It’s not though. Kinmen, Matsu, and Taiping islands are not near Taiwan but still occupied by it.

So it was the flag of China, not Taiwan. Which back then was a one party dictatorship ruled by the Chiang family.

The ROC government held onto many islands including Hainan and Zhoushan which they lost in late 50s to the PRC.
That’s why the ROC still has 2 provinces today, Province of Taiwan and Province of Fujian. If they had kept Hainan and Zhoushan too, ROC today would have had 4 provinces.
The recent news about “Chinese drones invading Taiwanese airspace” was actually a civilian DJI flown from Xiamen to Kinmen (which are 1.5km apart). In fact any time a commercial airline flies out from Xiamen, it’s “violating Taiwanese air space.” Kinmen is 150km away from the island of Taiwan.
