I hear the same thing over and over again from westerners like you. You don’t think for yourself, you just follow the hive-mind.

    While funny, the concept of North Cuba doesn't even begin to cover the silliness of Taiwan being the true China.

    It would be more like the Confederates retreating to Puerto Rico after losing the US Civil War, and still claiming that they're the true government of the USA. They'd also receive immense economic and military support from another global power, say Russia, in order to maintain somewhat hostile relations with the US mainland.

    Good analogy, but the US didn’t acquire Puerto Rico until 1898, so it would have been equivalent to them retreating to Cuba at that time.

    Maybe if the Republic of Texas had stayed independent instead of joining the US before the Civil War?
