From the transcript

The Republic of China is a state under siege.

Based on the island of Formosa, now known as Taiwan, the Republic of China, or ROC, lives in a state of semi-permanent exile imposed by its main rival, the People's Republic of China, which today controls the entire Chinese mainland and receives recognition as the one true Chinese state from a majority of world nations.

The PRC claims Formosa as a part of its territory and claims the ROC's population as its own.
