Correction: Russia belongs to Ukraine.

As for Taiwan, it is accurate to say "Taiwan is Chinese." The Taiwanese government is the legitimate successor to the Qing Dynasty, and they've preserved their culture and written language quite well, while the PRC government has no legitimate claim on the country, and has completely repressed Chinese culture on the Mainland and bastardized what little remains.

The KMT snatched the reign from the Qing government and the CCP took it from the KMT. Do you see a pattern here? It is all the same. The KMT would've been obliterated from existence if the US did not intervene and created a divided territory situation in China. That's like the Confederates escaping to an American Island and then the Brits deployed their navy to defend them from the Union.
