Yes, as they have since the war, just as Taiwan claims China. Your point?

Peace with Taiwan has been maintained for nearly a hundred years, with a mutual understanding that nobody would try to force the issue too hard (look up "strategic ambiguity"). In recent years, the US has been recklessly deviating from that understanding and now people treat the status quo as "Chinese aggression," because of propaganda.

Taiwan isn't claiming the mainland anymore since the 90s
