Add Tibet, Xianchang, Manchuria, as separate countries and switch Inner Mongolia to being part of Mongolia and now we're getting somewhere.

Taiwan didn't even recognize Mongolia's independence until 2002. Good luck getting the KMT to accept Tibet's or Uyghurstan's independence.

Next thing you know, Western Taiwan decides it's time to make North Korea their brand new province, because "historic grounds" or something

My personal bet is they'll go for Outer Manchuria. They still see the treaty of Aigun as an unequal treaty and as things stand the international community wouldn't even bother writing a strongly worded letter if they decided to rectify it.

i mean considering taiwan's position surely they'd be more than happy to get the mainland in return for letting some remote areas be independent?

IDK about Xinjiang but China's current state of water security basically means no government of China will accept Tibetan independence without basically getting puppet state control over them.

Why Manchuria?

White bread of Chinese balkanization right here
