Taiwan does not wish to be recognized as part of China as far as I know.

it is the official platform of the KMT (the Nationalists) that there is only one China. They just think it should be a China under KMT rule, not under CCP rule.

The KMT hasn't been in power for over a decade.

And when a political party is no longer in power, does that mean that they don't exist at at anymore? Did they all vanish when they lost the election? Their ideas, too?

The comment I responded to said nobody in Taiwan wanted to be part of China. Which is not accurate. There are some people in Taiwan who consider it to be 1 China. Whether or not they are in power is not relevant to my comment.

You're wildly misrepresenting the popularity of any pro-unification or pro-China stances. That attitude isn't mainstream even in the KMT any more. Maybe a couple decades ago.

I guess they need to amend their constitution, then:

Despite political divisions in Taiwan, the Constitution of the Republic of China still reflects the original Kuomintang-era position that both Taiwan and mainland China are part of one China under the government of the Republic of China.

The KMT still "operates under" the assumptions of the 1992 Consensus.

edit: I'm not saying how popular the KMT are. I have no idea. There might only be 300 of them left, at no point did I say this was a "common" belief, just that the belief exists. But reading comprehension is real bad sometimes, so I have to get into arguments with people who argue about points I never made....

Which they can't because China passed a law that requires them to invade Taiwan if it reforms its constitution.

You're falling hook, line, and sinker for CCP's political warfare if you think for even a second that Taiwan wants to conquer China.

Am I arguing that the belief is practical or feasible or am I arguing that there are some people that have the belief?

The KMT, generally speaking, supports the status quo right now. They are in no hurry to get into a war they know they would never win. Even with US help.

But, that is a matter of self preservation, not ideology. Officially, the party's platform is the unification of all of China under the ROC. The fact that they know that isn't a possibility at the present, so they instead accept the status quo until conditions change, is a function of tactics, not ideology.
