    Taiwanese citizens are in fact Chinese citizens because Taiwan is part of China, the political reality is more complex than I think people realize, but China considers Taiwan to be part of China.

      Yes but does Taiwan consider itself part of China?

        Well before I got voted down, that was my point. China and Taiwan consider both territories as China. This literally means that Taiwanese see Taiwan as China, and both belief systems are in agreement about there being one China, they just disagree about how that works.

        Foreigners don’t get that Taiwanese see themselves as Chinese, and it’s just infinitely more complex than they are two different countries, mostly because that’s not really the case.
