The actual name of Taiwan is the Republic of China. I thought their entire thing was they believed they were the rightful government of China as a whole. It totally makes sense that they would identify as Chinese based on that.

Yeah but the government and the people aren't the same entity.

Even some in the government are iffy on "Republic of China".

No, really, that's how I answer. If pressed, I'll say my parents are from Taiwan, but my grandparents fled there from China during the revolution.

Treat yourself to it when you can. It's tremendous.

Aren't Taiwanese technically OG (culturally) Chinese in exile? Are they ever planning to take back the mainland from the communists?

I wonder how Taiwanese people who were there before the Revolution feel about the Chinese in exile?
