Ummm no its a sovereign nation
“Taiwan is Taiwan, and China is China. They are different countries, and Taiwan is not a part of China. There has not been a single day in the 55 years since the establishment of the People's Republic of China (PRC) in 1949 that China has had effective control of Taiwan.
Taiwan can be considered a nation in today's world -- it fulfills all requirements for nationhood according to international law. Taiwan has a population of 23 million people and has sovereignty over, and effective control of, the defined territory of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu. These areas are controlled by a government which has the right to form policies and the ability to conduct diplomatic, economic and other types of exchanges with other countries throughout the world.
From the perspective of international law, Taiwan ceased to be a part of China in 1895. Over the years Taiwan has evolved into a country in its own right. During the course of this development there have been a number of important milestones.”

UNPO: Taiwan is a modern, sovereign nation
And BTW: I’m not
bashing China. I’m saying we better get off their teat real fast, or we really, I mean REALLY wont survive if they want to screw with us. I dont like that. Do you? I like the ability to a least
survive on my own. I may not
thrive, but I’d like to survive.
I dont want an America with streets cluttered with Chinese EVs, all to sooth the feelings of the “world is ending in 9 years” emotional types.
