Anyone with even a smidge of knowledge about the actual situation of the Taiwan issue.

Contrary to what's usually depicted, neither Taiwan nor China consider Taiwan as an independent country. Taiwan, or more accurately the Republic of China (ROC), claims sovereignty over this territory.

Both the ROC and the People's Republic of China (PRC) consider Taiwan to be a province of China, it just happens that the ROC only has control over Taiwan while the PRC has control over China
