that reason to see it as two separate countries?
- derefr 4y agoNot if both governments consider the people living on the other government’s landmass to be rightfully their citizens as well. A close analogy might be to East and West Germany: both agreed that there should be just one place called “Germany”; they just didn’t agree on who should be in charge of it.
- throwaway_4ever 4y agoRoC only claims that because any deviation from their existing policy is "declaring independence" and what China wants as an excuse to invade and kill millions of people. Which is only ridiculous and unknown to consumers of China and Russia MSM.
