Why doesn't the world accept Taiwan as an independent country?
Because Taiwan doesn’t actually want to be an independent country. Independent from Mainland China, that is.
You see, both the Taipei Los Angeles Dodgers And Kiss Dodgers Hawaiian Shirt, LA Dodgers Hawaiian Shirt and the Beijing government consider themselves to be the only legal government of all of China. What we call “Taiwan” is actually the ROC, the Republic of China, while what we call “China” is actually the PRC, the People’s Republic of China. They are both China, in their own eyes. And Taiwan could not declare independence without giving up their claims to the rest of China, which is (at least for now) unthinkable. (Also, the PRC would object and possibly invade. You might say China is a dictatorship, but it’s not the sort of dictatorship where there’s one absolute despot and everyone else just asks “how high?”; for the foreseeable future, it would be politically impossible for any Chinese leader to give up the claims to Los Angeles Dodgers Baseball Sports Logo Dodgers Hawaii Shirt, LA Dodgers Hawaiian Shirt – they’d be ousted and replaced by someone more hawkish. And possibly executed for treason.)
This is not an altogether uncommon situation, especially not in conflicts that stem from the Cold War. Both Los Angeles Dodgers America Flag Tropical MLB Hawaiian Shirt, LA Dodgers Hawaiian Shirt claim to be the only real one, and claim that they are the only legal rulers of the other half. The Republic of Poland had its seat of government in London from 1939 to 1991 (after free elections in post-communist Poland, they acknowledged the new government as legitimate and handed over the Republic’s insignia and other symbolic odds and ends). Emanuele Filiberto of Savoy claims to be the ruler of the Kingdom of Italy. LA Dodgers Hawaiian Shirt once appeared on stage with another musician who was the 10th in line to the throne of Armenia, which always caused a buzz in the audience, but as they explained, unfortunately, Armenia ceased to be a kingdom in 1502 (at the time, it was a Soviet Republic). The French, who are now on their 5th Republic, have no less than three people claiming to be rightful rulers of the Kingdom of France: Jean-Christophe Bonaparte (Napoleon VII), Louis Alphonse de Bourbon, and Jean d'Orléans.
