Taiwan is made up of 70% of native Taiwanese people. It is disingenuous to say that the people living there, are made up of escaped refugees from the china mainline.

The fact that 70% of the population living their, has ancenstry dating back hundreds of years, is what make their claim valid.

Taiwan was under Ming and then Qing Dynasty rule during many of those years.

Taiwan also has indigenous people that were colonized.

And then after the Qing Dynasty, they achieved independence.

Thus, their country is now ruled by their own people.
