<Taiwan's government controls Taiwan and it doesn't answer to or take orders from a higher government.> Of course it takes orders from Beijing -- and Beijing has only issued one order: Don't declare independence from China. This is an order and Taiwan has obeyed this order. Taiwan answers to Beijing. In other administrative matters, Beijing does not care at this point. That will change over time.
