I think Poland could explain this to anyone that's having a hard time understanding it. Taiwan is a sovereign nation. It has been sovereign since 1949. Fifty-five years later and the spokes-holes on the mainland are continuing to sound a lot like Adolf Hitler.

The Analogy is incorrect -- Taiwan's govt until recently claimed sovereignity over all of mainland China -- so the Taiwianese KMT government considered themselves China's govt in exile waiting to go and reclaim the mainland. Poland never claimed that it was part of Russia.

While I think your point is somewhat valid, didn't you mean Germany?

While I believe that it is true that Taiwan claimed to be the only legitimate government of China, Taiwan did not seek to develop WMDs and other military measures to bring that into reality.

Taiwan has not targeted the mainland in the same manner that the mainland has targeted it. The exercises alone, mentioned in this article, depict a nation seeking to protect itself, not project outward in occupation.
