1 answer

The country that split from China in 1949 and has never officially declared its independence is Taiwan. After the Chinese Civil War, the government of the Republic of China retreated to Taiwan, while the People's Republic of China (PRC) was established on the mainland. Taiwan operates as a separate entity with its own government and political system, but the PRC considers it a part of its territory and has not recognized Taiwan's independence.
