What year was Taiwan founded?
Taiwan is an island which has a different government than the Chinese mainland because the losing non-communist forces during the Chinese civil war fled to Taiwan leaving the communists to take over the mainland. The official title of Taiwan is the 'Republic of China'
Where is Taiwan?
Taiwan is off the east coast of Asia, east of mainland China.Taiwan (also "Formosa" or "The Republic of China") consists of the islands of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen, Matsu and some minor islands in the seas east of mainland China (in the Philippine Sea and the Taiwan Strait, extensions of the western North Pacific Ocean).Because of the split between the Nationalists and Communists following the 1949 war, China still claims jurisdiction over Taiwan and vice versa. However, there is major conflict between the two places, on whether to call it a province, the legitimate China or an entirely independent country altogether.

Is Taiwan part of China?
That would depend on what you mean by "China".Taiwan is a part of the geographical and cultural region commonly referred to as China, and is currently administered by the government called Republic of China (ROC), a democratic and free sovereign state that was the historical government of all of the China region from 1912 to 1949. It is not a part of the People's Republic of China (PRC), also known as Communist China, which was founded by Mao Zedong and has ruled mainland China since 1949.The Qing Dynasty was overthrown and Republic of China (ROC) was established in mainland China in 1912.At the end of World War II in 1945, Japan surrendered and gave Taiwan back to China according to Cairo Declaration. ROC then took control of mainland and Taiwan and was recognized as the only legal government in China.Meanwhile, because the Chinese Civil War between the ROC and the Communist Party of China is in progress, the ROC finally lost the civil war and its government fled to Taiwan in 1949. Still ROC claimed that it is the only government on mainland and Taiwan The Communist forces took control of mainland and founded the People's Republic of China (PRC) in the same year.Since then, Mainland and Taiwan became separate. The People's Republic of China is now commonly known as China and the Republic Of China is now commonly known as Taiwan.That's a complicated issue. The short version is that China says yes and Taiwan says no.Taiwan's government used to be China's government, but it was overthrown by the communists in the 1940s. After the communists took over the Chinese mainland, the nationalists retreated to the island of Taiwan. China's new communist government planned to bring Taiwan under its control as well, but those plans were sidetracked by the Korean War. To this day, China and Taiwan have separate governments, each of which claims to be the only legitimate government of China.So, really, China says yes and Taiwan says yes, they just disagree about which government is the one legitimate government of both the Chinese mainland and Taiwan.

Now, why doesn't Lithuania directly establish the Embassy of the Republic of China (Taiwan)?
In August, Lithuania allowed Taiwan to set up a de facto embassy in Vilnius. Many countries have allowed Taiwan to do the same, referring to it as a “Taipei” office. But Lithuania let Taiwan call it a “Taiwanese” office, upsetting Beijing. China recalled its ambassador to Lithuania and expelled Lithuania’s ambassador in Beijing.
How does the cold war include Taiwan?
Back in the 1960's, the people didn't know what to call today's Taiwan. Newspapers & television called the place "Nationalist China", next week it was "Formosa"; the following month it was called Taiwan...then TIME or NEWSWEEK or LIFE magazine might call it Nationalist China again. By whatever name it went by, and today it appears Taiwan is the most common name, was the US's primary ally from 1950 until the end of the 20th century.

Did the struggle between communist and nationalist have little effect on China's political and economic development after world was two?
When WWII ended in '45, the communists and nationalists in "China" fought each other. By '49 the Reds won the war and the nationalists fled to Taiwan (formerly called Formosa) and became known as Nationalist China. From '49 to present it hasn't changed. Except people seem to call Nationalist China Taiwan these days. Back in the '60s Nationalist China was also called Taiwan and sometimes even Formosa, maybe its because their president Chang Kai Shek has been gone for so long, people just call it Taiwan. Another words, General Chang Kai Shek may have kept the term "Nationalist China" alive.
