    Yes I’m aware of why everyone says the same thing officially, I’m just stating that everyone says it. Is hardly a unique thing to say.

      Right, but I don’t think that davel (shown in the OP) is being intellectually honest regarding the ‘one china’ policy and how the Taiwanese actually see it.

        Perhaps, but the truth remains that both China and Taiwan have always claimed it is part of China. It’s not an inaccurate thing to say. So it was a faulty argument to begin with because China was never claiming a Sovereign Nation that had never not been China according to everybody.

        It was always a poor argument especially when there are far better versions of that argument to make such as their attempted stealing of territory belonging to the Philippines.
