I will also remind you – again – that, while Taiwan is a vassal of the US, it is still a province of China (you know what I mean).
Is this supposed to mean "Taiwan is politically dominated by US foreign policy, but culturally and historically it is connected to the mainland and those ties are still present even under current geopolitical relations"?
Yes, it also means that Taiwan is quite literally a province of the People's Republic of China. ROC still claims all China, and the PRC does it too; the war will only fully end when China is unified, and we already know who won (one China is recognised officially by every country, and other isn't). It's all a matter of waiting.
