    I understand the distinction between mainland China and Taiwan. Those are not the entities at war. If, by some miracle, the ROC takes over HK or something, it’s still a civil war between the ROC and the communists.

    Also, the capital of the ROC has never been Taipei. It’s Nanjing. It’s just currently controlled by the communists

      I said “the government in Taipei”. They’re in Taipei, even if that’s not their de jure capital.
