Of course it's just nonsense political statements. They don't have to make sense. But Taiwan is funny because they make the same claim! In a way, they're right, Taiwan (Republic of China) used to control a lot of mainland China too but was violently shut out by the communists.

Historically speaking, the local Taiwanese population never exerted much control in mainland China. The mainland leadership evacuated to Taiwan during the conflict with the communists

Since they're not the actual same people still alive, it depends if you consider "the same people" to be those linked by ancestry or by continuity of some social organization structure they adhere to.
