In perspective of the laws of the Republic of China, the Taiwan independence movement is considered as secessionism, but practically, the movement seeks to replace the ROC with the Republic of Taiwan because Taiwan area is the only practical region administered by the ROC.
In perspective of the laws of the People's Republic of China, the Taiwan independence movement is considered as secessionism, too because the PRC considers the Taiwan area as its integral part.
