Taiwan claims that China belongs to them. Why do you not require them to declare anything?

  Because they’re not constantly threatening China with war.

  Do you understand that Taiwan would love to do exactly that, but that China would take such a statement as a declaration of independence and would engage in military action? Taiwan literally wants to do exactly what you proposed. They want to renounce having anything to do with China.

    ROC already claims that China belongs to them. Do you understand that?

      You don't really understand, actually. They do not want to take over china, and they do not claim that china belongs to them. Instead, what is happening is that they are not clarifying this stance publicly, because if they clarify that they are not part of china, then china will threaten military action against them. Taiwan is already independent, has no intention of unifying with china, and instead just has to play this game because china threatens them.
