Up until like 2003 or something Taiwan claimed all Mongolian nationals to be their own nationals and didn't accept their passports as valid. Also legally both the PRC and ROC claim eachother's citizens to be their own nationals. Except Taiwan went even further and maintained until like the 2000s that every person of Chinese descent anywhere on the planet is a Taiwanese National. The Mainland's solution is to just treat Taiwanese like regular citizens. The Taiwanese solution is to just have some weird internal caste system where civic rights are tied to having a hukou registered to Taiwan island so there's like 100,000 people with Taiwanese nationality and Taiwanese passports who technically don't have the right to reside in Taiwan.
