TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) – China’s military sent 103 warplanes toward Taiwan in a 24-hour period in what the island’s defense ministry said Monday was a daily record in recent times.
During the Communist revolution the republic government was losing pretty badly and fell back to the very defensible island. They've been there ever since with their official name: the Republic of China. So there's some civil war tension there and a lot of claims of who's the rightful ruler of China.
Taiwan's position is no longer that it is the rightful ruler of China. That notion died with Chiang Kai-shek and nobody with a shred of a brain truly believes it.
The PRC won the fight over who "legitimate China" is when the UN gave them the seat for China. Also, one of these is an international superpower and the other is Taiwan.
