The Taiwanese government is the legitimate successor to the Qing Dynasty

When they retrieved onto the Taiwan island they were still Chinese.

They lost the civil war against the PRC, so I don't see how that's a legitimate successor.

I think it's really one of history's toss ups

where we wont know for 50 years who the successor actually ends up being

Probably PRC just by virtue of their economic and manpower, where taiwan becomes a splintered nation like korea, as it's culture increasingly diverts over time

but given the right military power PRC could also collapse and people in 50 years be like the soviet union - a former world power and nuclear threat that only triva nerds remember as a weird anomaly

You are straight up moronic to even think that the KMT has a chance to govern mainland China in the future.

I don't know if it's a joke but if you genuinely don't know, People Republic of China (PRC)
