is taiwan a country or part of china?

Mainland China's position on Taiwan is that there is only one China and that Taiwan is part of China ; the People's Republic of China is awaiting reunification of the island and mainland. However, Taiwan claims independence as a distinct state.

I live in Taiwan and I'm half-Taiwanese. It is definitely NOT a part of China. China is just claiming that every good pop star in Taiwan is theirs. For example Jay Chou. Great singer, directed and is definitely Taiwanese. Yet China is taking credit for him. The WHO might as well be called the CHO, since Dr Tedros is being brain-washed by China. He accused Taiwan of racism when it was actually a group of Chinese people who were being racist. But if he found that out he'd lose his job, since he is from Ethiopia, and guess what? China happens to be in charge of that. There are Chinese ships and spies stationed outside of Taiwan as well. This is probably how WW3 will start.

Taiwan is a great country. I have lived here since 2010. Taiwan was an original member of the United Nations but for political reasons it was kicked out when countries wanted trade relations with mainland China. Now look at the mess the CCP has made in our world. A country that leads in the export of deadly viruses and wants world domination by any means necessary. Boycott the CCP FOR THE FUTURE OF OUR WORLD. 

Taiwan is part of china?  or  china is part of taiwan ,i don't know,by the way  i am a chinese from china.

It is a country, but is not recognised as that, especially by China.

NOT a part of China ...

Taiwan is an island nation, always at odds with China.

Its a rather confusing sitiation. The ruling body of taiwan, officially referred to as the republic of china, is a seperate entiry from the people's republic of china, which includes mainland china. Its not currently precisely defined whether taiwan is part of or seperate from china

It’s a country for now. It was part of China before the revolution. Mainland China wants it back under its rule

A country all by itself.
