Perhaps in an academic sense they might say they are at war, but that's a bit like north and south Korea being at war. They aren't really.

Neither do they really think of themselves as at war, even if they say they are. People at war would be a lot more circumspect about moving capital and self into the enemy's territory.

It's more like The Cold War = perhaps at war in a sense. But the cold war included actual wars via proxies [as in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Cuba etc].

Taiwan and China are more like OZ/NZ. There's no real need for fighting. There are plenty of ways to get along. The land mass isn't going anywhere. Devolution can come and go to a greater or lesser extent and a shrug is a better response than explosives.
