Military exercises on their own territory as recognized by the United Nations and almost every single country on Earth? What is the issue here?
The Taiwan Province is an inalienable part of the People's Republic of China:
And this is recognized by the United Nations ever since 1971 after UNGAR 2758.

Video of the votes happening: https://invidious.projectsegfau.lt/watch?v=sfOIEjuXFyU
why are you showing me excerpt's from PRC's constitution? Yeah, China claims Taiwan the same way Russia claims Ukraine, I dont care what the aggressor imperialist country thinks, I care what the people within the territory think. And what they wanted was to host a US official in their territory, and then China decided to threaten them. I get the impression folks in your circle have nothing but disdain for the people in Taiwan and dont care what they want.
That UN vote is not about Taiwan being a part of PRC, it's about who represents 'China' in the UN.
Exactly, and the Taiwan Province is a part of CHINA, which is represented by the government in Beijing (PRC), before UNGAR 2758 it was represented by the government in Taipei (ROC).
"Taiwan" is not a country, regardless of one's position on this they are either a province of the People's Republic of China or of the Republic of China.
one country's constitution doesnt get to decide the sovereignty of other nations. And that's what you've shown me, plus an unrelated vote in the UN. Neither of these preclude Taiwan as a country. And ignoring the part about what the people within the territory of Taiwan want just confirms for me the inhuman view your circle has of people.
It's not just the PRC's constitution though, it was decided by UNGAR 2758 that the People's Republic of China represents "China", which includes the Taiwan Province inside it's territory.

this part is missing. Taiwan isn't mentioned in the resolution.
Taiwan does not need to be named any more than any other province does, it is just part of China.
UNGAR 2758 made the PRC the representative of CHINA, in which Taiwan was already a province of.
really weird strategy coming into a discussion with someone who believes in Taiwan sovereignty, and just expect Taiwan being a part of China as a given I'll just accept
Go back to your fucking Fox News with the Taiwan independence bullshit
man you really need to work on how you view the world with predictions that far off the mark.
You are the one defending fascist seprestists. Anyone supporting “Taiwan independence” can go get fucked
fascist separatist is an oxymoron. Basically calling the rebels in Star Wars imperial scum.
I don’t think you know what the terms mean
Fascism is authoritarian centralizing of power, separatism is wanting to break away from a centralized power.
You clearly don’t know what fascism is then
