I would say it’s a potential national security threat. The Taiwanese government does call itself The Republic of China.

From a security standpoint it would be like if a group of US politicians and other elites took over Cuba and called themselves The Republic of The United States. Yeah, an island nation wouldn’t win a fight, but their intentions are in the title.

That seems like a very modern and loose definition of "national security threat" which means anything not in the regime's interest.

ROC is not going to conquer or invade PRC. The is ideological and presented by ROC merely existing.
