Not even Taiwan claims to be a country though. They claim to be the sole legitimate government of China, hence their actual name, The Republic Of China, and not “republic of taiwan” or some other thing.

Isn’t that, by definition, calling yourself a country?
Wrong phrasing on my part.
No matter which side you ask, the Republic Of China (ROC) or the People’s Republic of China (PRC) Taiwan isn’t a country, it is a region of the country of China. Saying that Taiwan is a country satisfies neither the ROC nor the PRC’s claims
While it was true for a long time, I don’t think Taiwan expects to get China back anymore. It’s more not to start WW3 for the last 30+ years
