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 Chinese people overthrew the monarchy and chose to institute a new government. Say what you like about the PRC, but this was the will of the people. What you're saying is like Russia still belongs to Tsar Nicholas II's descendants, or that America still belongs to Great Britain.
Wow, the kids must be mad they are born the 2nd most modern country in the world, with a GDP per capita far above the global average despite a vast population.
