When I asked #GoogleBard "Is #Taiwan part of #China", I got the following answer:
The answer to the question of whether Taiwan is part of China is a complex one, with no easy answer. Both the People's Republic of China (PRC) and the Republic of China (ROC) claim sovereignty over Taiwan, but the two governments have been separated since 1949. The PRC has never ruled Taiwan, and the ROC has never renounced its claim to the mainland.
The PRC government considers Taiwan to be a breakaway province, and it has threatened to use force if Taiwan ever declares independence. The ROC government, on the other hand, sees itself as a sovereign state, and it has refused to accept the PRC's "One China" principle.
The international community is also divided on the issue of Taiwan's status. Most countries have diplomatic relations with the PRC, and they do not recognize the ROC. However, a small number of countries, including the United States, maintain unofficial relations with Taiwan.
Ultimately, the question of whether Taiwan is part of China is a political one, and it is likely to remain unresolved for many years to come.
Here are some additional details about the history and current status of Taiwan:
•Taiwan was ruled by the Qing dynasty of China from the 17th to the early 20th centuries.
•In 1895, Japan defeated China in the Sino-Japanese War and took control of Taiwan.
•After World War II, Japan renounced its claim to Taiwan in 1952.
•The Republic of China (ROC) government, which had fled to Taiwan from the mainland in 1949, claimed to be the legitimate government of all of China.
•The People's Republic of China (PRC) government was established on the mainland in 1949. The PRC government does not recognize the ROC, and it considers Taiwan to be a breakaway province.
•The United States has maintained unofficial relations with Taiwan since 1979. The United States does not officially recognize the ROC, but it does sell arms to Taiwan and it has pledged to defend Taiwan if it is attacked by the PRC.
•The issue of Taiwan's status is a sensitive one, and it is a potential source of conflict between the PRC and the United States.
