    Taiwan (or The Republic of China) is a special case in that it doesn’t want independence from the PRC, but rather they claim that all of China is part of the ROC and is illegally occupied by the PRC. The PRC, likewise, views Taiwan as a rebellious little part of their own country.

    Though I learned just now that there’s a political movement that eschews this view and instead just wants sovereignty for the land currently owned by Taiwan.

    Anyway, as far as I know, Ukraine doesn’t make any similar claims to Russia (except for certain contested areas).
