The PRC is the confederate equivalent, as they weren’t the original legal government unlike Taiwan, which legally is the heir of the ROC.
Going by paper legality argument, ROC is also illegal because it wrested power from Qing. Which conquered China from Ming, which toppled Yuan, and going fast forward to Han, Qing, Zhao and Shang, neither of them also risen peacefully.
Does it looks like that to you? I would say they have unparallelled cultural and civilisational continuity rarily seen in any other place. And feudal empires falling is not the gotcha you think it is, especially when you look at the absolute clusterfuck in Europe (or many other places too).
You made your point dating to the shang, and I dont disagree. Even more, you’re right, feudal empires falling isn’t a gotcha.
So what about a modern state being violently overthrown? Or is this different because one violent, illegiment warlord championed “the people”, and proceeded to starve 200* million of them after taking power?
Which one of these two states still maintains democratic or republican ideals for the people, a reminder that real Legitimacy lay with the people.
Sorry. Just a measley 50 million people mb. Still the worst famine in history. And 100% preventable.

Well, as i read about the history of China, previous entity of Xia apparently didn’t conquered anyone and even if they did, we don’t know, written history of China start from the late Shang period.
About the rest Tankiedesantski answered you about the “republican ideas” of ROC, i can only add that even if you deflect yet again to “real Legitimacy lay with the people” there is nothing more really legitimate by the people than popular revolution which led to the state being supported by 90% of population.
Well, not quite. It’s more akin to if the union was pushed back and was limited to new-england.

Also one of these states is an authoritarian piece of shit, and it’s definitely not Taiwan.

Ahhh, Chinese history. Breaking every 400-500 years into total chaos, and someone new fixes it so the cycle repeated.

Also nice deflection.
