Yes they do, and like I said, think they should be left to get on with things on their own. However they are a break away geopolitical state that was only enabled to do so, by support from US to protect them, if the US hadn't enabled them the CCP would of invaded many many decades ago. You can brush this inconvenient fact under the carpet, but it's not a simple and clear cut as you make out. Both sides taking the ext…
Taiwan WAS a break away state 70 years ago that is an independent country FOR THE LAST 70 years. doesn't matter which ally (US, Japan, whoever) Taiwan had, it is operating as an independent country. If China attacks Taiwan, they are attacking another country. Just like Russia attacking Ukraine. Doesn't matter what psychobabble a dictator spouts.
Well if US stops protecting Taiwan, and China invades, that will end that debate. The new debate will be, Taiwan WAS an independent state and now isn't, and some one will come along and "yeah well that was 70 years ago!".
Psychobabble or not, it boils down to how much anyone wants to get involved in a nasty fight to save someone else, which might end up causing more damage to Taiwan even if they do. I don't think this is right but is the world has always operated, not sure anything has changed.

Look I do agree with you. Taiwan is it's own country and deserves to be. It's treated and acts that way in every sense of the word.
You are right the KMT has now lost 4 presidential elections in a row and the tides are changing. But they still are the majority party in the legislature and will continue to exert tons of control.
My claim is only that Taiwan needs to pretend it still feels united with the mainland to maintain the political farce and keep Beijing happy. That for Taiwan to claim independence would be a political game of chess as then that means Taiwan is no longer just a breakaway province in rebellion - it's actually succeeded.
Maybe officially you are correct but you can't claim the above has no bearing on the relationships between the two nations.
