A very well written cousin comment addresses your objections[1].

I linked a wikipedia article that clearly states the history of the ROC, you linked a rambling conspiratorial HN comment from the exact person I was replying to.

Would you say the Republic of China does not claim dominion over what we in the west call mainland China? Yes or No? It's a very simple question that I doubt you will answer.

It is absolutely not a simple question given that the claim is made under duress.

To painfully ask yet again, does the ROC make claim to what we in the west call mainland China?

Is it really that hard to say yes or no?

There sure is a lot of "[citation needed]" in your vaunted Wikipedia article. I count 12 in the section you linked alone. Have you got any actually reliable sources, or just unsourced editorializing on a wiki that anyone can edit?
