And "Bangladesh" was part of Pakistan (known as East Pakistan) until it was able to break away and become independent (courtesy of the Indian Army) ---- and "Panama" was part of Colombia until the US government "helped" the "rebels" successfully secede ----etc. etc.
Taiwan has been to all extent and purposes an "independent" country for decades ---- China might be able to "reconquer" it but just because the US and the old Chiang kai-Shek government insisted TAIWAN was "CHINA" for years (before the PRC was "admitted" to the UN and the ROC was thrown out) and just because the PRC has insisted that TAIWAN remains part of China ---- that's just a fiction designed to avoid a military solution --- If the PRC and Taiwan could negotiate a way to politically merge while keeping Taiwanese self-government (which hasn't worked out very well for Hong Kong) that would be great ---- otherwise, if the fiction that they are part of the same country avoids a military move by the PRC --- that would be fine -- Just let's not actually BELIEVE the fiction ...
