Can't it just be Taiwan's?
Taiwan claims the mainland is theirs, the mainland claims Taiwan is theirs, because both claim to be the legitimate government of all of China, and Taiwan is a part of China.
Taiwan exists only because the US intervened to stop the fascists it supported in the civil war from being wiped out, so it's necessarily a US protectorate/puppet.
And to circle back again to your question, no it couldn't be; they killed the people who were there before they moved in.
