Taiwan was given away to the Japs after a war. You can say China lose it to Japan but either way, they lose their sovereignty which means if Japan give way (which they did) then Taiwan is on its own. A treaty was signed then that China cease control over Formosa (current day's Taiwan).

I also want to point to your attention that the map if named accurately was drawn under Manchurian rule. If that stands true then by the same token of your argument, I can say that the whole of China, Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjing should be hearing commands from Manchuria which existed as a separate kingdom for a short span of time (yeah yeah...you are going to throw me the "puppet government theory" but isn't China doing the same with the Panchen Lama in Tibet, knowing its significance to the Tibetans?). Tibet is not Taiwan so you can throw that out of the window.

By the way, I have assumed that you are Chinese (PRC) because you had decided (in identifying) that you are Chinese and stopped there. If I am American of Chinese descent then I would identify myself as American before anything else, ie. American Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, French, English, German...etc. but you have decided that your identity as a Chinese precedes anything else and you stopped at that.

To correct your similarly wrong assumptions about me, I am neither Chinese or Taiwanese so you are wrong. I am not pro-Taiwan or Pro-China, I'm merely sticking to facts and it obviously upsets you.
