Talk:Scenario: South China Sea War/@comment-27896700-20160406170803/@comment-26091145-20160407052048

Taiwan is not part of China, China claims it but Taiwan is recognized as an independent nation among the international community. China claims Taiwan, and Taiwan claims all of China. Taiwan would obviously side with allies if China threatens its sovereignty by laying claims to it. The new leadership in Taiwan believes strongly that Taiwan is not part of China and it is therefore accurate. In addition, China lays claim to some islands under Taiwanese control in the South China Sea, therefore Taiwan would be on the opposing side of China in any conflict.
