Yes
China also lays claim to Taiwan, although it is an independent country.
Taiwan, officially called the Republic of China, was originally part of China. After the communist revolution took hold of China, the existing government and those persecuted by the regime, fled the mainland and set up on the island of Taiwan. Mao then formed the Peoples Republic of China.
China itself is just a region. The countries are the People's Republic of China and, if you agree, the Republic of China (Taiwan).
they escaped to Taiwan.( well most of them)
The Republic of China (ROC) was founded 1911 and until 1949, governed all of China. The People's Republic of China (PRC) was founded in 1949 after the Communists defeated the Nationalists in the Civil War. The ROC moved to Taiwan. In the 1970s most of the world stopped recognising the ROC, both as the legitimate government of China, and as a sovereign state. Recognition went to the PRC, which is now commonly known as "China", while the ROC is commonly known as "Taiwan".
The names of the two Chinas are the Peoples Republic of China and Republic of China. The Peoples Republic of China encompasses mainland China as well as Macau and Hong Kong. The Republic of China refers to Taiwan.
Taiwan is also known as Formosa. Home to the Republic of China (ROC), not to be confused with the Peoples Republic of China (PRC).
