They are all provinces, some more restive than others.
Is he gonna make it bros?
now resorting to semantics. you can deem any place a "province", doesn't mean that the people of this region don't have the critical mass to demand sovereignty and self determination.
They were conquered by the emperors before the gommies took over, and the gommies kept the territories, das all
well, I'm sorry the gommies sadly cannot keep them
None of these provinces ever had a democratic movement for autonomy, only armed gangs (Chechnya), a former feudal despot trying to reassert authority (Tibet), and in the case of Taiwan a government in exile that essentially displace the indigenous people of Formosa. Just because a few local elites and criminals call for autonomy, does not make it a sustained movement for self-determination.
The last remnant of Nationalist China, which still claims Mainland China including Tibet along with all of Mongolia and some areas of other countries as part of its territory.

Tibet and Chechnya were both made into autonomous regions by the gommies
