Doesn't Taiwan largely still do this in the modern day because revoking those claims would be equivalent to declaring its formal independence as a separate country, which is something China has threatened would be met with invasion?
I feel like "say this or I punch your teeth in" kind of takes some of the legitimacy out of the statement, don't you?
