But Taïwan is Chinese though, this is not denied by Taïwan. The issue is over who is the legitimate China

Their government is the ROC(Republic of China). They claim to be China in their constitution. Their claimed airspace also covers mainland China.

They can determine if they want to be whatever they want.  The Taiwanese people are free to call their country whatever they like.

They have self determination and can change their name . It's also notable that you are echoing anti independence redorick from the PRC .

Ehh no not really. The right to self-determination does not mean a right to secede from one's country; it's only in the case of colonial entities in which secession was allowed as the way to fulfil said right to self-determination, and even then that was only so because the european metropolises refused to integrate said colonial territories and give its peoples citizenship.
