Question: is taiwan part of the republic of china

Answer: Yes, The issue hinges on whether Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen, and Matsu should continue to remain effectively the territory of the democratic government of the ROC and maintain the ``status quo'' of two self-governing entities; or become unified with the PRC under the existing communist government; or formally change the ``Republic of China (ROC)'' national title to a new Republic of Taiwan; or become unified with the mainland (after the dissolution of the PRC by the Communist Party of China) under the ROC government.
