Taiwan is a part of China, but not a part of PRC and never was a part of PRC despite PRC declares its ownership.

[@lovelylino2570]

as someone who is passionate about geography, i usually absolutely LOVE this channel, but it's really disrespectful and offensive to say taiwan is a part of the people's republic of china. that's not a geography fact, it's an oversimplification of china trying to claim taiwan as theirs when it *is* in fact a country, regardless of if the entire world recognizes it or not. it's very similar to how russia tries to claim former soviet countries as there's, most notably ukraine, except for the fact that those countries have more international recognition. the only reason more countries don't officially recognize taiwan (rather they unofficially recognize them in every other way) is because of the potential ramifications from china. taiwan is *not* part of the people's republic of china, no matter how badly beijing wants to invade and steal it.

1. The Holy See is NOT the official name of Vatican City. The name of Vatican City is Vatican City (or Vatican City State which is the formal name). The Holy See acts as sort of 'the government' of the Catholic Church, as well as the Vatican. It's not the same thing as the Holy See, the same way the Capitol is not the same thing as the United States. 2. Vatican City IS a country. You described it as an 'independent sovereign state' which is LITERALLY THE DEFINITION of a country.
