History (and how it's manipulated) is just another layer of legitimacy for PRC claims over TW. PRC will still operate on the logic that ROC territories whether gained by Japanese ceding postwar or ROC colonization was legally reverted to PRC when UN recognition for China switched to PRC from ROC. Just like how formally, the PRC/ROC civil war continues. As long as formalities (at UN) is on PRC side, it has discourse power and political flexibility to reunify/"invade" TW with reduced cost.
