Indeed, it is the mutual disconnect between the ROC and PRC's claims of sovereignty with the reality on the ground that makes this such a volatile political flashpoint.

You'll need to provide more convincing evidence that Taiwan actively claims all of these territories, and what this map is based on. Comments under this question say that ROC officially recognises Mongolia; and answers here and here cover the subtleties of the remaining "claim" to mainland China.

Upvoted, because ROC/KMT claims are a part of the puzzle. However, I can't help wondering if, in the extremely convoluted logic present in PRC/ROC relations, the KMT giving up on these claims could not be claimed a cause for war: "Hah, you are claiming you only control Taipei island. So not one China? You are declaring independence! War!". I think I remember reading something to that effect. Last, KMT, who historically made these claims, is currently the pro-China party in Taiwan.

Is there any area claimed by PRC but not claimed by ROC?
