Are you referring to Taiwan as independent and sovereign? Had the PRC pursued ROC 70 years ago, this conversation wouldn’t be happening. China certainly sees Taiwan as belonging to it.

Unfortunately, unless they peacefully fold back into China, a war for their independence is the most likely outcome.
