I hope Trump doesn’t sell arms to Taiwan. Imagine China arming Mexico or Cuba against the USA, Americans would lose their minds. Taiwan is in China’s backyard and not only in China's backyard but it's literally a rebelling region of China. Stay out of it.

From 1895 until the end of World War II, Taiwan was territory of Japan (known as Formosa). By the end of the Chinese Civil War, the Nationalist government had made its last capital in Taipei and retreated there in 1949. There was nothing for the Chinese Communist government to "reclaim." They never had sovereign control of it to begin with.
Agreed, the Chinese Communists never ruled Taiwan but the Chinese Qing Dynasty did for a couple of centuries from 1683 prior to the Japanese takeover.
