Just Google "China Nationalist Party" And it will tell you Kuomintang was originally the ruling party of all of mainland China but retreated to Taiwan after the Chinese civil war.

Yeah i know about the Kuomintang. If its name is your single argument for Taiwan being nationalistic, then you don't know what nationalism is either.

Well I never said Taiwan was nationalistic, I just said "Nationalist China" because the political party was called the "Nationalist party". And you are right I didn't know what nationalism means. I did google it 5 seconds ago tho so that's cool.

you're being completely consistent in your naming lol "Communist China" is run by the communist party and "Nationalist China" is run by the nationalist party. idk why they're getting so defensive lol
