This is like if the Confederacy retreated to Catalina Island, massacred everyone there, and continued calling itself the rightful government of the entire continent afterward.

This is not like that. The ROC government did not "massacre everyone there." It did call itself the rightful government of the entire China for several decades, but it has since then moved on.

It's constitution has not even been amended to not include Mongolia, let alone mainland China.

And the KMT did do a number on the indigenous Formosan population.
