Is this about factual control? - No, it's about territories belonging to China - such as Taiwan.And yet they had no control over it. That’s like saying Mongolia was part of China in the 1930s.
Wrong, Taipei beholds the same reverse claim onto mainland China - expressively upheld by the KMT. - (also claims towards the South-China-Sea upheld by Taipei are the same as those upheld by the PRC). See Taipei disputes with Vietnam, Philippines and e.g. Japan.The Taiwanese sure don’t see it as China’s territory, and Beijing has no ability to force them to obey.
Unlike the ROC (which claimed Mongolia as an autonomous region) the PRC has never claimed Mongolia to belong to China. - therefore Mongolia is a UN acknowledged sovereign state. The Island of Taiwan is NOT, and is officially represented in the UN by the PRC.
Beijing has never forced Taipei to obey them - they are free to do whatever they want - within the status one country two systems. Where do you get all your errant info from?
The only stance between Beijing and Taipei is, that Beijing will not tolerate an independent Taiwan. And every single Taiwanese and Mainland Chinese knows that.
