The People's Republic of China recognises Taiwan as one of it's province. While the people from both sides of the sea often refers to each other as 'brothers and sisters'. It is clear however, the officials of Taiwan want it to be an independence country. But if you have lived in China for 10 years like I did, you can clearly see the passion of the 'Taiwaness' to not to be 'Taiwaness'. In the past, when Taiwan was at its peak power, China was still very poor, and this is one of the first reason that caused the officials of Taiwan to wish for independence. However as China is now every powerful, western countries do 'take sides'. For example: US stated it does not recognise Taiwan as a country. To be a globally recognised country, there must be a representitive at the United Nation, Taiwan has no such representitive.

Can Taiwan win China?

I am not sure what you mean by this question. Taiwan is regarded by China as a breakaway province, while Taiwan sees itself as an independent nation. If you are asking whether Taiwan can "win over" China-- to persuade China to accept Taiwan as an independent country, that is very unlikely, since the Chinese government is firmly insistent that Taiwan must rejoin China. At this point, China has not threatened Taiwan nor is there a possibility of a war, but both countries see themselves very differently, and I doubt that will change at any time in the near future.
