    The official name of Taiwan’s government is Republic of China, and it’s the continuation of the government that controlled all of China before Mao’s uprising.

    So I’m not sure your argument makes sense. They claim to be the legitimate Chinese government in their own name.

      Outside of that very specific context, China == PRC. I understand the history of Taiwan very well, and it’s important for people to understand that they are two different countries.

        Yeah, in colloquial usage, most people understand that China and Taiwan are two different countries and there’s no confusion over which one is which.
