Taiwan is a country. This is not some contested area but well established 80+ years old government with strong ties to NATO etc. No single CCP Soldier or clerk out there. Pure Independent nation
Well, no, it's very much a contested area, with a neighboring nuclear-armed power claiming it is not independent, a nuclear-armed global hegemon very deliberately being ambiguous in its statements about Taiwan's status, limited diplomatic recognition, and no UN membership. It's literally anything but simple or cut-and-dry.
