Isn’t that, by definition, calling yourself a country?
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

Wrong phrasing on my part.

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
