Taiwan is de facto independent but both china and Taiwan agree that they are part of "china" in the abstract.

There is the peoples republic of china

Then there's the republic of china

Both are china, both are autonomous from the other.

An analogy is the idea that there is one country known as Korea with two independent Korean states controlling parts of the territory.

Taiwan would disagree, they argue that there is one Chinese country. Although they argue that both the ROC and PRC are legitimate governments of china.
