3. Taiwan belongs to China

Most of the world recognizes that Taiwan is a part of China, it’s been like this forever.

“According to a Lowy Institute tally in January 2025, about 74 percent (142) of the UN member states explicitly endorse the PRC's position that Taiwan is part of China, 23 of those states do not endorse the one-China principle, and others merely acknowledge or respect rather than recognize the PRC position.”
