I can’t wrap my head around the idea that people don’t think it’s “obvious” that the ROC and the PRC are different countries. Neither side has exercised control over the others territory in almost 70 years. In fact the PRC has _never_ controlled Taiwan and the other territories under control of the ROC.

What reasoning would support the idea that the PRC represents a legitimate government and not the ROC?

yep, the whole story it's actually reversed and ROC has the proper government for all China, PRC gov are just revolutionaries/separatists, not vice versa, sadly ROC don't have good cards in hand to play this game

No the ROC isn’t the proper government of “all China”. The ROC is the proper government of Taiwan, Kinmen, etc. The PRC is the proper government of the mainland. There is no “one China” the encompasses both regions. That’s just a fiction promoted by both sides in attempt to legitimize military aggression.
