And with China's "One China" campaign, the list is getting ever shorter...

 

There was a joint operation in central Europe with Taiwanese police, where a bunch of Taiwanese were running a call centre, scamming mainland Chinese out of money. After arrest they weren't deported to Taipei but instead to Beijing... While people likely disagree, most governments recognise Taiwan as part of China.

You do not want to mess with the Vatican. The Good Lord might strike you down.

I'm thinking it's the Vatican that may get struck down by the Good Lord.  As it looks to me as though these sinners are worshiping a different master.

um, The usa doesnt have an embassy in Taiwan, bc they dont want to upset China. Hollywood movies actively discard and or avoid any mention of Taiwan, worldwide all airlines do not mention Taiwan as an independent country, but as a part of China, western designers have apologized bc of accidentilly printing "Taiwan" on shirts. The list goes on. NOBODY including the usa want to upset China.

Just to pick out your host country and cynically labeling China as their " masters" seems a tat unfair to me. You have a grudge against Thailand perhaps?

 

Grudges are for the feeble minded. I simply made an observation. Judge it as you wish.

Taiwan is a province of China, as is Tibet, and as Laos, Vietnam and Burma are in the process of becoming.  Thailand's probably next on the list.

Taiwan calls itself "Republic of China". You can't have 2 Republics of China. Wallets work both ways - Taiwan has an overseas aid programme. Not all Taiwanese were happy to be taken over by the defeated Kuomintang - there's a film about it. This is more complicated than it looks.

they see themselves as the real Chinese and quite separate from the mainland.  They even speak and write  a quite distinctly different dialect of Mandarin 

 

The official spoken language of Taiwan is Mandarin Chinese, and is virtually identical to Standard Chinese.  The modest divergence in pronunciation and vocabulary are no more than one would expect of regional dialects of the same language (which, of course they are).

 

As for the writing system, China reformed the ideograms to simplify them and make them easier to learn and write.  The renegade province of Taiwan has not yet adopted this modern writing reform.

I think it's probably the other way around these days.

all wrong.  Do you speak Mandarin or write Chinese characters, or have worked in Taiwan, or for a Taiwanese  company?  if so you would know.

"Renegade regime", ah, now I understand, you are an apologist for the genocidal criminals in Beijing. Good reason to ignore you I think.
