    I also don’t think it’s anything new?

    I’m not sure deep into the details of taiwan and china, but iirc they both more or less agree that they are “the china”, and just disagree on the exact details

      The ‘Taiwanese’ currently on the island, for the most part, are Han Chinese and are literally officially Chinese citizens. They have a Chinese passport.

      No one disagrees with Xi’s statement, but 67% and shrinking believe that because their ancestor were a part of a colonization attempt of the mainland 80 years ago, they are now a separate nation or something.
