Semantics, but the ROC (Republic of China) claims Taiwan, along with the mainland and Outer Mongolia. It isn’t the case that Taiwan claims the ROC (although if the in power DPP decided not to be the ROC anymore, the PRC would probably invade since declaring independence from the ROC would be the same as refuting one China).
When the ROC/KMT retook Taiwan in 1946, they weren’t exactly seen as liberators. And when the KMT and a bunch of rich mainlanders relocated there in 1949, there were protests, genocide, and so on.
