Uhh the RoC's territorial claims are a direct effect of their century-old hyper-nationalist stances that led to them losing a civil war against the peasantry of China.

Unless you think Mao somehow personally provoked them into declaring ownership over Mongolia?

The ROC has undergone a pretty big shift in its form of governance and general culture in the last ~50 years. Yes, their current claims are a remnant of their past as the government of mainland China, but given that changing their official stance runs the risk of provoking the PRC they're effectively immutable for the time being.

You sound so gullible to believe a nationalist government will give up it's territorial claims on their own Accord lol
