I’m still holding onto whatever fleeting hope that this map will be overwhelmingly blue at some point.

Taiwan is still de-facto recognized by most red countries. Also a lot of red countries either publicly opposed any military “integration” of RoC into PRC or suggested that they would sanctions China and aid Taiwan in such case or in some extreme cases (Japan, the US, Australia) hinted that they might join the actual warfare in a case of Beijing’s aggression.
And, in addition, 95% of countries in the world while not recognizing RoC, still officially recognize its passports and other official documents

Taiwan or mainland china is the same 🙂 they are still Chinese, make no differences. If ROC won the Civil War, they’ll be an imperialist just like the CPC. Something happens 70 years ago doesnt change their 4000 years history

Kinda hard to recognize both at the same time when they both claim all of mainland China + Taiwan. Could Taiwan drop the claim on mainland China in exhange for mainland China dropping the claim on Taiwan?

My assumption, is if you asked all world leaders behind closed doors, they’d say Taiwan is its own independent country. But they know not to or else CCP China will get all butthurt and mad

I remember the Guatemala thing… if i recall it was actually beneficial for them, like Taiwan investing in the country and building roads in return for the recognition

Shoutouts to Kosovo, which was recognized very early by Taiwan, to which the Kosovian government replied with a “thanks” and proceeded to not return the favour to get China’s recognition (which they still haven’t gotten after 17 years)

This whole setup actually comes from the traditional Chinese idea of a unified civilization.
Both the PRC and the ROC claim to be the one and only legit government of China, and they view the other as nothing more than a rebellious local regime. Because of that, any country that wants diplomatic relations with “China” basically has to pick one or the other to recognize — you can’t have both.
That’s totally different from situations like North/South Korea or East/West Germany, where the rivals didn’t insist the other was just a local uprising with zero legit status

um Somaliland recognizes Taiwan, since they’re recognized by 1 UN member now we should add them on the map

Unpopular opinion (in the West at least) but there shouldn’t be anything wrong with saying that: the ROC is the legitimate Chinese government, the Mainland is occupied by a communist government in rebellion against China, Taiwan is the only part of China controlled by the actual government, Taiwan is the only free and democratic area of China. I don’t understand why there’s literally no issue of this sort when it comes to Korea; nobody in the West would be upset by someone saying that South Korea is controlled by the Republic of Korea, which has a legitimate claim to being the true, free and democratic government of Korea. Nobody would say that the ROK should declare independence for South Korea from the rest of Korea because that reflects practical reality better. And everyone’s fine with that.
