Doesn't Taiwan call itself RoC, while China call itself PRoC?
So they both are having claims, right?
The communists won in the civil war with wider support and the KMT escaped to Taiwan.

And atleast some people on both sides seem to be thinking about reunification. I think the communists are more correct, but ultimately let the people there decide on how they reunify.

Right now, in Taiwan, most people just want the status quo. China is confident Taiwan will eventually choose full integration eventually, and the biggest obstacle is US presense.

The only reason they want the status quo is because if they would want to separate taiwan would be hell on earth lol

Also because they depend economically on trade with and work on the mainland.
