Debunking the *Myth of Taiwan as a part of China  *or  the Myth that Taiwan is a part of China

Many of my foreign friends like to ask me questions such as/like " Is Taiwan an independent country?" or "Does Taiwan belongs to China?". These questions are complicated and controversial. Before reaching a 'yes or no' answer, I think it's better to know more (facts) about China and Taiwan in from a historical and cultural point of views.
The Republic of China(R.O.C), also known as Taiwan (nowadays), was established in 1912, after the Qing dynasty was overthrown. Dating back to then At that time, the territory of the Republic of China included Bangolia, Tibet, and Taiwan. However, in 1946, the Chinese civil war broke out, in which the Communist Party fought against the Kuomintang(KMT). In 1949, the Kuomintang was defeated and retreated to Taiwan. At that time/moment, the Communist Party founded a new country, the People's Republic of China (PRC), and started to rule mainland China; furthermore, it claimed the Republic of China government had been overthrown. As for The Republic of China, after losing mainland China territory, which was governed by the Kuomintang , which continuesd ruling Taiwan [after losing mainland China territory] to this day.

Apart from the political conflicts between the/[both] countries, Taiwan and China have various cultural differences. About Regarding the language differences, there are mainly two dialects in Taiwan, Taiwanese and Hakka; and in China, different regions breeds have/possess their own dialects. Secondlyar, Taiwanese civilians who are senior than over 20 years old have a right to vote/[suffrage] for the President [of the Republic]. On the other hand/[contrary], Chinese people cannot vote for their leader. Thirdly, Taiwan allows freedom of speech. In general, no book or information is censored by the Taiwanese government. However, the Chinese government restricts/limits the media and [access to] the internet. All the information Chinese people can access is filtered by their government. Overall, Taiwan is a country with more freedom.

Even though some countries don't recognize Taiwan as an independent country under the pressure [given]/applied by China, Taiwan is certainly not a part of China [for sure]. Taiwan has it's own constitution, national flag, national anthem, passport , and none of them is consistent with those of China. So after knowing these facts about Taiwan and China, I can answer the question "Is Taiwan a part of China?" with a big NO.

Unfortunately, recognition of Taiwan is a victim of the cynical world of geopolitics.
