Pure desinformation. Taiwan is and remains an independent country despite the wishes of the Mainland Chinese regime.

Taiwan (ROC) also claims that they are the rightful government of the mainland. So I don't know how you can claim they are independent.

They are two independent countries claiming rights to the same spot of land. It's like any other international disputed territories except here the territories in dispute represents the entirety of the countries.

Just because a country is enclaved into another doesn't mean that it looses its independence as soon as the wrapping country claims it.
