I genuinely wonder if Taiwan can claim to be part of this agreement? Claiming so would implicitly acknowledge they are China, which they would be unwilling to do I think.

I thought a large part of the contention was that Taiwan did consider themselves to be China. The real Chinese government anyways, in exile.

The dynamic has started to flip in recent years. There's a large and growing faction in Taiwanese politics that doesn't identify as Chinese at all.

They gave up that claim a few years ago.
