I don't know. I know that Mandrian is used quite frequently but was mandrian forced onto the taiwanese or did the taiwanese have their own language first? I honestly don't know much about the situation so I can't say what belongs to what. I was just wondering if Taiwan has always belonged to China or did China say that because some chinese fled over to taiwain that it belongs to them or what. I have not a clue. I really would like to know though.
To make this answer short and concise...
Taiwan never separated from China. Here is a short history lesson.
China (including mainland and Taiwan) was called Republic of China from 1912 to 1945
The Republic of China was established in 1912 to replace the Qing Dynasty, ending 4,000+ years of imperial rule in China.
The civil war between the Communist Party and Kuomintang (ruling party at time) resulted in mainland Chinese who had fled to Taiwan in or around 1949, at the end of the Chinese Civil War.
Kuomintang claimed Taiwan as Republic of China and the Communist Party claimed mainland China as People's Republic of China (PRC).
By 1970s, most nations and the UN recognized PRC instead of Taiwan.
If there were a key date, it would be the formation of People's Republic of China in 1949.
People should regard Taiwan not as being separated, but rather a civil war that was never finished.
