So you're saying that the Republic of China Armed Forces belong to an entity called "Taiwan"? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_of_China_Armed_Forces
"Taiwan" passports say "Republic of China" on them.
My passport stamps from when I entered Taiwan say "Republic of China".
Taiwan is just _one_ of the islands that the ROC controls. Calling the ROC "Taiwan" muddies the conversation and helps the PRC narrative that "Taiwan is a province of China".
The ROC has been a de facto independent country since 1912 when it was founded. The existence of the PRC since 1949 has not changed that.

On the military and foreign relation really matters in this list. In my understanding, the only reason these two still exists is because US is backing them up since WW2.
- a military
- a government
- a language
- a judicial system
- foreign relations, however hampered they are by the Communist party
It also happens to be in a state of cold war with their nominally Communist neighbour.
If it's not a country, nothing is.
