Yes we all know that is presently the case - so why do try to keep making a point out of it?
Everytime the USA is sending a high ranking politician to Taiwan - it belongs to China, so no outsider politician has a right to even go there (not even to mention spreading support towards segregation) - other then invited by Beijing. Look at the USA or Australia's reaction towards the e.g. China's Confucius institutes in those countries.
You really that naive? or you just want to play games? for my part I am not interested in such games.
That is because you don't want to see it. - e.g. the USA declaring military action and support towards a separatist movement in another country.
In other words - Taipei go for independence if China attacks you we will come in. That is not just inciting a war, that is actually asking for one.
So the USA sending military aircraft and spy-planes into other countries airspace is different? China is not allowed to have an amphibious force to protect their outlying territories?
China's expansion into the South-China-Sea? - it is the result of colonial policies conducted by foreign powers in the last 400 years.
Silly statement - no one is willing to die for freedom other then a minority of fanatics and politician talking and inciting bullocks.
But I do understand your mindset - which would include that you will go with the Palestinian self-determination and fight against Israel and their prime supporter USA
You don't seem to understand the fundamental difference between HK (a former colony-obtained via open threat of force) being returned to China and Taiwan being an existing province of China with it's own elected democracy, administration and security forces.
Since there was never a public general election conducted by the people throughout China, the ROC wasn't "proper" at all.Taipei still holds 90% precious treasure of the forbidden city as R.O.C - the proper successor of Qin dynasty.
This guarantees Taiwan's security.

Interesting perspective, jagdflieger. Were Chinese dynasties in the history decided by election? General election is a western idea introduced to Asia in the 19th century but it is not almighty in Asia yet. Even in such a stituation, PRC is a proper successor of ROC, not the Qin dynasty.Since there was never a public general election conducted by the people throughout China, the ROC wasn't "proper" at all.
Maybe you should read up onto the Hubei provincial assembly to proclaim the establishment of the Chinese republic in 1911 and the ongoing issues including the April 12th Incident of 1927.
On Oct. 25, 1971, the United Nations General Assembly voted to admit the People's Republic of China (mainland China) and to expel the Republic of China (Taiwan). The Communist P.R.C. therefore assumed the R.O.C.'s place in the General Assembly as well as its place as one of the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council.
Therefore the PRC is undoubtedly a UN recognized state.
Has the UN recognized Taiwan as an independent state? - NO
And how some artifacts are supposed to guarantee Taiwan's security - maybe you want to elaborate more onto this?
It depends onto ones interpretation of the term "proper", and from 1927 until 1948 (The Kuomintang (KMT), ruled China from 1927 to 1948 before it moved to the island of Taiwan) there was never a general public election. (which would be the 20th century) however you are certainly correct that the ROC in 1912 was the legal successor of the Qing Dynasty and as such also internationally recognized.Interesting perspective, jagdflieger.

ROC is merely a ghost in the international society as it still exists.
Upon the dissolution of the Soviet-union, Ukraine, Belarus and Russia signed the Alma-Ata Deceleration - forming the Commonwealth aka CIS.Hey Jagdflieger,
Does not your argument above mean that the Dontsk/Dombass/Luhansk and Crimea still belong to Ukraine? ie:
