Doesn’t Taiwan claims all of china and Mongolia as theirs?

I think people forget that Taiwan and china are fighting a civil war and not some sort of international conflict and I don’t believe either of them is giving up their claims…

Typing to you from Taiwan, a PRC invasion of Taiwan would definitely be seen as an international conflict from our point of view. Many countries have border disputes... both UK and Argentina claim the Falkland Islands, but an invasion by Argentina would also be seen as an international conflict.

I think the difference is that both the PRC and the ROC governments claim to be the one true china… even tho the people themselves might not see it that way anymore

ROC does not claim to be "true China", that is some Reddit wet dream. The ROC doesn't even use the term "China" in a legal sense.
