Can someone explain the whole China and Taiwan situation. Doesnt China own Taiwan? Why are they always in a pissing contest with them? Like China own HK and shut down their little "revolution" a few years ago. But what makes Taiwan different? I'm American so is it like if Puerto Rico didn't want to be a territory anymore?

Old chinese government went to taiwan in exile
Then new and old chinese governments tried to diplomatically solve the issue of both of them claiming to be china, so the 201iq diplomats agreed that they are both china, and both countries belong to china because they are china meaning there is no dispute they agree taiwan is part of china (what's left unsaid is which government exactly is china)
This is why there are political implications when claiming they're different countries

China doesn't own Taiwan it's essentially its own independent country but the rest of the world just goes along with China's delusion on paper while also treating Taiwan like it's an independent country.
HK was actually owned by China even when the Bongs controlled it.
