I didn’t specify which claim it was, I pointed out how hollow and contextual those claims are.

Is Taiwan claiming to be independent in the chambers of the UN? No.

Does it act, and is it acted upon as if it was independent? Yes.

Am I a cop? No.

Am I the cop who arrested your mom in her bed chamber last night after she confessed to have been real naughty? Yes.

It’s fascinating to see someone come across nuance for the first time.
