Taiwan and China are also listed as separate countries.

Taiwan and China are two separate countries.

China: No!
Taiwan: No!

Both of them consider other as a part of itself.

Taiwan is strange officially bur if you actually ask people they just want to be independant.

bur if you actually ask people

We don't do that. We ask monarchs. Billionaires. Pop stars if nobody of importance is available. Nobody asks common people. What a strange and stupid idea. Almost a democratic idea.

Indeed, though it bears reminding the people of Taiwan are not a monolith and don't all want independence. Many do, though.

USA accidentally makes the split official policy.

(Maybe it has been for a time. I recall it used to be tacitly understood but unsaid.)
