> They even agree in the 1992 consensus

This is only a "consensus" between KMT and PRC. Even then the reading is completely different between KMT and PRC. While Taiwan is still called ROC officially, there's no policy on Taiwan or DPP side that there's only one China. DPP's stance is that Taiwan is an independent sovereign nation that is called ROC right now.

> The constitution of Taiwan claims sovereignty over mainland China

The ROC(taiwan) constitution does not define it's territory. In fact, there was a supreme court case regarding this, and the judges' ruling was that this was a major political issue, and thus they could not decide on it.

It's true that there are amendments that define the "free area" for practical purposes, but they do not define what are the other areas.

> With that in mind, Taiwan and China situation is really similar to a civil war, Taiwan is just a secessionist. And until the situation is resolved, there is nothing wrong with label it “Taiwan, China”

This is complete BS propaganda language. The situation of China and Taiwan is pretty much the same as Koreas, the only difference is that the balance between NK and SK isn't that tilted. And the world have no problem labeling Nk and SK differently.
